Basically it’s about how America turns into an f’d up theocracy and a lot of the “elites” are sterile (I think they say from vaccines, IIRC). So, they have “Handmaids” (women who are known to be fertile) that are basically owned by these elite families and the men have sex with them to try and procreate. They do this w/ the handmaiden lying in between the wife’s legs while the wife holds her arms down to the side and watches her husband having sex w/ the handmaiden to make sure he doesn’t do anything intimate like kissing, etc. Because, ya know, it’s not cheating if your wife is watching and you just do the act w/o any intimacy or feeling. 🙄🤦🏼♀️ There’s more to it than that but that’s the most basic explanation of what it’s about. It’s an extremely messed up book/tv show!!!
Right? It is an extremely disturbing, perverse, and messed up plot line. You’re lucky, I gave you the very condensed and to the point synopsis. 😬😂 I needed ear bleach after listening to my coworker talk about it. 🤦🏼♀️🙉😂
