A single-sided focus on the negative aspects of western society and its actions combined with a Rousseau-inspired 'noble savage' attitude towards non-western societies is hating the west and is most likely what the grandparent poster refers to. All the vices attributable to western society - slavery, colonialism, brutality, sexism and all the other -isms - can also be attributed to other societies but these go mostly unmentioned or are mentioned in passing without leaving a mark while they are portrayed as being essential elements of western cultures.

Fictional accounts of the oppression of women in the western world are so unimaginative and uninteresting that it does not even come close to capturing the real horror of the oppression of women in the non-western world.

"Why are you whining about your own oppression, these other women have it worse"

Based on your posts I guess you're totally fine with whatever oppression of women that Christianity or the bible imposes.

You do get that "Fictional accounts" mean that it's not real, right? A Handmaid's Tale is not history, it's fiction, and it's bad fiction.

So you're mad about a fictional story about a theonomoic state where women are raped constantly? Meanwhile there are plenty of Christians in America that still believe that wives cannot be raped by their husbands, something that was legal only 50 years ago. Not to mention the rape perpetrated by Christians on their slaves in America.

Pointing out facts != being mad.

		It's not facts, it's your opinion, clearly heavily influenced by your beliefs.
