Margaret Atwood is a visionary.

Last week’s overturning of Roe was horrible. Look at the misogynistic videos playing in right-wing world in just the past few days.

Some of these are for shock value, I’m sure, but unfortunately a number of them are actually meant to rally the troops. Here’s today’s offering and it lays it on the line. The premise of this one is that a woman is only as good as her husband. And of course, women shouldn’t be leaders or hold responsible positions. That is a recurrent theme in all these videos.

x Elijah Schaffer, a host on Glenn Beck's @theblaze network, says women can't solve the world's problems because those problems were created by men: "When women lead, it is a sign of a curse on a country." (Stick around for the insights shared by Schaffer's producer, Josiah David.) pic.twitter.com/TwMfmHd0fj — Right Wing Watch (@RightWingWatch) July 1, 2022

This was a few days ago.

x If there was any doubt about the far-right's agenda, white nationalist Vincent James makes it explicitly clear: "We are the Christian Taliban and we will not stop until The Handmaid's Tale is a reality, and even worse than that." pic.twitter.com/2w3rNdX7V4 — Right Wing Watch (@RightWingWatch) June 28, 2022

And this is Step One in creating a Handmaid’s Tale society, get rid of women in any kind of responsible position. I expect to see a lot more of these.

x Right-wing "journalist" Patrick Howley tells women who are upset about Roe being overturned that their concerns are "trivial": "You're gonna hush your mouth. I hear a lot of 'wahh, wahh, wahh,' not a lot of churning butter ... We've heard enough from you." pic.twitter.com/62fMHftwc1 — Right Wing Watch (@RightWingWatch) June 30, 2022

It’s very ugly and it’s very real. The abortion debate has never been about a moral concern for babies, it’s always been about controlling women.
