The Handmaid's Tale | Margaret Atwood

When I first read this in 1985 it had a big impact on me and it‘s one book that stayed with me. I‘ve not watched the series and probably won‘t. This reread allowed me to see how much is actually happening now. Loved the authors introduction written in 2017. Who would have thought back in 1985 that some of this could be a possibility.

All. The. Stars.

I could not stop listening. Such a beautiful journey for a beautiful soul. This is a great discussion of religion, theology, gender, humanity, love. It has an interesting and lovely connection to “When God was a Woman.” Her description of her thought processes and her experiences really resonated with me and was refreshing to hear. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics I learned things about the world and myself through this book. It was just such a lovely experience listening to this book. 1000% recommend. #PaulaStoneWilliams #AsAWoman #audiobook

lil1inblue @GingerAntics Would you recommend the TEDtalks before or after reading the book? 2d
GingerAntics @lil1inblue hm… I don‘t think they take anything away from the book. She talks about giving them. Maybe before, but after wouldn‘t be bad either. 2d

I almost want to give this a pick. I don‘t know why. It has some problematic parts, some of which actually damage women (can we please burn “herstory” to the ground already! Actual women in the field are harmed by this term, thank you). She seems to have no clue what most people mean when referring to the “c-word” (she uses it when referring to the word crone). 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics The use of a product with someone else‘s blood as an ingredient is not medically sound. Just. No. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 2d
GingerAntics It‘s mostly a discussion of how women have been marginalised and harmed throughout history through the use of the words “witch,” “slut,” and “feminist.” Definitely a conversation starter, but there are some issues here that just make me so uncomfortable. I probably would not read this again, even for a buddy read or group read. #KristenJSollee #WitchesSlutsFeminists #audiobook #ReadByTheAuthor (edited) 2d

I have some questions. Very thought provoking theory. I look forward to discussing this with the dead philosophers society in the new year. #MerlinStone #WhenGodWasAWoman #audiobook #religion #philosophy #DeadPhilosophersSociety

So christians will get all up in arms because African nations have customs that a raped girl must be married by her rapist and they actively practice this... and are just astounded that even after being coerced into becoming Christian‘s, they still practice this… while claiming the bible is the literal word of god, that is 100% true, 100% right, and 100% just. Does this mean that by convincing them to stop this practice, they are false teachers?

GingerAntics #MerlinStone #WhenGodWasAWoman #audiobook #religion oh, I cannot wait to discuss this with most philosophy sisters!!! 3d

I gave up trying to be perfect a long time ago (I find it to be logically impossible and I‘m very literal like that).
But there are some lessons to be learned from reshma Saujanis story.

I have to admit that I did not know who Emily Ratajkowski was when I chose this book. She is brutally honest about her body, her life. This book left me feeling that she still has some work to do to get to a place of self love, but then don‘t we all? I think I like her, though. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When you hear “the c-word,” what do you think of!
#KristenJSollee #WitchesSlutsFeminists #audiobook #ReadByTheAuthor

GingerAntics For the record, crone is NOT the c-word! I can‘t imagine anyone would have guessed crone as the c-word. 🙄 4d
5feet.of.fury Depending on the context: Cancer? C u next Tuesday? 😂 no not crone 4d
Eggbeater I think of an innocent body part turned into an insult, mainly by misogynistic men. It's still a good word for the body part, and I'm taking it back! 4d
GingerAntics @Eggbeater yeah, she said c-word first, then she said crone. 🤯 I‘m sorry, I thought we were really digging into to sexism for a second there! 4d
GingerAntics @5feet.of.fury hadn‘t thought of cancer. That‘s a good one, like how some people will only whisper it. 4d

TalesandTexts How is this book? It‘s on my TBR!! 🤩 3d
GingerAntics @TalesandTexts well, her idea of the c-word is very different from mine. She talks about using an ointment that has someone else‘s menstrual blood as an ingredient. She used the ridiculous and harmful work “herstory.” It was also written in 2017 and BOY have things really taken a nose dive since then. 3d
GingerAntics @TalesandTexts other wise, it‘s actually an interesting discussion starter, but she‘s a little out there for me… maybe I‘m prudish (or she would call me that), but that‘s just me. 3d

TalesandTexts Omg!!! Whaaaattt?!!! How can authors be so irresponsible? Giving such information and not putting out any - “hey maybe don‘t try all these without further research…?” 2d
TalesandTexts I totally get you though. I am not too into the “out there” practices - especially in spell work and rituals. But I get that what isn‘t my cup of tea, maybe someone else‘s. Thanks for the input! 2d
GingerAntics @TalesandTexts yeah, the totally unnecessary description of her use of the ointment was just… wow… I think maybe she just needs a filter. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Like, some info is private and that‘s not prudish, babes. 2d
