You're The Handmaid's Tale!

by Margaret Atwood

An outraged feminist, you have been oppressed and even silenced in
your life, fueling your fury against the society as it stands. Your role has been
strictly defined by society and you are almost certainly unsatisfied with it. You
have some vague idea of how this has come to be, but insufficient power to stop it,
let alone reverse the trend. And somehow you blame yourself for everything because
people ask you to. Beware people renaming your nation a Republic.

Very Strange results! I would never describe myself as an outraged feminist, mainly because I've never been able to identify with many women in my life, but I guess part of the reason for that is that I don't identify with the role/personality for women that has been strictly defined by society, which other females tend to be fine with and I've never enjoyed. Though, one has to wonder what came first, the personality or the definition. I mainly just object to anyone and everyone being placed into dichotomous (or even tri-, quadra-mous) categories. I find it does nothing to promote understanding of our fellow man.


I've never even read a Handmaid's Tale! I hear Atwood is a bit boring...anyone know for certain? I like to read books where everyone is beautifully broken and nothing ever really gets fixed, just accepted.
