Handmaiden's tale [book]
I PROMISED SOMEONE I'D HAVE A BIG DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS BOOK SO I WILL ONLY DROP MY LEAST SERIOUS OBSERVATION: UNDERCURRENTS OF ANTI-FOOTBALLISM.
"we weren't allowed out, except for our walks, twice daily, two by two around the football field, which was enclosed now by a chain-link fence topped with barbed wire."
"The football stadium is that way too, where they hold the Men's Salvagings. As well as the football games. They still have those."
"They [men] aren't a patch on a woman except they're better at fixing cars and playing football, just what we need for the improvement of the human race, right?"
"At last the Commander in charge of this service comes in. He's balding and squarely built and looks like an aging football coach."
PS: HIGH LEVELS OF BANGOR MAINE NAME DROPPING! IT MAKES ME WANT TO PRETEND I'D BE PART OF THE UNDERGROUND WOMEN'S RAILROAD BUT MAYBE EVERYONE IN EVERY REAL SOCIETY THAT HAS TAKEN A DARK PATH PRETENDS THEY'D BE THE ONE THAT RESISTS.
