You know, Saya, when I first became aware of that book, I thought (like much many works of satire, parody and allegory) that it was touching on some important issues by painting the extreme picture. I had no belief that reality would ever come close to resembling the radical dehumanization of women that the story portrays.
Now, I've joined you with the worry.
It's been a roller coaster couple of days. Yesterday I was celebrating CSTS L.A. and the announcement that in five years Can't Stop The Serenity has raised over $500,000 for Equality Now. Then I read this, and think how is that anywhere near enough money to fight this battle.
*sigh*
