"It was very intentional to make the situation in the novel feel ordinary, and therefore more frightening," she said. "One of the things about looking at the world through a feminist lens is that we are already in a dystopia." [From New York Times]
Let me amend that. "One of the things about looking at the world through a feminist lens is that it turns your brain to goo and makes you, like, real stoopid".
"She" here being Leni Zumas, whose name I'm going to make sure I don't remember.
Consider the definition of "dystopia": ... an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one.
Then consider the changes to the treatment of women in US society, or even in the west over the last century: the majority of women at universities are now women. There's equal pay for equal jobs. They have reproductive rights. They are helped at home by their partners. In every way under the law they are equal to men. In some cases "more equal". Heaps still to be done, sure.
But “dystopia" Ms Zumas? Dystopia??
Get real Mz Lumaz.
