In other news, it’s no longer August so here in the US the frenzy about Halloween is being whistled up by marketers. How about a sexy handmaid costume??!
An upsetting dystopian future has emerged where women no longer have a say. However, we say be bold and speak your mind in this exclusive Brave Red Maiden costume.
Oh yes, that’s the way to “be bold and speak your mind” – by wearing a tiny skirt to signal “this way to the important bit” and shoes you can’t walk a step in. Hahaha theocratic oppression of women, great, now spread your legs, bitch.

Holy fucking… what the…
Aaaagh!
My initial thought was, how is it possible to fail to understand the central thesis of The Handmaid’s Tale this badly? Black holes aren’t that damn dense!
It can’t be. The only reason I can think of to do this is to try and actively undermine THT. This can’t possibly be anything but an attack on the message that THT is trying to send. No matter what the writers, directors or actors on the show are trying to do, the producers and marketers are just fucking them as hard as they possibly can with this bit of licensing.
It’s…. unfathomable. Just, aaaagh!
Karellen,
I would bet that the producers of Handmaid’s Tale have nothing to do with this. It appears to be a knockoff, hence the description of “Brave Red Maiden” rather than “Handmaid.” Officially licensed merchandise uses the correct name and screams it from the rooftops.
Yes I think this is just a rip-off by Yandy, nothing to do with the people who adapted the novel.
When did Halloween stop being about ghosties and ghoulies and long-leggedy beasties?
AoS – that woman looks quite long-leggedy to me.
Iknklast that’s because 12” of her leg are part shoe.
Well, that didn’t last long. Bit of a kerfuffle, apparently.
