It is so very enlightening to listen to such a conversation that delves deep into the reality which Margaret Atwood foresaw whenever she observed the societal paradigms related to the State's ethics in maintaining a patriarchal authority.
I thoroughly enjoy seeing and hearing Margaret Atwood. She's able to see the minutiae and the wider perspective simultaneously. Living through autocrats, bullies, and still having some optimism is a remarkable feat in itself. The MADDAM trilogy is another, a series of books depicting how "technology" can be very bad, can distort human and all species life into some things truly grotesque. Her books are deep, sometimes disturbing, but as she says" there's a hole ahead in the road" to warn about going down the road to a place that could be ruinous. Don't.
@@GretabpoohI don't think the Americans want to take these children from mothers who don't want them, but they don't want to educate them or feed them or clothe them or give them medical care.

So, when does the money come rolling in? Are we waiting for the checks before we take to the streets in great numbers? Or has the lull of the warming pot put too many of us to sleep?
Very interesting. a thoughtful response to questions. I don't think aborttion (aka Roe v Wade) is a feminist issue, killing babies should not be legal in most cases, There are lots of methods of contraception which should be made available to all classes and income groups if they want them, if it's necessary to charge for them then charge rich people much more so as to pay for the poorer people (The origional principle of social welfare) Mothers should get paid for raising children. It's the most important job to raise the next generation who will have to take responsibilty for the world. To farm out this work as is currently done in most western countries is very dangerous. We are already seeing the fruits of this with the number of children suffering from eating disorders, depression etc. and the gang culture which provides "family for youngsters in some neighbourhoods. All of this is disconection, If we had a more caring society these problems would be fewer.
Margaret Atwood is very enlightening in her points of view. I think she is an important figure who is attempting to understand the world we live in.I do believe she is a dying breed of well meaning old school liberals. She is trying to voice good things but she offers no solutions. Such is the error of classic liberalism.
Handmaid's tail in NOT a dystopia. It doesn't fit on a concept. Distopya us void of hope. On the contrary, a novel around multiverse or possible futurs... Canada is, actually, a líder Of the free world. In a way, if you are in lead, doing, how come? USA, Nicolai C in Romania 🇷🇴, forget the dead of night. Not a Dystopia. Best regards, good riddance! ❤
Excellent discussion. Can't get enough of Atwood. What a clear headed mind.
Congrats, madam, thank you so much for your art & 😊insight. 🙏
Knowledge is power. Understanding is wisdom. This is an educational video.
Important discussion... Margaret has some relevant insights about democracy and totalitarianism.
She is a crazy old bag who actually thinks that Star Wars predicted 9/11.

So agree Feminism is a subset of Humanism = important point!
In other words it's a prideful worship of self and leads all to ruin.
Great woman.

Another great episode. Thank you Margaret Atwood and Margaret Hoover!
Wowwhat a iinteresting & lovely mind
As talking heads go, Atwood really is one of the best - she gives great interviews.
She certainly has that “je ne sais quoi” , powerful and understated simultaneously.
In a word, timely. Another great installment.
When fiction becomes nonfiction
In the middle east.
That's because the right decided her book and 1984 were instruction manuals instead of fiction.

The Lives of Others was a fine film. 2014 I believe

Yes - she is Canadian.
Love your work Mama Atwood. I studied your book "Surfacing" in high school for my "A" Level.
Did you notice the blatant anti-Americanism in it? And the fact that some Canadian were becoming Americanized?
So, when does the money come rolling in? Are we waiting for the checks before we take to the streets in great numbers? Or has the lull of the warming pot put too many of us to sleep?
No original Firing Line host , no Ronald Reagan, no bringing down the Berlin Wall.

Condoms and vasectomies (a simple outpatient procedure that's reversible) are widely available. START THERE.

She doesn't have to offer solutions.
No, she's a Canadian. The Canadian point of view seems to have impacted Kamala Harris in a big way; however, it's time she stopped the war-mongering.

USA, Nicolai C in Romania 🇷🇴, forget the dead of night.

Ask Atwood WHAT IS A WOMAN? The hard question they never ask her.
Are you confused dear?
