The last line....I feel ill. Suddenly I can't drink my coffee. I used to think those who put forward "The Handmaid's Tale" as a warning were being melodramatic, and definitely hyperbolic....

NOPE.

Agreed. Both, ill (but still sucking down coffee) and knowing that the comparisons to "The Handmaid's Tale" are far, far to accurate.

Check out Louise Erdrich's novel "Future Home of the Living God" a profetic dystopian novel written by a Native American author. She saw it coming!!

How can it not? Even men should be appalled when they see it.

A LOT of men, including me, are furious at what the far right is doing to women. Events like the Million Women March are a good start.

How can it not? It is painfully that this hasn't been the case and is not going to be the case. In fact it is going to get exponentially worse.
