【Married Women: Men Who Taste Better Than Their Husbands】

The Married Women: Men Who Taste Better Than Their Husbandstiming of Hulu's dystopian show The Handmaid's Talehas been eerily relevant in today's world, so much so that even Hillary Clinton is creeped out.

Clinton referenced the terrifying world of the Handmaids, which Hulu adapted from a classic 1985 Margaret Atwood novel, while delivering a speech at Planned Parenthood's 100th Anniversary Gala on Tuesday. In the speech, Clinton used Atwood's story to highlight an important point about politicians working to cut Planned Parenthood funding and health care that provides access to birth control and abortions.

"I’m not suggesting this dystopian future is around the corner," she said, "But the show has prompted important conversation about women’s rights and autonomy."

"In The Handmaid’s Talewomen's rights are gradually, slowly stripped away," Clinton went on, urging people around the world to fight for the freedom of women. "It’s not too late for us, but we have to encourage the millions of women and men who support Planned Parenthood’s mission to keep fighting."

There's no denying Handmaid'sis full of moments that hit too close to home for women. In a 2012 interview with The Guardian, Atwood clarified that she used real world inspiration to write the book. "I made a rule for myself: I would not include anything that human beings had not already done in some other place or time, or for which the technology did not already exist."

The similarities between the book and the present are so strong that back in March some folks new to the story accused it of being "anti-Trump" and "leftist propaganda" (despite the fact that it was published around 30 years ago).

As of Wednesday, the timely show has officially been renewed for a second season, which means viewers will have more opportunities to explore those troubling real-world comparisons.
