Episode 25 - Trigger Warning & Spoiler Alert: Mention of r*pe and su!c!de
We're starting off with submissions for "Oral Traditions" all about Mormon Missions today! Then we dive into the main topic, Mormonism VS Gilead (theocratic society in Handmaids Tale). I've gotten a lot of DMs about not being able to watch it because its so triggering or loving it and I wanted to break it down so that you could understand the similarities even if you've never watched Handmaid's Tale or plan on never watching it. Consider me your exmormon vid-Angel on all things Handmaids Tale! There is mention of r*pe and suicide, I don't go into any details of specifics but take care of yourself. I draw parallels with the dystopian narrative of The Handmaid's Tale and Mormonism. I discuss the control over sexuality, reproductive rights, the dynamics of patriarchy, and the societal pressures faced by women in both contexts. This episode culminates in a reflection on the importance of rebellion and self-identity in the face of oppressive structures.
