No even seems to get that it isn't a coincidence. I believe we are living on the edge of a scenario not far from the fictional future created in The Handmaid's Tale. Women are wearing figurative scarves over the faces in America right now. Soon they will be all the rage in the fashion industry and, not so far into the future (probably near the end of my life) woman will once again become property. The dichotomy of Sex in the City and back to family values in the good ol' USA is really not so much of a mystery to me anymore. Men get what they want....women get it for them. Hillary threatened that future.
