Wow. In any case, I often wonder if the entire discipine of evo psych has any real existence as anything other than a method for bigots to attempt to justify cultural stereotypes about gender, sexual preference, and occasionally race with exceedingly dubious science.

OHMARGARETATWOODNO.
I got to the sentence about "based in evolutionary science," read it, and wept. As someone who went for a Psych minor and who studied Evolution in college her theory is...well, it's pretty standard "pop evolution" claptrap.

I don't see no stinkin' socks. But I bet you could see mushrooms with the stuff she's smoking.

You forgot to mention the bit where she says "You could tell The Handmaid's Tale from a male point of view. People have mistakenly felt that the women are oppressed..."

WHUT.
