yes, utterly. tldr the premise is that only a handful of women remain fertile, they are subjugated as sex slaves to le ebin "elite" as enslaved surrogates, basically. the insemination is ritualised with the wealthy infertile wives holding the handmaids down while the wealthy husbands plough them. the whole thing is just a smut fantasy. in reality, men would simp hard for the last few remaining fertile women, they'd be protected and venerated. at worst they'd be treated like royal hostages in the 17th century conception of the term. i hope every kid gets to read it so they can learn to point out what utter bollocks looks like
