This image, all alone, gets to the heart of the hypocrisy of the ASPL. They cosplay fictional characters, while supporting the societies and cultures that actually do oppress women, and completely lack the self awareness to understand how stupid this looks. The Handmaid's Tale is a fictional book, intended to make a specific point. The plot and characters were intentionally crafted essentially as propaganda, not reality. (I guess the book could have been pointed at the situation in the lower half of the meme, but I doubt it) The ASPL is so incredibly worked up about making sure that 1st world mothers can kill their children at any time for their own inconvenience, that they ignore the oppression that walks the streets of almost every city in the US. They'll fight like hell for abortion (even when it's for things like sex selection or eugenics), but not bother to say a word about cultures that make women second class citizens.
The ASPL would have so much more credibility on things like this if they'd fight to protect the real women on the lower half of the meme, rather than the made up women on the upper half.
We know why they won't fight the real battle, it's because they're scared.
