Badges and Badges

The Handmaid's Tale, is an eye opener, but what doesn't seem to surprise me, is that we have been reading numerous "Tales" of women being oppressed all around the world. Women have to make a badge and wear it too. They have to mark their "S's" through and through, meaning that not only are they enduring hard labor and oppression, but they are also looked down upon for what they seem to be forced into doing. The voice of the women seems to be drowned out, and at times it seems like it's finally giving in, more though, it seems to me as if they keep pushing for what is just, they adjust to the music and tune their voice down another step (So they can hit that note that the oppressor wept).
The body is a tempting tool, an argument on what to do. We all know there's a truth to truth, so I make my badge and sell it, too. The oppressor of women, believe they have found the missing link, they find pleasure with heads of women inside a kitchen sink (oh please, please, scrub until you cannot scrub), thats definitely the missing link.
So what's a woman or girl to do? Men have turned into an epic flu, it seems are women a myth, a stepping stool. There in always implied expectations as to what has to be done and what is expected. Women seem to adjust to any circumstance that is given, they have been labeled by society ( particularly men). It's demeaning and embarrassing when we put women down for being a women.
