I like your nurse's uniform, guy.
Loving the show so far. I'm interested to see if there will be more flashbacks to the Red Center training. I remember from the book that the women were shown violent pornography and told that this was how women used to be treated and that in Gilead they would be safe and honored as women. Atwood was taking a dig at anti-porn feminists as well as religious zealots and right-wingers in the book. It came out in 1985, which was at the height of the culture war between anti-porn feminists and sex-positive feminists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism_in_culture#Anti-pornography_movement
