BattyKiara posted:And what is the long term life of a handmaid like? Let's say there is a handmaid who produces a string of babies. Then hits menopause. What happens to her? Unless there is some reward in the future if you serve your time in a red dress, why would any of them even try? Die today, or die after 15 years as a sex slave? Who would not choose die today? You're thinking this with a mind that hasn't been steeping its entire life in an oppressive theocracy. After a certain point, people's conception of morals are going to be completely hosed and the new batch of handmaids buys into the whole sacred duty thing rather than being forced into it.

Halloween Jack posted:It seems pretty pointless to send obedient handmaids off to the colonies when you have all these black-clad soldiers and intelligence agents who want wives. Do they want infertile wives though? (and especially ones who by the hosed up morals of Gilead are probably considered 'damaged goods'?) Seems like a post-menopausal handmaid wouldn't be exactly a coveted position in Gilead.
