Twitter mansplaining

There’s not enough facepalm in the world for the guy who decided to mansplain The Handmaid’s Tale to Margaret Atwood

Women’s rights are very much a key issue in the US election, with Donald Trump having boasted that he overturned Roe v Wade – the legislation that enshrined the right to reproductive healthcare in the US – which he did by loading the Supreme Court with right-wing judges.

Award-winning cartoonist Mike Luckovich captured what the election means for women’s rights by channelling Margaret Atwood‘s brilliant dystopian novel, The Handmaid’s Tale.

Like all good political cartoons, it spoke volumes.

As a testament to just how good it was, Margaret Atwood herself shared the image.

There were, of course, many appreciative responses.

The ones from Trump supporters, however, were …different.

delusional

@cat_cans
So glad they can finally break the chains of this Biden administration and get Trump back.

One now-deleted reply was so special, it instantly entered the running for most screengrabbed post of the month. And we’re still in week one.

People weren’t sure whether to laugh or cry.
