Resolving the Dystopia

While reading this book, many problems stood out to me, but there was one in particular that stood out the most. This problem was how women have no rights. This is due to the problem of sexual abuse; no one was allowed to think or even act out of intimacy in any way, other than to reproduce for other people in the community. The government believed that if women had no rights and their lives were being controlled all the time, then it would help with the desires of humans. In the book, the Commander is talking with Offred and he states, "'Was it really worth it, falling in love? Arranged marriages have always worked out just as well, if not better.'" This shows that people in the community aren't even allowed to fall in love, which goes back to the point that women had no rights. I believe that this needs to be fixed. One thing that would make the society better would be to give women their rights back. I understand that the government wanted to have a perfect and controlled society to ensure that safety of the people, but taking away their rights wasn't the way to do it. I believe that the world will never be perfect and it has never been perfect, but to make the society a fair and functioning society, we first need to ensure stability. To do this, I believe that there should be no discrimination, less crime, and everyone should mind their own business. This would ensure stability because everyone would be more focused on themselves rather than on other people. This would mean that no one would be picked on or pointed out for their appearance and people wouldn't be worried about crime as much.
