Listen to the 'Bad Feminists'

Was it only a year ago that Margaret Atwood was the avatar for feminist resistance? That’s when the TV adaptation of her "Handmaid’s Tale" was widely praised for being “unexpectedly timely” (and I poked gentle fun at the notion).

But oh, how time does fly these days. Suddenly Atwood is defending herself from the charge of being a “bad feminist” because she suggested that railroading the accused out of their jobs without any semblance of due process was not, in the end, apt to be a net social improvement.
