This is something that a differential feminism approach would not fix, because then it would still lead people to believe men and women are not equal. So that is why I believe the best approach to end sexism is by taking an equality feminism

Hence, she said it will be impossible to take out ‘gender’ from the political and cultural meeting point in which it is always produced and maintained” (Butler 1999:06). She pointed out that the political assumption that there must be a general fundamental principle or stand point for feminism, one which must be found in an identity assumed to exist in every culture and situation, often goes along with the notion that the oppression of women has some particular form discernible in the general or hegemonic structure of patriarchy or male domination. Moreover, gender is not a generalized topic and the ideology of universal patriarchy has been criticized by so many for not stating the issue of gender suppression in accordance to it cultural context in which it is found” ( Butler 1999:06). On the other hand, in as much as universal patriarchy may no longer enjoy its position of being generally accepted as before, it is difficult to get rid of the general shared conception of women. There have been so many debates; “is there a feature held in common among ‘women’ that existed before the suppression or do ‘women’ have a bond as a result of their oppression alone?

The Treatment of Women in Literature Since the beginning of time, women have always been considered less than or inferior to men. Although, the treatment of women has improved tremendously and women are seeing more opportunities than ever before, we still have a long way to go. Until recently, the majority of published writers were men and the depiction of women in literature was mainly one sided. No matter what time period or culture, women in literature usually take the back seat to men. The once popular TV drama series, Twin Peaks, which was created in 1990, and Joyce Carol Oates’s short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?,” which was published in 1970, but was probably written in the 50s or 60s, are perfect examples of this.

Before the fall of Gilead, the women in society were free to do as they pleased; however, currently, they are forced to obey strict rules, and must give in to the commanders demands. Through constant flashbacks, the main character Offred remembers the freedoms granted to her under a democratic government, compared to protection granted under a totalitarian society. Atwood compares these differences to warn how life for common people would exist under a totalitarian government if freedom is given up for safety.
