Outside of the ruling class, things are s***ty for pretty much everyone, regardless of gender, ethnic identity, or religion (ie, blacks and Jews are pretty much stone cold f***ed).

Yeah we would use the Incels to clean up the radioactive parts of the USA. The Military Alpha Jocks rule the USA in the Handmaids Tale.

for chemicals they primarily send old women and subversives like gender traitors. incels could be the drivers, soldiers, non-colony janitors, whatever. men were not sent to the colonies unless they acted out.

In the Colonies, they spend their time cleaning up. Theyre very cleanminded these days. Sometimes its just bodies, after a battle. The ones in city ghettoes are the worst, theyre left around longer, they get rottener. This bunch doesnt like dead bodies lying around, theyre afraid of a plague or something. So the women in the Colonies there do the burning. The other Colonies are worse, though, the toxic dumps and the radiation spills. They figure youve got three years maximum, at those, before your nose falls off and your skin pulls away like rubber gloves. They dont bother to feed you much, or give you protective clothing or anything, its cheaper not to. Anyway theyre mostly people they want to get rid of. They say theres other Colonies, not so bad, where they do agriculture: cotton and tomatoes and all that. But those werent the ones they showed me the movie about.

Its old women, I bet youve been wondering why you havent seen too many of those around any more, and Handmaids whove screwed up their three chances, and incorrigibles like me. Discards, all of us. Theyre sterile, of course. If they arent that way to begin with, they are after theyve been there for a while. When theyre unsure, they do a little operation on you, so there wont be any mistakes. Id say its about a quarter men in the Colonies, too. Not all of those Gender Traitors end up on the Wall.

All of them wear long dresses, like the ones at the Centre, only grey. Women and the men too, judging from the group shots. I guess its supposed to demoralize the men, having to wear a dress.
