What is the Atwood story doing on the list? The story is creaky, tedious, smug and triumphalist. I don't much care that she seems to despise most of humanity, particularly the male portion. Humanity will do okay without her endorsement. In one instance she describes the mouth of one of her characters as a closed vise. Not much later she uses a slight variation on the same trope to describe the mouth of another person. This is caricature, and not very interesting.
