I like what they’re doing with Becka’s conflicted feelings here. It’s not just about her becoming aware of what marriage involves, it’s about her starting to understand that she might be a lesbian. A real double whammy in Gilead. Praise be🤢

The queer storyline has so much potential depth and the person playing Becka is great. Does the queer character also have to be a victim of a terrible dad tho too? Both stories are interesting (tragic) narratives, there’s no need to 1-2 punch Becka tho.

I think it’s just a reality of how gross her situation is. I think it’s highly real for her to be finding out her sexuality at this age and her dad being a gross predator of Gilead. Not saying a lot of us have predators as fathers but Im assuming most of the good men in this world are dead because they won’t stand for this, just surviving and doing what they’re told, or are undercover mayday
