I happened to see that scene from The Handmaid's Tale where the boss walks in and apologetically fires all of the women in the office, and it probably says something not-great about me and/or society that *that* scene was somehow the one that shook me as much as any - it felt very close to home, easy to imagine, and the feeling of shame and powerlessness of that moment is very easy to access.
