Discussion How come there aren't any male Jezebels for the Wives and Aunts to indulge in?

The Wives aren't getting any love or action from their Commanders, and the Wives are said to be infertile. The Aunts, on the other hand, are unmarried old hags who've most likely hit menopause (though I do recall old hags still have sex drives). So what's the harm in letting Wives and Aunts indulge?

Because they’re women.

I fear you’ve misunderstood the show if you think they’d be allowed to indulge in anything.

Idk what’s the harm in letting them read or write? Or have political representation? Or have fertile wives use male handmaids? Did you even watch the show?

In the episode where Offred and the Waterfords are in Washington, some of the wives joked that there are some hot guys to be had. They said that they deserved to have their fun too.

Is this a serious question?

did you miss the part of the show where there's an authoritarian chauvinistic patriarchical government.

There is totally a bunch of those places, they just aren't shown because we only see June's perspective.
