Handmaid's V

I think it is interesting how the Handmaids value such ceremonies as the prayvaganza to communicate with one another.
It was also interesting how the commander took her "out"
The commander says that Gilead is good becaue it prevents women from getting beaten, work if they don't want to, and their husbands runnig out on them.
It is ironic that the nuns are either sent to the colonies or can convert for not having sex and they used to be looked up to for that.
It also seems that Gilead separates the virgins and the handmaids from the whores.
