The relationship between men and women in the Gilead novel is complex and disturbing. Men are the enforcers of the oppressive system. They are the ones who create and uphold the rules that subjugate women. However, not all men are fully in support of this system. Some may have internal conflicts. Women, though oppressed, show various forms of resistance. They find small ways to rebel against the system that dehumanizes them, like Offred's quiet acts of defiance.
In the Gilead novel, men generally hold more power and privilege. They are in positions of authority in the theocratic regime. For example, the Commanders have significant control over society. Women, on the other hand, are severely restricted. Handmaids are reduced to vessels for reproduction, losing their basic rights like freedom of speech and movement. This contrast shows the extreme gender inequality in Gilead.
