I don’t get it. Explanation, anyone?
Margaret Atwood wrote a dystopian novel called the "Handmaids tale" back in 1985.
It was a novel set in the future about a fringe white Christian nationalist group who start to slowly infringe on society until they eventually: stormed the capital, the pentagon and the white house and led a successful coup sparking a civil war and dividing the America into separate countries.
during that time period fertility rates were down so they outlawed abortion and captured and turned any young fertile women into "Handmaids" whos only purpose is to have babies for powerful white Christian nationalist couples...they are dressed in the red and white outfits you see....those are "handmaid" outfits
it's been adapted as a TV series since 2016 and is one of the best critically acclaimed and popular shows on TV. Bgol discussion thread is here
The Handmaid's Tale: the 2nd best thing you’ll watch all year
I tried watching this shit a few years ago. I found it too depressing to get into.

You may hear people mentioning in convos that "America is the new "Gilead" it's the handmaids tale..."they want to turn all women into handmaidens" and That the Trump appointed Supreme Court justice ..Amy comey Barret is the "Handmaiden in charge" Those are all references to this show. and shit seems too close to reality at this point.
so those women were basically trolling Mark robinson dressed as Handmaids since he's got the same views as these white Christo nationalist fascists
