"Freeforall" is a 1986 dystopian short story by Margaret Atwood, often described as a gender flipped version of her novel The Handmaid's Tale.
Background
Atwood envisioned "Freeforall" as a companion piece to The Handmaid's Tale, published a year prior. Like The Handmaid's Tale, "Freeforall" is set in a dystopian society. Atwood intended this dystopia to evoke responses to the then-widespread AIDS epidemic: "The solution that society has come up with is that you would have to have arranged marriages, and you would have to have sexually pure participants, otherwise everyone would just die."
"Freeforall" was first published on Sept 20, 1986 in the Toronto Stars Life section, as part of a series called "The Family Into 2001." A year later, the story ran in the Canadian anthology series Tesseracts. At her editors' request, she included a new version of "Freeforall," abridged and slightly rewritten, in a 2023 anthology of stories Old Babes in the Wood.
