Thinking of how specifically 1993 was that bit in The Giver where when adult roles are assigned some of the girls are to be relatively pampered while they bear a few pregnancies and then go in the general labor pool
One, in that the measured, proscribed regularity is a sideways reference to contemporary Chinese “one-child” policy
And two, how it casts reproduction as a matter exclusively for lower-class women, who are seen from the narration’s point of view as kind of pathetic for being okay with this life purpose.
This was the decade of the Ricki Lake/Sally Jessie Raphael/Jerry Springer “daytime talk” freak shows, remember
