What is the theme in Rape Fantasies by Margaret Atwood?

Gender Roles and stereotypes are themes in the book. Estelle's narration is filled with stereotypes of both men and women. For instance, she describes Chrissy as a receptionist who "looks like one." Atwood relies on the power of the stereotype for readers to envision Chrissy's appearance; the only details readers are given are that she wears lots of makeup, blushes at the thought of discussing rape fantasies, and "looks like she was painted allover with nail polish." Some of the story's humor also lies in stereotypes.
