Everything in say, The Handmaid's Tale, has happened to women somewhere before. It's just putting all of these horrors together.

I don't think science fiction fits; it's like a novel about slavery or the Torquemada, but updated.

Now if it was space slavery, or female slaves controlled by nanobots, I'd consider that scifi. The Handmaid's Tale is a dystopian novel based on culture and theology.

Corey Doctorow writes a lot of stuff that’s just contemporary issues pretending to be future, and he’s sci-fi.

Even so, that's not the novels she was talking about. She was talking about Oryx and Crake (and sequels) which is set in a post-apocalyptic world with genetically manipulated creatures.

Sociology is still science. Just because it isn't engineering or military science doesn't stop it being science fiction.
