Time truly is a flat circle. They did the same thing in 1936 as the hateful lady who wrote some fantasy for children did with Imane Khelif last year 🙃

Sinister to listen to this part of the book in Berlin, describing the vibes on the streets of Berlin in 1936, during the Olympics 🫥🫥

Romania thought about abandoning the Olympics that year, lol, that was a very rare show of a spine! Especially considering what came next and what horrifying shapes fascists took there right after.

They allowed women into the Olympic Games because they were building their own games and it took too much of the spotlight 🙃

Of course, a century ago it was 'imoral' for women to do sports and being on a bike could her their reproductive organs. They just wanted to protect women, guys! All they wanted to do 😅 truly feels like these right-wingers are just replaying old schemes all the time.
