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.

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 🙃

Very happy to be the first one to snag this as they finally added this at the Berlin library.

Luke!! Yeah, I find it quite engaging written! Also chilling to be reading this in Berlin. I read your review last night and how you were talking about requesting books, and wanted to circle back there and tell you that I did request this at my library and thus I am the first one reading it here 😅 excitedly
Haha, glorious! Glad you took action, hope it has a long and appreciated life in the stacks over there.
Hope so! I don't think I was the only one who clicked 'notify me' 🤞🤞
