Today it's 100 years since feminists in England banned women from playing football


 Today Peter Klevius announces his groundbreaking book Born to Play a Sport of Nature which analyses the history of English and Swedish female football



The drawing I did in 1979. Only the football is added. The drawing is called 'Woman' but could also have been named 'sex segregation'. It tries to express the development and forgotten pain from below through fire up to the crown of freedom, while entangled in religion and a DNA like steel ladder with rivets, symbolizing both imprisonment as well as a way up and out. I used it in many exhibitions and with different coloring, incl. photographics/solarization in 1979 and the early 1980s.

 The book is guided by the anti-fascist Universal Human Rights declaration from 1948 which clearly states (Art. 2) that women ought not to be segrageted when it comes to Human Rights.

Mary Scharlieb, racist* feminist* top physician and gynaecologist (1921): ‘Female football is an embarrassing, shameful and disgracing activity, especially unsuitable for women.’

* According to Wikipedia 2021.

England FA ban 5 December 1921: ‘Complaints have been made as to football being played by women, the Council feel impelled to express their strong opinion that the game of football is quite unsuitable for females and ought not to be encouraged.‘

Peter Klevius agrees: The out of Africa myth materially rests on "ambiguous pieces of fossils that fit in a shoe-box - together with a decent pair of shoes"*.

Because Peter Klevius - whose EMAH solved* "consciousness, the biggest mystery ever" 1990-94* - can't get the Nobel prize due to "anonymity" and "islamophobia" (i.e. defense of Human Rights) it should be given to the craniopagus twins Krista and Tatiana Hogan (born 2006) who proved him right!
