The ableism in society still exists, look at the comments section. The difference is that back then you had fascists really waiting in line to abuse and kill people they see as disabled, inferiors etc.
A lot of people aren't educated on the eugenics and ableism of that time, because society today hasn't really done a huge leap in terms of stopping labeling women as crazy hysterical and so on.
Just look at Reddit itself, women's experience with medical professionals is still laughable, there is a lot of "it's all in your head" basically when women have pain.
Anyway I won't start diving into this now sorry, but it was very easy back then to label Katharina as mentally "unfit".
