After years of being banned from entering a stadium in my own country, for no crime other than being a woman, this is how I walked in.
This was the World Cup FIFA 2026 between England and Panama but for me, it was beyond that.
You have to be a woman from Iran or Afghanistan to truly understand this emotion.
For whom this simple act, walking into a stadium, moving with joy, showing my hair, sitting next to men, was not just forbidden. I was beaten for it. Imprisoned for it. Humiliated for it. Exiled for it. And even in exile, I became a target for multiple assassination plots.
And now people lecture me: "Don't politicize football."
I have a question: which part of my body hasn't already been politicized by the Islamic Republic? My hair? My voice? My seat in a stadium?
They turned our entire existence into a political battlefield. Every inch of a woman was a crime scene under their law.
And now I'm supposed to just sit back, eat a hot dog, and enjoy the game?
I did enjoy the game. England won. But walking through those gates, that was the real victory.
You drove farmers to suicide, tried to freeze pensioners to death and actively ignored and covered up the rape and torture of thousands of children and young women.
Absolutely no sympathy.
The guy just landed a spacecraft on a comet — one of the most impressive scientific achievements in years.
His reward? A public struggle session because his bowling shirt had scantily clad women on it.
Helen Andrews points out the quiet cost of institutional feminization: HR departments now hunt down any maverick personality and stamp it out.
We’re losing innovators we’ll never even know about, all because someone focused on the shirt instead of the comet.
This is how wokeness actually works.
Have you seen real excellence get punished for something trivial like this?
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump says that EVERY SINGLE AFGHANI brought in under Biden will be RE-EXAMINED
“We are NOT going to put up with assaults on law and order by people who shouldn’t even be in our country!”
“We must now reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan, under Biden, and we must take all necessary measures to ensure the removal of any alien from any country, who does not belong here or add benefit to our country.”
“If they can't love our country, we don't want them.”
Ban the burqa. Ban the niqab. Shut down Sharia courts. Ban cousin marriage. Proscribe Muslim brotherhood. Deport dual national rape gang members.
Start drawing some lines in the sand. This is Britain. This is England. This is not Afghanistan.
