Iran allows women to watch volleyball - but not football, swimming or wrestling

[Javeed]

Iran is to allow a limited number of women to attend volleyball games as part of a move to lift the ban on female spectators at sporting events, following an international outcry over the jailing of a British-Iranian woman who attempted to watch a match.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...medium=twitter

Progress. One small step for woman, one giant leap for womankind.

You have a skewed definition of progress.

Screw Rohani and everyone in that regime.

I just think women should be in stadiums.

Amen to that. But these olaghs will give you an inch and take away a foot. They'll let women in today, but ban contraceptives the next day etc... So progress is the wrong word. After this tournament they'll ban women again.

A tweetstorm asking the Islamic regime of Iran to let women go to football matches = asking them to turn secular

You do know they have now again been banned for the volleyball matches, right? 500 tickets sold to women, but Islamists threatened and they banned women again.

Our men are not yet ready to have women in our football stadiums

then those men that you are talking about should not be allowed to go and watch football if they are as fucked up as you make it sound out to be. Why should women be punshed because of mens behaviour

Its 90% of the men in Iran if not more, the reason is another long discussion which is cultural and due to the social problems prevalent in society, but i personally would not want any women i know to ever go to Azadi

Than it makes even more sense to ban the men instead of the women.
