Yes, women entering a stadium to watch a soccer match in #Iran is a step forward.
However, this should be the springboard to continue demanding the misogynist mullahs fulfill ALL rights for Iranian women, including:
-complete gender equality
-an end to all discrimination & ...
Even when a mere 4,000 of the 100,000 tickets in Tehran's Azadi Stadium were allocated to women (meaning just 4%), the regime's vicious security forces attacked one lady who held a sign reading, "#BlueGirl" in memory of #SaharKhodayari.

Female police in Tehran's Azadi Stadium warning women fans:

"Hey lady, if I see you chanting about the #BlueGirl, you'll be thrown out of the stadium!"

Tehran, #Iran
This video from outside Azadi Stadium shows women seeking tickets and being denied.
Many are complaining that authorities provided tickets on a selected basis today's entire scene was a sham.
An image from inside Tehran's Azadi Stadium clearly showing how women linked to Iranian regime were among those allowed into the stadium.
More proof today's whole show was a complete sham.

Why in the world would someone be reading the Quran in a soccer/football stadium?

#Iran
And I realized my criticism of today's show of #Iran's regime allowing only a very limited number of women into Azadi Stadium (less than 4%) is absolutely correct when I see the reaction of Tehran apologist/lobbyist @tparsi's CAPS LOCK reaction.
@tparsi While other #Iran apologists/lobbyists (such as @GEsfandiari, @AssalRad & @BahmanKalbasi) are fanning the mullahs' sham of allocating a mere 4% of the stadium to Iranian women, they will never mention the fact the women were caged in during the game.
