Boris Johnson thinks the Women's World Cup could have influenced the Taliban's mindset about women.
He wrote that if he could, he would force the Taliban to watch the final game of the 2023 World Cup on Sunday and realize the "skill, power and talent of women".
In this cup, the Spanish women's national football team overcame the English national team in the final game in Australia with a score of 1-0 to win the championship for the first time in history. The reception of football fans for women's matches in this cup was impressive.
Controversial Tory politician Boris Johnson has become a columnist for the Daily Mail after ending his tenure as Prime Minister and representing the people in Parliament on 2023. He wrote in this newspaper , two days before the final match between Spain and England: "I would tie the Taliban to a choker and make them see the Lions of England to understand that women have skill, strength and talent. »
Some have scoffed at Johnson's suggestion. Women's sports are banned in Afghanistan and the Taliban generally do not have a good relationship with the game of football. At least some officials of this group have lived outside of Afghanistan, where women are successful in other fields besides sports.
Johnson's article does not end with this controversial proposal. In this article, he defended the relations of Western countries with the Taliban, a proposal that was previously proposed by the chairman of the defense committee of the British Parliament and pushed him to the point of being expelled from the chairmanship of this committee.
Johnson added that they will engage with the Taliban if the group at least allows women to go to school and promises to "let women play football again."
Of course, Johnson, unlike Tobias Ellwood, the chairman of the British Defense Committee, has harsh words about the Taliban's policies against women. He wrote: "Bigotry, sexism and the destruction of women's education are the main causes of economic disaster."
