The user shared an image accompanied with an Arabic hashtag, which translates to "advice to women before the World Cup", suggesting women belong in the kitchen during the broadcast of the games.
The tweet, which perpetuates gender-role stereotypes, led to an intense backlash, ultimately leading to the suspension of the user's Twitter account.
