Pernille’s Professional PR Amateur

I included a Wolfsburg women’s football team story in my last of a fantasy trilogy travel quest XaW Files: Beyond Humanity. That story starred Alexandra Popp, whose name fitted in with the pop art theme of searching for the lost Andy Warhol of the greenYgrey world: Andy Wolfhol.

Wolfsburg coat of arms

I also included a Doro Pesch of Warlock story to criticise women’s historic persecution through witchcraft/magick accusations.

Wolfsburg Magic not Magick

Watching some of the women’s European Championships last year, Denmark’s captain Pernille Harder was one of the standout players. So it was like the arrival of a prodigal daughter when I found out at the end of last season that Harder was now playing for Wolfsburg. They reached the final of the European Cup, but lost to Lyon, who’ve won it three years in a row now.

Another standout player at the European Championships was Lieke Martens. So when I named my Fantasy Football team for the 2018 World Cup I chose: 2 Lieke Pernille, with a few wordplay meanings to play with.

Only afterwards did I look up Pernille Harder on Wikipedia, and found she is in a relationship with fellow female footballer, Magdalena Erikkson.

My Feminism ‘Beyond Humanity’

Those who think I’ve just been supporting women such as Popp, Pesch and Harder for my own selfish reasons would probably think I’d be horrified at finding that out, but in fact I’m very happy for them, and hope they’re relationship remains happy forever.

Moreover, I called my main fantasy team for the next Premier League season PerNILle 10is Love, wordplaying love standing for nil in tennis scoring.

So if women have been put off supporting me or buying my books by people who claim anything other than the greenYgrey years were supportive of women, then they were misled.

Pernille would have been an ideal woman for me, but the next best thing to being with her, is to think that she is happy… especially at Wolfsburg!

That might sound ‘creepy’ to those who only base relationships on sex, power and money, but like I said in the greenYgrey years, they were an attempt to form a ‘higher form of love’, inspired by my years in the rave/clubbing scene, and as a reaction to seemingly more and more grooming… in dear ol’ Blighty at least!

I always said I did it unconditionally, and that’s the way I still feel, but now after a decade I’m probably going to move onto something else, unless there’s a lot more positive activity in the near future.
