First off, terrible headline. The “ruled by men” is totally unnecessary and biased.
Second, there are certainly much worse events going on in the world right now. This is hardly the most important.
It’s an interesting article though about how some women feel in China about government policies and how they’re meeting to discuss feminism and women empowerment. It’s disappointing to see that the Chinese government has adopted a similar stance to US Republicans.
Why would you post an article and then criticize it because “there are worse things going on in the world.”
It is an interesting news story. Every post doesn’t need to be about how Trump threatened Palestinian refugees for not killing Biden’s dog.
Oh I wasn’t criticizing it because there’s worse things going on in the world. I was just trying to preempt any “yeah but this isn’t a big deal compared to Gaza”. It’s still an interesting and important news story, which is why I posted it. I’ll just delete that.
Wait fuck I thought you were joking about the part where someone talked about killing Biden’s dog. What the fuck is this reality
First off, terrible headline. The “ruled by men” is totally unnecessary and biased.
From your article:
China’s leader, Xi Jinping, has diminished the role of women at work and in public office. There are no female members of Mr. Xi’s inner circle or the Politburo, the executive policymaking body.
Sounds accurate to me.
Furthermore-
According to China’s National Bureau of Statistics data from 2022, China’s population comprises approximately 689.69 million females and 722.06 million males. Although women represent roughly 48.9 percent of the population, they occupy less than 8 percent of senior leadership positions.

Does it need to be zero percent for you to consider ‘ruled by men’ to be unbiased?
No I agree with you, it is an accurate take, it just feels unnecessary in a headline and a bit biased.
That said, it was probably unnecessary for me to mention too. I tried too hard to preempt criticism in my description. I’ll just delete that and let the article stand for itself. Ironically, I’m doing more editorializing by saying all that.
Edit: As for the actual subject matter of the article, Jesus < 8% representation is low for ~49% of the population. It’s unacceptable.
I hate this headline so much, I just had to come here and say that. It is such self-contradictory nonsense. I have no idea what the story is about, but this headline is terrible.
Does China not have a group for women like Cuba does? It might be a good idea for every patriarchal communist society to have some sort of women focused mass organization, too. And probably an LGBTQ one, too.
