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.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Wait fuck I thought you were joking about the part where someone talked about killing Biden's dog. What the fuck is this reality
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.
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.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Women in Shanghai, and some of China’s other biggest cities, are negotiating the fragile terms of public expression at a politically precarious moment.
“I think everyone living in this city seems to have reached this stage that they want to explore more about the power of women,” said Du Wen, the founder of Her, a bar that hosts salon discussions.
“Why are lonely ghosts always female?” one woman recently asked, referring to Chinese literature’s depiction of homeless women after death.
Stories have circulated widely online of women being physically maimed or brutally murdered for trying to leave their husbands, or savagely beaten for resisting unwanted attention from men.
Instead she described her bookstore as “woman-themed.” When she opened it in 2020, the store was a sprawling space with nooks to foster private conversations and six study rooms named after famous female authors like Simone de Beauvoir.
Ms. Wang recently moved Xin Chao Bookstore into Shanghai Book City, a famous store with large atriums and long columns of bookcases.
