This is literally the only news article I have seen about The G7 Ministerial Meeting on Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment, and guess what? It's about a man being there.

You're making a pretty good point. These conferences don't really DO anything. They're mostly box ticking and networking. And photo ops.

Lol, indeed!

The Times could have done more to educate, like at least listing the names of the women, instead of talking only about the man there.

It's horribly ironic and hypocritical.
