16 men and 3 women

The Guardian has published a photo showing Downing Street staff enjoying drinks in the garden in May 2020 possibly breaching lockdown. This is being disputed and we are told that staff were in fact working.
Setting the lockdown breach aside, I find it very depressing that it looks as though the Downing Street staff comprised of 16 men and possibly 3 women (there are 2 people sitting on the grass, one of whom may be a woman, there is one standing and Carrie Johnson appears to be there.)
It just highlights to me how underrepresented women still are.
I’ve not tried to do a link before, but if it doesn’t work it’s right on the front of the Guardian website.

Depends what field you take
NHS seems to be heavily underrepresented by men

Speaking seriously though, I’ve never come across as many women as men who lean towards being interested in conservative politics. There seem to be a lot more liberal women.
I’m not talking about women married to conservative men etc or women in those circles, but actually those who are politically involved or very interested in policies etc.
