Perhaps this goes under BBC Bias?

From what I can make out Sanna Marin formed a Cabinet of five (which doesn't ring true. In Britain the only time we've had a Cabinet of 5 was in the Second World War. In peacetime Cabinets are 12 or 15 or 20), all five were women. Wikipedia states the Finnish Cabinet has 19 members.

May I also say the wedding picture of the groom smashing his nose against the bride's forehead (while she fends him away) is not particularly smashing patriarchy.

But since then - see the headline. The most oppressed group ever to the fore.

"A year will soon have passed since Finland's new coalition government headed by five women started work. It has dealt efficiently with the coronavirus pandemic, while drafting an ambitious Equality Programme - a programme that states, among other things, that everyone has the right to determine their own gender identity."

""As Finland's new and youngest-ever prime minister, the then 34-year-old Sanna Marin stood smiling broadly, next to the other politicians who would be leading her centre-left coalition government.

They were all women. At the time the photo was released, only one leader of the five-party coalition was over the age of 34."

It was so long I couldn't be bothered to read it all

Besides according to conspiracy theories Finland doesn't exist so this just reptilian propaganda.

I found the title of this article a little strange, considering the part of the article about transpeople is at the bottom of the article. But I'm sure that the BBC wouldn't engage in clickbait tactics like this by using a controversial title... Hmm

You have to reaching pretty far to describe that photo as "the groom smashing his nose against the bride's forehead".

I did laugh at that. You could equally interpret it the other way round, especially considering you don't usually headbut people with your eye and nose.
