Came across this article titled how more women are joining Chile's mining sector. Their number has grown 40% in the past year!

I'm ambivalent about mining in general, and recognize that this increase in female participation in mining is probably a bad sign for the people of Chile.

But I do think it's good when we break down gender roles in employment, regardless of the industry.

So I'm reading this article trumpeting how great it is that there are more women in mining, and then they post the real numbers. There are 9,500 more women working in mining in Chile in the past 12 months, and that there are 34,400 more men working in mining than there were a year ago.

Female participation is up, and by percentage more than male participation, but in raw numbers, there are more than 3x as many new (awful) mining jobs occupied by men.

Am I crazy? Why is this the way they frame the article? This is from a mining website, which is almost guaranteed to have a conservative viewpoint.
