Can any writers or journalists explain what the purpose is of the 2nd line in this article? What is the significance that there are serveral women amoungst the victims when the headline states 99 people died?
Several women are among the victims, who all worked on tea plantations in Assam state.

Give.
It.
A.
Rest.
It is believed that several women may be among the victims of this thread.
Is it possible that local culture suggests women don't drink alcohol?
I'll stick my neck out here, but I get his point.
Edit: Or her/trans/pans point

I recall Fiona Philips on telly one morning talking about a plane crash - 'lets hope there's no Brits among the dead'
Oaft.
It's a valid point, not sure I'd bother making it though.
I imagine that there is an element on man bites dog. I wouldn’t be surprised if the vast majority of victims of this type of incident are men. I probably think that because I’ve read quite a lot that makes me think that there are a lot of stupid men in the world. Too much time on here maybe 😊
I found this graphic online

Maybe backs up my theory that it's more unusual for women to be drinking alcohol and it's therefore highlighted in this report/headline?
Keep your context and understanding to yourself, if the OP wants to feel that he is being teated less fairly than his fellow tea pickers, then let him.
We really must get a hold of this media narrative that is 100% centred around women, I mean it will take years to break the strangle hold they have on the media and society. We should be out burning our boxer shorts in the street.
It's only a guess. Might be completely wrong. In any case, the OP had a genuine question that I might have had myself if I'd read the linked article. Maybe the author of the article should have included an explanation.

What?
Time served news journalist here.
That is an odd inclusion on the face of it and would certainly have been questioned by myself if sub-editing.
I thought the same thing as scotroutes and his further research does appear to back that theory up, but it should really have been explained in the story (if that is the case).
Does that satisfy your curiosity OP?
It was a genuine question, just looking for some insight to the lines purpose, from those that write. That's all. I have a class next week and thought about the article for a particular talking point.
No need for anyone to get upset.
Thanks scotroutes and chakaping, the ratios there make sense.
Sometimes it's important to differentiate:

Hope that helps with your class.

They may have been engaged in a bit of you-know-what.

You're being ****ed by the patriarchy rene.
Ironically.
Not sure if this is a stealth approach to try redpill by drip feed STW or what. But just watch the movie, the reasons are explained.
