Am I the only one whose eyes notice only 4 women at the NATO meeting?

I am a very visual person and whenever I see a photo of leaders (political, financial, spiritual) I always notice how obvious the lack of women is. I always wonder if an alien came to Earth and saw these groups they would think that 90% of Earthlings are white men. And this is 2022. One step forward, one step back?

I am 59 years old and I have realized that the more things change the more they stay the same. Very depressing.
