Yeah it's not serious news for serious people. It's click bait. Not as transparent as your example perhaps, but not much different.

If the article is clickbate then it should be easy to respond to the serious points (for serious people) that:-

Saudi Arabia’s 2022 Personal Status Law, creates gender-based discrimination in

marriage,
divorce,
child custody,
inheritance.

Saudi Arabia’s authorities supress freedom of expression including expressing support (ie tweeting about) for women’s rights.

Saudi Arabia must demonstrate its commitment through concrete actions domestically.
