          “Minority” in this context does not mean having a smaller population. Minority means a group of people that have been historically oppressed or persecuted.

          Women are a special kind of minority because even though they make up the majority of population worldwide, they’ve faced oppression for centuries.

          Another example would be white people in South Africa—even though they are a minority as a percent, they still aren’t a minority because they don’t face oppression.
