No, minority doesn't mean that. The phrase you want is disenfranchised groups.

Merriam-Webster disagrees with you. People have referred to women as a political minority despite their numerical majority for a very long time.

Are "political minority" and "minority" somehow indistinguishable? Why pretend like one automatically means the other?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Women are undeniably a minority when it comes to being represented in politics/media in general. It's only in recent history that women have had any meaningful presence in terms of representation in those regards.

They're a minority in terms of representation because of said disenfranchisement.
