Women are not technically a minority group unless they are in fewer numbers in a given situation. For example, for centuries, women could not vote. Men made all the legal decisions and women were not represented, putting their views in the minority. Similarly, in medical research, until recently, most research was done on men, so the diseases that affected women were treated as less important, since a minority of studies used women as the subjects of the research.
