Women are classified as a minority group because they are socially and politically disadvantaged. They have little representation in government and business, and are more likely to face abuse, rape, and molestation, as well as workplace harassment and discrimination. This is evidenced by sociologists' work, such as both national and international surveys and studies. There is also common sense evidence. Try Googling "women jokes" or "rape jokes" and you'll see what I'm talking about
Because women are discriminated against based on their sex Hope this helps :)
Women sociologically constitute a social category rather then a group.
Gender Group
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.

One minority group in the US is the African American community, who have historically faced systemic racism and discrimination. Other minority groups in the US include Hispanic/Latino Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, and LGBTQ+ individuals.
Sociologists often refer to women as a minority group due to their historical and current social, economic, and political marginalization compared to men. Women have faced discrimination and unequal treatment in various aspects of society, leading to their classification as a disadvantaged group. This perspective helps to illuminate and address the systemic inequalities and power dynamics that affect women's experiences.
The term minority group refers to any religious or ethnic group that is in a minority in a wider society.
