They constitute 51% of the world for goodness sake! If they are oppressed or whatever, then why aren't they considered something other than a 'minority'?

I agree oppression and being a minority are two different things. I don't know who you can ask for a serious answers to this though.

Women are neither a minority nor are they considered a minority. Who thinks this??
I think you have misunderstood the word minority - simply means smaller number or part. As you say above, women constitute 51% of the world's population, which places them in the majority.

Every ONE is a minority. If I can single my self out of the ALL.
The cultural expectation of the majority is a white male...Why? Because it can reflect a beautiful statistical data base against your "minority" When really in fact you are basing your "minority" off of what ever is left over. It's really just mumbo jumbo statistical-political BS. Saying women make less money then men...is just loaded with BS, but also you can't deny entirely some real issues that do come up.

you tell me how you can ask a question like that when women are not a minority! women can do anything a man can do and more..according to the latest stats..women are fastly becoming the bread winners in the household. and on top of that..there's the house to keep up plus the children..women are lawyers..doctors..ministers..construction workers..bankers..postal workers,,factory workers,,judges..inventors..scientists..astornauts..and much more and these jobs were strictly '' men's work '' back then. so you tell me why women are considered a minority....
