Women are obviously not a minority in the US, but does this apply if they're a minority in a particular field (such as engineering)?
- Zababa 5y agoMinority is often not used in terms of numbers, but in terms of "privilege scale". In that view, women are less privileged than men, and thus get classified as a minority.
- astura 5y agoIn this case "minority" refers to the sociological definition, not the mathematical definition.
- raxxorrax 5y agoIt should not because sociological definitions are far too indistinct for laws.
