I think it's called a "double minority", but being a woman isn't really a minority tho so I don't know if theres a better term than that.
I feel bad for people who are black, lesbian, neurodivergent, and trans-woman... like that's a quadruple minority.
The term is "intersectionality". Conservatives really hated the term before they went all popeyed over "woke".
It depends on the context. In a Victoria’s Secret fashion show? Yeah, probably not the minority. In a tech role, which women are systemically harassed and bullied out of pursuing? Yeah, she might be a minority.
They certainly are in computer science
That's not what minority means in the sociological context. Volume is mathematical. Poor people are a minority and there's more of them than the 1%. Being a minority is about lack of power, prestige and property. And intersectionality is the more formal term, but 'double minority' gets the point across.
