No, minority doesn't mean that. The phrase you want is disenfranchised groups.
Are "political minority" and "minority" somehow indistinguishable? Why pretend like one automatically means the other?
Women are undeniably a minority when it comes to being represented in politics/media in general. It's only in recent history that women have had any meaningful presence in terms of representation in those regards.
They're a minority in terms of representation because of said disenfranchisement.
