If men were a minority group, this would lead to calls for the male community to police itself and report suspicious behaviour to the authorities.

women aren't a minority.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_group

In terms of sociology, economics, and politics, a demographic that takes up the smallest fraction of the population is not necessarily labelled the "minority" if it wields dominant power. In the academic context, the terms "minority" and "majority" are used in terms of hierarchical power structures.

This is why I like the term "marginalised group." But maybe it has its own definition that I'm not using correctly or something

JayDee ,

I don't quite know if I understand your comment.

By 'this' do you mean the meme, the response to the meme, or do you mean the number of SA cases done by men?

Are you drawing parallels to cities calling upon minority communities to police themselves and report suspicious behavior to try and 'solve gang violence'?
