| [Another term is the glass cliff, which describes a situation in which a person, particularly a] woman, has been promoted into a risky, difficult job where the chances of failure are higher.
There is also a sometimes-used term glass floor which describes the theory that some factor both limits a group’s (often women’s) progress but also limits their numbers in situations like, say, imprisonment and the disproportionate numbers of male inmates. Biological factors are often quoted for these, although the practice is contentious. This term is also sometimes used to describe the fact that men almost always occupy the least pleasant jobs in a society—sewage workers, miners, street cleaners, refuse workers, etc. |
