There is no glass ceiling anymore, only a glass floor. Women are "affirmative-actioned" into positions they have not earned, and company performance suffers as a result. The lack of women in high places is a function of their own choices, not of a conspiracy against them.
It does describe the situation with the rise of the bourgeoisie in industrial societies. However in older societies such as Britain things were rather different as "class" was the defining factor. With many women in very powerful positions in society right at its apex. For England of course two Elizabeth s, Two Mary's an Anne and Empress Matilda and Queen Empress Victoria being right at the top, while a number of others being pivotal in the politics of their day from the famous Eleanor of Aquitaine to Henritta of Portugal. A couple deposing their husbands. Poetesses, Playwrites, artists, musicians and patrons and protectors of political careers and offices of state. Like men of their class aristocratic women could "flout convention" . Which is not to say there wasn't a difference but that things were very different from the society that Engels saw being created before his eyes when he came to Manchester. But it is this new industrial society with a huge bourgeoisie, gradually weaking the landed aristocracy and gentry, that is where Mr Golden begins. And of course that society had other differences, depending on sources between a fith and possibly a quarter of those imprisoned were women, for crime was a matter of individual morality, so a woman or man stealing bread was equally bad. It was the mid victorians who actively legislated and made policies for reducing the women in prison, ironically this was when women needed Male guarantors for loans(so they would not be imprisoned for debt). The glass ceiling is of a time where one's birth could not carry one through any doors that might be closed to those of lesser birth. And of course both sexes had to work particularly in agriculture and the home industries pre factories. The poor of both sexes both worked in dangerous and dirty jobs. I live in a mining area and when the good bourgeois ladies got their husbands to ban women working in the pits, there were protests for in the mining villages how else were they to earn a wage ?
Jordan Peterson wiped the floor with a journalist with the same argument. Blew my mind as I had never thought of it. But this is presented in a great visual way.
We’re judging all men based on the few who make it to the top. Similarly poor white children get lumped in with kids of white privilege. So they get the title but none of the perks.
One of the frequent observations from feminists is that women "crowd into" comparatively few occupations. One of the issues that exercises the Swedes is that their economy is one of the most "sex segregated" in the world and getting more so. Research on the countries of the enlarged EU found the more economically developed the more sex segregated. The Swedish researches into this found that women crowded into occupations, specially state funded ones with generous maternity, family friendly leave and options for part time work. Because it suited them. Interestingly their policy solution (pretty unsuccessful) is to insist men take more leave and work less! Needless to say Swedens highly profitable sectors are less than enthusiastic as are the men, maintaining that nation's wealth (And their gender pay gap). Now of course this actually means men engage in a comparatively vast range of occupations, because no modern society could survive if everyone worked in only 6 occupations. I remember many years ago Judgy Bitch blogger imagined if men, rather than just the men in an occupation or company, went on strike. She listed all the things that would stop and not happen. In this country in the most lock down period of lock down, when public services, health services, shops and schools were all but closed still it was the case that 80% of the economy continued to function. No guessing which sex did that and which sex was at greatest risk of catching and even dying. For a brief moment the men of the glass cellar got noticed. Of course now that moment is a memory.
as you know entitled aristocrats, or at least those - feminists of course - who regard themselves as such for they hold to entitlement while crying oppression, NEVER look down, so they never notice the glass floor so can, like statan of old, only envy those higher - oreven only perceived to be higher - than them

I unsuccessfully tried clicking on the part 2 video that appeared at the end. Censored?
