The glass escalator effect has intersectional dimensions beyond gender.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The glass escalator effect refers to the phenomenon where men in female-dominated professions (such as teaching or nursing) are more likely to be promoted and earn higher salaries than their female colleagues. While it is often discussed in relation to gender, it has intersectional dimensions beyond gender, including race, sexuality, and ability. Men who belong to dominant racial groups or who are heterosexual may experience an even greater glass escalator effect than their female or queer peers. Similarly, men with disabilities may not experience the glass escalator effect at all, as they may face other forms of discrimination that prevent them from advancing in their careers.
