The glass ceiling not only exists as the inequalities at high levels, but the increase in discrimination as a person moves up the hierarchy. For example, two females, high in position recognized, although they surpassed some of the men and overcame the barrier, they face similar problems at high position: “’at first, I didn’t notice any problem, but as I get more senior I constantly feel that I am not treated as seriously by male peers. I am paid less in the partnership, my concerns are dismissed as emotional, etc.” ( Cotter, Hermen, Ovadia, and Vanneman). Sadly, women still do not receive equal treatment.
In the article, “Move Over Boys”, by Sara Maratta, she argues that women have very limited roles in the sports industry, and that the lack of gender equality is present because of the preexisting stereotypes about women’s involvement in sports. According to Maratta “Female athletes are just as capable and accomplished as the men, yet fans do not give them the chance to prove that they deserve to be admired and followed” (Maratta 539). Maratta's point is that our society depreciates women in sports, because we have the misconception that men are suppose to be better than women in everything they do. Maratta also claims that female athletes must look feminine at all times to be acknowledged in the sports industry (Maratta 539). In other words,
These positions give each a different experience and perceptions in life and society. Men have gained political power within society and have used this to suppress women’s ideas and thoughts from achieving public acknowledgment (Muted Group Theory). Due to the male-bias language, women have to convert their thoughts, experiences, and meanings into male language for them to be heard and acknowledged. Due to these assumptions, women have a hard time expressing themselves and making their voices heard in society. Women can understand men when they are expressing themselves, but men cannot comprehend women, which frustration for women because they are not being understood in the way they would like.
Women’s rights and the way they live has changed greatly over the course of time. Back in the day, women did not have equal rights to men and they had to face many challenges in order to receive the jobs they wanted. Nowadays, women can get the same jobs as men and their power is much more appreciated. The 1930’s affected women in a positive way over time as they tried to work their way up in government positions, obtain more profitable jobs, and help provide for their families; but they still had a long ways to go getting equal rights to men.
The first argument is that everyone believes the truth to be what they’re told is true and what they’re used to as it seems almost paradoxical to question it or study it seriously and objectively, one such thing people believe to be the truth is that women are inferior to men. The second argument argues that as women have never been in power before, it is only because of this that men believe that women are inferior and would be incapable of holding power as they are regarded as the weaker sex. This in effect makes women themselves believe that they would not be successful leaders and instead they bow down to the opinion of men about themselves. The third argument presented is that the past has aided to the faulty opinion that the sexes are not equal. In the past when both men and women were considered equal, the women began to become weak due to the aftermath of childbirth and so they spent their time more inside taking care of the children.
If you manage to pay close attention, then you might notice that not one of the leaders is a women. That is what first leads the readers to come up with the assumption that men and women are not actually viewed as equals in Huxley's Brave New World.
She also focuses on the absence of ambition among females in the labor pool and why women in today 's culture are fearful of being ambitions. Factors that cause a so called "leadership ambition gap" are discussed along with why women feel devalued within a professional
“Women in the workplace using the stereotypes surrounding motherhood as some of their primary defining characteristics. Men who work outside the home for pay may also be fathers, but no stereotypes prompt employers to fear that men’s parental roles threaten their productivity” (Kennelly, 172). Single mothers get stereotyped as always being late and having to be absent from work. They are also stereotyped as unable to do things due to the fact that they are women. Therefore, they receive discrimination for being single mothers as well as, the simple fact that they are women.

Even in positions of power, women are perceived as inadequate, as “there’s an attitude that women don’t make good leaders” (Poole). The author appears to include bias in his editorial by using the United States almost as an authoritative body on social progression when he states that “even in the United States, around 18 percent of people agreed”(Poole) with the statement that men are better leaders than women. The inclusion of women in politics appears to be a marker of progression in a country to Poole as he explains that Pakistan has a greater percentage of females in leadership positions than the United States. He continues with “a law that requires 17 percent of its (Pakistan’s National
Advances are Being Made The gender divide has been around since man and woman walked the earth. Women have always had to fight to be equal with men.
