Christine Williams (1992) coined the term “glass escalator” to describe this phenomenon. She states that “many men that perceived their token status as males in predominantly-female occupations” were thought to have the advantage in the hiring process. The qualifications and skills that a women of color presents to its employer is often times suppressed by irrational discrimination, in that there is no true justification as to why the behavior seems to be the way it is. This appears to be the case because of the reinforced biases that are embedded within the culture we live
