The glass escalator is a phenomenon stating that men in "female" professions such as nursing, teaching or social work encounter advantages in these occupations which tend to enhance their careers (Williams, 1992).

It provides the altering perspective that men benefit in women-dominated occupations, while the concept of the glass ceiling explains the disadvantages women face in men-dominated occupations.

The glass escalator is an example of how norms such as men are rational, dominant, and assertive which are traits often associated with leadership can help men advance in professional settings, but hinder women who display similar traits.

Performative is a concept employed by notable social theorist Judith Butler to explain how gender is something acquired or brought into existence through repetition.

Repeated acts create an illusion of our core selves as gendered and as always having been that way.

Talking about gender as performative can help us to understand that dominant masculinity and femininity are not stable, universal or biologically based.
