A theory put forth by whiny men afraid their position of societal dominance is at risk because some women might get into positions of power. The theory goes that men may be disproportionately represented in higher positions, but for that they're also disproportionately represented in dirty, dangerous work that women, supposedly, don't want to touch (like mining, construction, fire-fighting, soldiering, etc.).
The theory sounds plausible until you look at it for longer than about five seconds. It then falls apart because:
1. Women have been clamouring for dangerous positions like fire-fighting and soldiering for ages now and it is *men* who have been opposing this on a variety of ridiculous grounds.
2. The "glass cellar" only holds true if you selectively ignore traditionally-female occupations such as prostitution which are easily as destructive and dangerous to the practitioner as are traditionally-male occupations like mining and construction.
The "glass cellar" is, in short, a ridiculous piece of whining by a bunch of insecure man-children.

"I can't get out of the glass cellar because management keeps promoting those damned women who actually work and try to get things done."

Get the cellular faux mug.When a couple has interchangeable phones, so you never know which one of them you are talking (texting) to. Telling people that one phone number is theirs and then switching phones with the other person so that no one ever knows how to get ahold of them. Often combined with textersonator tactics, making it nearly impossible to know who you are texting.
So, I thought I was texting Jim last night, but then Sally said it was her phone, and that Sally's phone number was now Jim's....I'm so confused, Jim's a cellphoney.

Get the cellucci mug.Ok I know cellulite is a natural thing that occurs in all women even the thin ones, but man tbh it's a bit off-putting. I don't wanna body shame, but if I had a say, I personally would prefer a girl to cover that using a cream or concealer or smth, anything to hide it. Of course totally up to the girl and I respect their body and wouldn't want to. Sorry.
Me: Tbh im not really into the girl you showed me. Her cellulite is a bit off-putting, no offense.
Tyler: Dude, you realize how shallow that sounds right?
Me: Yea I know, sorry. I'm not like opposed to it or anything, but if imma be 100% truthful I don't like the look of it. Of course I will respect any girl regardless and won't ever complain about it. That would be a shitty thing to do and I would never want a girl to think something is wrong with them
Tyler: Fucking simp.
