Discriminatory barrier keeping a certain class of
people out of an upper echelon of American government.
( No, not a "certain class." As the first
female speaker of the house she was specifically talking about women. They were the original victims in the term "glass ceiling." )
Distinguished from a glass ceiling because not only is this class prevented from rising to the next level, they cannot even see what is going on up there.
( LOL NO, not even close. It'
s because there's a shit ton of marble in the capitol building, not because she randomly pulled marble out of her
ass to use as an example of an opaque material. )
GJ UD for putting an obviously ignorant interpretation as the
definition of the day! DURRRRRRR
"When my colleagues elect me as speaker on
January 4, we will not just break through a glass ceiling, we will break through a marble ceiling." -
