"words deliberately misspelled for comic effect, as in his retort to Dorothy Parker's humorous dictum, ""Men seldom make passes / At girls who wear glasses:"" In this example, the word ""nectacled"" sounds like the phrase ""neck tickled"" when rhymed with the previous line. Sometimes the words rhyme by mispronunciation rather than misspelling, as in: Another typical example of rhyming by combining words occurs in ""The Adventures of Isabel"", when Isabel confronts a witch who threatens to turn her into a toad: Nash often wrote in an exaggerated verse form with pairs of lines that rhyme, but are of dissimilar length"

And I, I cannot force them to look directly in the lens, or make a face"
"their experiences with the glass escalator should be examined. It seems in order to ride the glass escalator one needs to conform to heteronormative appearances and behavior. If they conform they can excel into leadership positions. Those gay men and transmen who do not pass well enough do not get a chance at the glass escalator. Transmen who presented as masculine could receive male benefits after transitioning only if they presented as masculine enough. If they were not masculine enough they might likely face discrimination. Williams concludes that ""Only those who embody the appropriate class-based aesthetic can ride the glass"

A 2007 study found that female news consumers in the United Kingdom were likelier than male ones to accept that the glass cliff exists and is dangerous and unfair to women executives. Female study participants attributed the existence of the glass cliff to a lack of other opportunities for women executives, sexism, and men's in-group favoritism. Male study participants said that women are less suited than men to difficult"
"awareness can hinder cross-sex friendship formation. The barrier between men and women forming cross-sex friendships in the professional workplace is called the ""glass partition"" because of its similarities to the glass ceiling, which prevents women from reaching the top levels of leadership of corporations. The glass partition disadvantages women who work in predominantly male workplaces because women have fewer opportunities for networking. The glass partition results from fearing that friendliness toward a cross-sex friend will be misinterpreted by the friend and by co-workers as romantic or sexual interest, that humor may be perceived as sexual harassment by cross-sex friends, and"
"because it showed people’s ignorance on the definition of sexual harassment; that it is not really about attraction, it is about power and control. You see, the harasser on the street knows that the girl will know better than to react. She has been taught to ignore, especially in our society. If she tries to defend herself, they will say that she is too masculine, or she exaggerates, or they will accuse her of having psychological issues because any ""normal"" girl should be flattered at the attention. She will prefer to ignore and let it pass over so as to"

In the case of one of the pretty faces, it does not even care to look at itself in the glass; the mere ordinary vanity of the ordinary female is lacking. So that to this large extent my theory of the effect of physical charm upon its possessor is discredited. While I am glad to state the fact, I am sorry to remain of the opinion that"

Although such pieces have survived more often than styles emphasizing gem stones and massy gold, which were typically recycled for their materials when fashion changed, the demand from 19th-century collectors greatly exceeded the supply of authentic survivals, and many pieces include much work from that period (see below). For many of the pieces though it is not easy to place the"

They observed that many of the students using their cells walked slower, changed directions more often and weaved more than other students. They also noted that individuals walking in pairs were more likely to notice the clown, simply because they could also rely on their companion to pay attention, and that it is unlikely that the conversation itself was the reason why the cellphones users were less attentive to their surroundings.

"in 1977. Women and men experience different types of mobility within the workplace. Women tend to experience a glass ceiling, an invisible barrier that prevents them from moving up the corporate ladder. Men in jobs traditionally held by women, such as nursing, elementary school teaching, and social work, experience a ""glass escalator"" effect in which they are able to quickly ascend the job hierarchy to become managers and principals. There also tends to be a gender pay gap between men and women, with women earning 77% as much as men. One cause of the gender pay gap may be due"
"Glass ceiling A glass ceiling is a metaphor used to represent an invisible barrier that keeps a given demographic (typically applied to minorities) from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy. The metaphor was first coined by feminists in reference to barriers in the careers of high-achieving women. In the US, the concept is sometimes extended to refer to obstacles hindering the advancement of minority women, as well as minority men. Minority women often find the most difficulty in ""breaking the glass ceiling"" because they lie at the intersection of two historically marginalized groups: women and people of color."
"Removing the glass ceiling from the United States The glass ceiling, in terms of job positions, can be defined as an intangible barrier within a hierarchy that prevents women and minorities from being promoted into upper-level positions. Removing the glass ceiling is the act of taking away this invisible barrier for women and minorities to move up into upper-level positions. In the U.S., only 5% of women are running a Fortune 500 company which is equivalent to twenty-five companies. In the U.S., feminists will use this term excluding minorities including minority men, but this article when referring to the glass"

Additionally, the activities central to most female cliques include gossip and emotional sharing; this behavior visibly increases, revealing female cliques to the outside observer. Male cliques, on the other hand, tend to center around activities that have occurred before the formation of the clique (common examples include basketball and video games), and thus may draw less attention to the appearance of male cliques. Male cliques may have also gone largely unnoticed because they often appear less exclusive toward the"

From the male perspective, a man possesses the gaze because he is a man, whereas a woman has the gaze only when she assumes the male gazer role—when she objectifies others by gazing at them like a man. Eva-Maria Jacobsson supports Paul's description of the ""female gaze"" as ""a mere cross-identification with masculinity"", yet evidence of women's objectification of men—the discrete existence of a ""female gaze""—can be found in the ""boy toy"" ads published in teen magazines, for example, despite Mulvey's contention that ""the gaze"" is"

"women, whereby easier standards for men in attaining leadership positions as well as the fact that men make up the majority of executives results in a higher average of exceptionally skilled women than men in some leader roles. Women tend to feel more excluded from career related and informal interactions with the senior management compared to men. In fact, the term ""glass ceiling"" can be used to describe the hindrance women face in career advancement to top management positions. The tendency of men to dominate women in informal discussion groups has been observed in a number of scenarios including when"
"females are more likely to avoid women that are attractive and exclude them from the group, as these women are interpreted as potential poachers. Ovulating women are also seen as a threat. Research has shown that women subconsciously change their behaviour across their menstrual cycle, such as dressing more provocatively, which is noticed by men. In one study, men rated photos of ovulating (fertile) women as more attractive, compared to photos of women who were in the luteal (infertile) stage of the menstrual cycle. It is suggested that men are therefore more likely to pursue ovulating women, which become potential"

In the long-run of a publicly traded company, there is no significant difference in excess returns between female-led companies and male-led companies.

"Kevin Johnson also argued that women in law enforcement face a glass ceiling, as the percentage who hold the rank of sergeant or higher is far lower. Fear of getting unfair treatment from the male coworkers is a common reason for not trying to reach these higher positions. Since very few women receive guidance in overcoming these obstacles, the National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives (NAWLEE) has been involved since 1995 to guide women into having executive positions and help guide new female officers to reach up to achieving these leadership roles. Women are even less represented in local"

These young women would walk around selling chewing gum to the attendees of the fair. They wore blue dresses, black stockings, and coordinating caps. To many at the time, their dresses were considered short for revealing their ankles. The gum girls were known to flirt with men all around the fairgrounds as a way to sell their gum. An article from The Examiner even advised men that the gum girls would provide them with enjoyable flirtations while they are at"

"shape, the hourglass, is not commonly found. Although current fashion designs have remained relatively untouched, the reality is that women's bodies are changing and the fashion industry's body shape ideals, primarily the hourglass body shape, are uncommon in modern-day women. Recent research indicates that men have a marked preference for women who have the hourglass figure. These studies found that this shape was even more highly preferred than breast size or facial features. While it is true that most men were initially drawn to a woman's cleavage, it was her hips and waist that were in fact what they found"

"male guards, which can result in sexual harassment ranging from discomfort caused by guards watching them during private moments to nonconsensual sexual contact. Male guards often are present while women shower or undress, stripping away the women's right to the privacy of their own bodies. Because women in solitary confinement experience so little human contact, the gaze of their guards is often the only interaction that they have with another person; this can exacerbate the feelings of loss of privacy. Similarly, the clothing the women are required to wear is sexualized and humiliating. In some prisons, women in segregation wear"
"majority of prisoners (or even all) are male, hiring women to watch male prisoners can be seen as problematic. Many actions performed in correctional facilities, such as shower patrol, strip searches, and many other normal prison activities, are seen as limitations for female workers. Since female guards are not allowed to be in contact with nude, male inmates or their genitalia, this can put pressure on effective security. Masturbation, using the bathroom, and changing clothes are public spectacles, because doors are not commonly installed on inmates' bathrooms and rooms. As a result, inmate privacy suffers for it.

After meeting the first inhabitants of this new land (which Van names Herland) the men proceed more cautiously, noting that the girls they met were strong, agile, and completely unafraid. Their caution is warranted because as the men enter the town where the girls disappeared, they become surrounded by a large group of women who march them towards an official looking building. The three men attempt an escape but are swiftly and easily overpowered"
"glass ceiling for African-American men. The glass ceiling metaphor has often been used to describe invisible barriers (""glass"") through which women can see elite positions but cannot reach them (""ceiling""). These barriers prevent large numbers of women and ethnic minorities from obtaining and securing the most powerful, prestigious and highest-grossing jobs in the workforce. Moreover, this effect prevents women from filling high-ranking positions and puts them at a disadvantage as potential candidates for advancement. In 1839, French feminist and author George Sand used a similar phrase, ""une voûte de cristal impénétrable"", in a passage of ""Gabriel"", a never-performed play: ""I"
