What’s Worse — Glass Ceilings or Glass Cellars?

Apex fallacy. Glass cellar. Feminine imperative. All of these, he argued, are contributing to a “war on men” in the workplace. This was an issue I’d asked about in my essay called “The Silent Sex” in the March issue of HBR. The apex fallacy is the idea that we use the most visible members of a group to make generalizations about the entire group; i.e. we see prominent men at the top of the pyramid and think all men are doing well, when, in fact, there are a great many at the bottom of the pyramid too. The glass cellar refers to that lowest tier of hazardous or poorly paid jobs (think firefighters, truckers, lumberjacks, coal miners and construction workers) that are mostly held by men.

How is aircraft pilot the third most dangerous job? Aren’t airplanes like one of the safest things in the world? (I know commercial airplanes are the safest way to travel)

I guess I’m confused. Wouldn’t the 53% of workplace fatalities over all US jobs being male indicate that the other 47% is female? How is this possible when all of the most lethal jobs are showing an overwhelming majority of male deaths?
