🎯 THE REAL GOAL:
When these women inevitably fail or face backlash, it "proves" women can't lead. It's the ultimate gaslighting—using women to discredit women's competence.

This isn't incompetence. It's strategy. And it's working.

What I really want to know is which woman shall eventually be scapegoated for this clusterfuck?
Rachel Reeves,
Yvette Cooper,
Anya Rayner?

The party would like it to be Zara Sultana, Dianne Abbot or Kemi Badenoch. But that's proper a spin too far.

My money's on Reeves.

#Klingbeil agiert taktisch berechnend und rücksichtslos: Er nominiert eine Kandidatin, die er für nicht durchsetzbar hält, um sich später moralisch zu profilieren. Opportunistische Instrumentalisierung einer Person für eigene politische Zwecke ist schäbig und sollte Konsequenzen haben. #GlassCliff

Labor women make history by overtaking men in cabinet. So is the job done? The Labor federal government will be the most diverse in history, driven by the influx of women members who outnumber the men in both caucus and cabinet.

I’ve been whanging on for decades about gender equality and how diversity in leadership = better governance. Will this increased parliamentary representation solve the old white dude problem? Dunno. Hope so. 🤷🏻‍♀️💜💚 #SmashThePatriarchy #GlassCliff #Diversity

Prominent men in failing organisations always put a woman at the top of the #glasscliff at a time like this. Then they can say ‘see we gave women a go & it didn’t work.’

IOC presidential election: Kirsty Coventry first woman to be elected president Zimbabwe's sports minister Kirsty Coventry is elected as the new IOC president, becoming the first woman and first African to hold the role.

I am shocked (positively) that the IOC voted for Kirsty Coventry to lead them! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympi... Absolutely, until last week, I didn't dare hope that this patriarchy would fall. Let's hope it's not a #GlassCliff Come on, Coventry!

When women or underrepresented racial groups are put into a #ceo position when the company is failing (peep #boeing), we call this the #glasscliff. Does anyone know what we call blaming someone after they retire?

Thanks again for underlining, highlighting, and bolding the ways that the #GlassCliff effect plays out.

Why struggling companies promote women: the glass cliff, explained When women reach the upper ranks of power, they’re put into precarious positions, meaning there’s a greater risk for them to fall.

I grant that no logic exists in DJT’s cabinet picks, but is he setting up Linda McMahon to fail? American schools are not the WWE, and letting her flounder then blaming her for the failure of the whole system would be yet another smackdown of Vince McMahon. #glasscliff
