Accusations of molestation or being creepy are much greater risks for men considering the field.

    Todays headline in my local community is about a female teacher having sex with a 17 year old boy and then harassing him. These situations happen with both genders. But we have also determined that men are predators and women are victims. So this case will either forgotten or seen as an oddity in a moments notice. Flip the genders and it is "See, men are evil!".

    I imagine a clean dataset like this would be hard to obtain. How many crimes go unreported? How many true accusations are disbelieved?

  It has been this way even before the current climate. I think it’s more a gender roles thing. Women are seen culturally as caretakers and pre-K and K “education” has a significant babysitting/caretaking role.

    > Women are seen culturally as caretakers Depending on the topic of conversation of course. When the topic changes to, say female representation in corporate board rooms, many of the same people will then say women are indistinguishable from men. And they sincerely believe both, And this is why living in Western Society circa 2018 feels like living in an insane asylum.

There is also the current political and business climate that is fundamentally opposed to: public education, university and graduate education, and investment in basic research and long-term outlook/planning. Primary schools are on the front lines of this war and things are about to get very bad with funding.
