This immediately raises several questions:
1) What are the legitimate concerns with only women teaching young children?
2) What is the evidence that men aren't interested in teaching young children? How can it be shown that the effect wasn't caused by discrimination?
3-infinity) Same questions, but with any field dominated by one gender
- watwut 7y ago1.) Role models - little boys mimic men cause little kids are gender obsessed. E.g. little boys won't think of being teachers if not seeing them. 2.) There is huge bias and stigma against boy acting girl-like. So yes, at minimum little boy playing with baby will be mocked more then girl playing with car.
- virtuous_signal 7y agoI believe (1) is circular: "State X is a problem because it tends to keep us in State X" - but why is X a problem in the first place?
- watwut 7y agoCause that was example. The "role model for little boys" is general statement. Plus, general diversity.
