There's a lot of Men-in-Teaching advocacy, in part because its thought having male teachers tends to be beneficial for male students[1].
I think stuff like that is the main reason to be worried about gender imbalances. A 40-60 imbalance probably isn't a big deal, but once you get to like, 90-10 or worse, as is the case with early education, you start to get a bunch of secondary social problems. Kids who associate learning as a woman only thing, or the culture around engineering or software becoming "boys clubs" that become uncomfortable for the women who do want to work in those fields

- mike_hearn 2y agoYour link isn't men-in-teaching advocacy, it's specifically about: > adding 1,000 male teachers of color into the teacher pipeline White men need not apply. If they were actually trying to solve a gender imbalance they wouldn't impose that criteria.
