Maybe because women are, on average, more inclined to working with children? Funny how antifeminists often use the sexual dimorphism argument against feminists, and yet when it can be used against
them, they often ignore it.
Now, I'm not saying men shouldn't be teachers, they really should if they want to - but that doesn't change the fact that women are slightly more cut out for the job. It's the same reason there are more male construction workers - different sexes are suited for different jobs.
I am not meaning to be rude, but please don't bother playing games with me. At no point in anything I have said to you do I say, "All men" or "all women" or, "all boys," or "all girls". To help us to have a constructive discussion, please just accept that I am not a moron, I understand nuance, and can recognise variation within members of a given group.
Whatever the reason for women entering teaching in greater numbers than men, it does not change the fact that teaching is tailored more towards girls than boys.
@NNewt84 Said Or tomboys either. Seriously, has no-one ever heard of tomboys these days? Again, you're making this a gendered issue when it really isn't - at least not to the extent you're making it out to be.
And again, on the gender bell curve, even with young boys being feminised, boys still tend to be more competitive and into 'violent' forms of play than girls.
@NNewt84 Said Implying that
every female teacher is some no-nonsense hard-ass who can't take a joke.
Not at all. It is more the case that teaching is based more around feelings than women being hard a** teachers, and tends more towards co-operative than competitive learning environments. This type of learning tends to favour girls over boys.
@NNewt84 Said Well, you're not the only one. Whenever there's sexism against men, there's always a huge outcry for that too - but everyone's just some special snowflake nowadays, who thinks that only their sex faces discrimination, when in reality, we all face at least a little bit of it.
Yep. People have an amazing ability to think that life is unfairly unfair to them while being much better for others. That is my main criticism of modern feminism, in fact. It tends to be little more than a hateful, racist, sexist and incredibly selfish movement that wrongly thinks being a man is all beer and skittles while women are horrendously oppressed. The truth is more like - no women in human history have been as pampered as women are in westernised countries. The way so many modern feminists bleat, you would think they were living in Saudi Arabia, Africa, much of Asia or the sub continent.
I hardly claim that life for women in the west is perfect, but life is not perfect for men either. Crap happens. We should not expect everything to be nice and fair. We should not expect people to care about our feelings. We should not expect our every whim to be catered to. We should expect people to be at least as self obsessed as we are ourselves. And, we should also try removing our heads from our own sphincters once in a while and think about other people instead of ourselves.
@NNewt84 Said Well, obviously, it
is a problem that we have to solve, but... unbreeding ourselves out of existence? A bit dramatic, don't you think?
No. In western nations now, population demographics makes it quite clear that the west is in serious trouble. In some places in Europe, the average births per woman is around 1.3 - 1.4. 2.1 births is required to just maintain population levels. Within a few generations, the west's numbers will have plummeted.
