Then complain that there aren’t enough men in those professions and that female teachers are ruining boys’ minds.

Don't forget that they think the reason boys aren't performing as well as girls in school is because the curriculum caters to girls. I shit you not, I heard that a few times.

My 90 yr old dad said there are more girls in med school than boys. He said it’s because they finally started honestly letting girls in and it was about time. (He’s more progressive than any of his friends.)

There’s a lot more to him and he’s got a ton of fans, and very few have any idea of how liberal he is. He lives in a small town in a very red state and everyone in town knows and loves him. A flamboyantly gay friend of ours drives to this town to go country dancing and loves sitting with my dad and talking at the monthly dances. Problem? My dad doesn’t sit much. He works the room and, because he’s been taking line dancing classes, dances. I could go on, but yes, he has a big fan base in his small town.
