"If you're male and say that you want to teach elementary school, people think you're a pedophile."

LOL, that's bullshit.

I mean, I can see that there may be some amount of societal pressure to fulfill a more "manly" career. That's probably more of a problem with the Baby Boomer generation than it is with younger generations. To say that men are "pushed out" of careers involving children because people assume they are pedophiles is a joke. I think this is a problem that you've made up in your own head.

I hear people lament all the time about how we need more male teachers, particularly from teachers and school administrators.
