How many teachers are male vs female? I feel like this is simply a statistic resulting from what each sex does more of professionally.
It would be like saying, "on average an educated man will write at least 8 applications during his lifetime, whereas you're lucky if a woman writes one". Completely ignoring the real problem, men outnumber women 9 to 1.
Probably partly due to the media induced paedophilia paranoia in the UK. (I know a male primary teacher and I heard he had to go through the crap of a girl accusing him of something inappropriate.) I doubt that happens to women often if at all.
