For those who don't keep up with the nonsense, a big thing in feminism right now is pushing men into "HEAL" (health, education, administration, literacy) careers. I won't pretend to know what the last 2 mean, but in practice they're trying to get men to become nurses and teachers. Nursing is a miserable job, and any man who's interested in healthcare should become a PA or a doctor. He'll get paid better and won't have to worry about coming across as a faggot. I'm actually in favor of more male teachers provided they aren't soy boys because boys need positive male role models. But this kind of crap is why men should avoid teaching like the plague. It's not reasonable to ask men to martyr themselves like this, especially for what teachers get paid. Which of course segues into the pay problem. Women can do those jobs because they can get a husband who earns the real money while she LARPs as a Strong Independent Woman. A man can't support anyone on that kind of salary. Let's also keep in mind that the whole purpose of this scheme is to push men out of STEM so women can steal the good jobs.
Kids aren't stupid, and it didn't take girls long to realise that if the teacher's male, all it takes is one "the teacher touched me" story to end a teacher's career.
Whether it happened or not.
Particularly when, these days, coordinating a group to make accusations of the same man at the same time is trivially easy.
You would have to be insane to want to be a teacher these days.
And the truly galling thing is that the administration is fully against them from the very beginning. One of these little shits can run their mouth and instantly no one is on your side and your whole career is destroyed.
I had a gym teacher in 8th grade who almost got fired (potentially arrested) because he made one of the girls in my class run laps and she accused him of touching her. I and pretty much everyone else actually heard her say it was because she didn't want to run laps, so it didn't go anywhere. But if she'd kept it to herself, he'd have been fucked.

Men, particularly, left teaching for a reason.
