    I think this is particularly important to overcome in the sphere of early education. Conservative women are massively over represented in early childhood education and I believe that this contributes significantly to the unnecessarily gendered expectations placed on young boys at an instrumental time in their development.

      100% this. One of things I’m greatful for is that my son has a male teacher this year.

      It is really important to encourage diversity in what are currently female dominated areas. Doing so will not only help with the gender pay gap, but will also help vehicle a healthier masculinity as a role model for up and coming generations.

    I’ve wondered why more young men aren’t nurses. That can be a very lucrative career, albeit also very demanding. And it would address the nursing shortage.
