A new study finds evidence that occupational gender bias has consequences for men who may consider entering healthcare, early education, or domestic fields (HEED). The findings indicate that men avoid HEED careers because they expect discrimination and worry about acceptance and judgment of others. The study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, sheds light on the complexities of occupational gender bias and its societal repercussions.

Bias against men and women aren’t made against and reinforced by members only just of the opposite sex. As you just shown as examples male parents of children can he just if not more discriminatory against other men themselves and it’s just as wrong.
Also, this is still a mostly American problem isn’t it?
yes. American culture is paranoid because of all the sensationalist media that has drummed up the idea that a male pedophile is lurking around every corner to rape your child.
oh and if a female pedophile rapes your child? wow, what a stud he is! how progressive she is for breaking gender norms!
I had male teachers in grammar school, middle school and high school. it’s bizarre for me to think that teaching outside of high school is mostly women.
That part about female pedophiles being accepted is an exaggeration, has no bearing on reality and doesn’t help any cause. Yes, women aren’t treated as guilty as men are for sex crimes against children, but even then this paranoia is spreading against women as well. For example, my coworker told me that she had a neighboring young boy that would go to her farm on occasion and she ended up taking precautions out of fear of being accused and sued, in similar way to what a man would do.
