[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't want men to work with children, step 1 is to remove women from job that don't work with children. [/quote] Good point. All the closeted sexists here who do not want / trust men working with children are reinforcing a belief; a belief they should be honest about; a belief they should think long and hard about. They believe: “working with children is women’s work.” Maybe some of you need to rethink your prejudices.[/quote] +1. In countries that value childcare (Scandinavian countries etc.), childcare workers are more often of both genders. We devalue care work in this country and part of that devaluing is considering it "women's work." I know fabulous male teachers and nurses, so maybe this is on its way out, but I don't think it's reached early childhood education yet. That being said, I have a daughter and wouldn't hire a male babysitter, so I get it. [/quote]
