How do male teachers feel and think about working in a dominantly female career?

While reading this paragraph, it actually shocked me a little bit. I feel that the first sentence is true and I agree with it. A stereotypical teacher is usually a female. You usually see females working with young children and young elementary school children. Why is this? Is it because females are more nurturing than males? Does males think that females are more capable of teaching young children? I work with three males and all of them is amazing at what they do. The children really love them and the boys tend to go to them when they want to play catch or tag. Why is this? Is it because the children know the male teacher are little bit more lenient about tackling and rough play? I think we need more male early childhood educators in preschools.

While reading the sentence, "In early childhood care and education our message is often "We are doing such a good job with children; please give us more recognition and resources,"" made me think that being a female educator has been a social norm for so long. Women have felt empowered as teachers and they are good at what they do. I feel that teachers, though, are taken advantage of. They should be making a lot more money and be recognized more, because there would be no doctors, lawyers, or politicians without being taught by teachers. Even as early as three years old teachers give the foundation of learning to each child. This is also why I think teachers feel that they need more recognition in their career and in society. One question that I thought of is, "How do males teachers feel and think about working in a dominantly female career?
