A growing network of online communities known collectively as the “manosphere” is emerging as a serious threat to gender equality, as toxic digital spaces increasingly influence real-world attitudes, behaviours, and policies, the UN agency dedicated to ending gender discrimination has warned.

Like another comment stated about Germany, even in Italy medicine faculties have a majority of women today as well.

I agree that in general teacher jobs are not glamorous or high-paying, but it's still a very important role in society and we can still discuss how it's a problem that there is an effective (social, mostly) barrier for males accessing (lower level) education jobs.

I do believe that this is essentially another symptom of a wider problem related to gender roles.

I do believe that this is essentially another symptom of a wider problem related to gender roles.

Certainly agree with you there and I really appreciate your nuanced take.

I think many miss the greater overarching message that forcing gender roles only serves to hold us back as a human race.
