Eine aktuelle Studie legt nahe, dass junge Männer verzerrte Ansichten darüber haben, wie groß das Interesse anderer Männer an frühkindlichen Bildungs- und Betreuungsberufen ist. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Stereotypen der sexuellen Orientierung und missverstandene Überzeugungen von Gleichaltrigen den Mangel an Männern in Betreuungsfunktionen verstärken.
How sexual orientation stereotypes keep men out of early childhood education

Im in my early 30’s and I’m male. I didn’t go to school for it or really have any professional experience being a caregiver. But I have been my Grandmothers caregiver for over 5 years now. She is 86 and has vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s. I’ve noticed a slight stigma when we meet people working in healthcare who arnt familiar with our situation. But no horror stories, just maybe an odd look and some hesitation about my competency. I get it, her occupational therapist told me she’s be visiting homes for over a decade and that she can’t even remember meeting a Grandson being a 24/7 caregiver before.
Hey men:
Why are y’all so afraid of being gay?
Like even if someone mistakes you for an alphabet mafioso, what happens?
I have noticed some men I know will say things “nobody cared about school growing up” genuinely believing EVERYONE thought like that.
Years ago my 10 year old son and his friend ran off when we took a family trip to Great Wolf Lodge and I had to wonder all over this hotel/water park looking for them as a single middle aged father. The place was absolutely packed and it took me a good half hour to find them and I was the only unaccompanied adult male I saw. Some might think it was in my head, but I swear I kept getting sidelong glances from all of the moms and employees the whole time. Every time I would enter another room or area of the hotel I found myself wanting to say „I’m harmless, I’m just looking for my son!“.
I’m glad I didn’t go into a care giver career. I think I’d have been a perfectly good care giver, I just don’t think society wanted me to be one.
Basically saying ‚yes society is a cult yes toxic masculinity is a real thing no not all masculinity is toxic just toxic masculinity yes, people are really below 100iq in usa if iq were averaged from europe, somehow this includes with the uk bringing it down
I think its worth noting there is no societal attempts to change this. No programs or organizations to push boys and young men in that direction like there are to push girls and young women toward fields they’re traditionally underrepresented in.
A couple I know bailed on a daycare because they found out a guy worked there. He wasnt there when they did the interview. First day, they were picking up the kid and saw him. Complained to the women about it and withdrew the kid.
