The avoidance of teaching/coaching careers by men in many fields is exactly due to the sexism of this article and Sey's book.
But the decline in male teachers has been taking place for decades, and feminist organizations have been fueling it for the same time with their hate speech against men.
Look around you, Mr. Feminist, and you will find hate in fellow feminists who preach "equality", but who are bigots or the worst type.
Italians are some of the most racist and sexist people on the planet, as tina schrier points out above.
Also, if law enforcement officials decide to detain and prosecute someone, they must certainly be guilty, as she also mentions in her post.
Excellent post, tina, you hit the key issues.

Well, at least she wasn't staring at him.
Women are victims :) !
Conclusions
There was a steady increase in mortality inequality across the US counties between 1983 and
1999, resulting from stagnation or increase in mortality among the worst-off segment of the
population. Female mortality increased in a large number of counties, primarily because of
chronic diseases related to smoking, overweight and obesity, and high blood pressure.
From the PLOS paper cited by the article:

Just as in cases of maternal child abuse or domestic violence inflicted by a women on a man, the man is responsible.
No need for accountability and agency when you can blame a man for your bad decisions.
Welcome to the post-feminist utopia.
Man, you feminists are just beyond sick in your hatred of men and marriage. Tracy, you are a piece of work.

Excellent post. There has been a paucity of man-blaming and derogatory generalizations about men in this thread. Why can't men be blamed regularly as part of commentary for every BS story??!!
Thanks for setting the record straight. Men are guilty, evil, and should be punished.
Human Trafficking Evokes Outrage, Little Evidence
U.S. Estimates Thousands of Victims, But Efforts to Find Them Fall Short
http://tinyurl.com/35ou6q
Outrage was mounting at the 1999 hearing in the Rayburn House Office Building, where congressmen were learning about human trafficking.
A woman from Nepal testified that September that she had been drugged, abducted and forced to work at a brothel in Bombay. A Christian activist recounted tales of women overseas being beaten with electrical cords and raped. A State Department official said Congress must act -- 50,000 slaves were pouring into the United States every year, she said. Furious about the "tidal wave" of victims, Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.) vowed to crack down on so-called modern-day slavery.
The next year, Congress passed a law, triggering a little-noticed worldwide war on human trafficking that began at the end of the Clinton administration and is now a top Bush administration priority. As part of the fight, President Bush has blanketed the nation with 42 Justice Department task forces and spent more than $150 million -- all to find and help the estimated hundreds of thousands of victims of forced prostitution or labor in the United States.
But the government couldn't find them. Not in this country.
The evidence and testimony presented to Congress pointed to a problem overseas. But in the seven years since the law was passed, human trafficking has not become a major domestic issue, according to the government's figures.
The administration has identified 1,362 victims of human trafficking brought into the United States since 2000, nowhere near the 50,000 a year the government had estimated. In addition, 148 federal cases have been brought nationwide, some by the Justice task forces, which are composed of prosecutors, agents from the FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and local law enforcement officials in areas thought to be hubs of trafficking.
In the Washington region, there have been about 15 federal cases this decade.
Ronald Weitzer, a criminologist at George Washington University and an expert on sex trafficking, said that trafficking is a hidden crime whose victims often fear coming forward. He said that might account for some of the disparity in the numbers, but only a small amount.
"The discrepancy between the alleged number of victims per year and the number of cases they've been able to make is so huge that it's got to raise major questions," Weitzer said. "It suggests that this problem is being blown way out of proportion."...
If the LW were a man, I can't begin to think of the sarcasm and feminist indignation that would be flooding the screen.
She's being treated the same way the vast majority of married men get treated by their spouses.
Since the LW is a woman, if she divorces her husband, she'll get full custody of the child, the house, alimony and child support.
You have all sorts of options ahead of you. Your husband has only obligations.
Her purported survey does not exist. I'm not required to prove this, either.
Magdelyn - brava! True equality - very refreshing.
Thanks for generalizing about half of humanity and all of America. All the while citing references that paint a black and white picture of the point you are arguing.
By your own admission, since you are American, you are implicitly incapable of a detailed argument. Sounds like the only valid point you've made in this thread.
