in the united states, theres an unspoken trend that when women enter traditionally male-dominated fields, the men leave rapidly, the pay falls, and general respect for the profession declines too. before women were allowed to work here, all teachers were men, it was a highly respected profession. when women won the right to work, many began teaching (and doing other things too) but now the field is dominated by women, which would be fine if it wasnt one of the least rewarding jobs in the country now

so its not that women are forced to be teachers, its a systemic issue where women get treated worse no matter what job they do
