You’d have to be willfully ignorant of context, history and systemic power dynamics to think misandry is a threat to men in the same way misogyny is a threat to… well, everyone.

Oddly in the US, its the other way around. Colleges have moved towards hiring “adjunct faculty” to be teachers, often paying around minimum wage. While lower schools (at least around here), typically pay more than double minimum wage, often more than triple (even assuming teachers work 52 weeks a year without any breaks/vacations). Researchers (if they can keep a constant flow of grants) and coaches get paid well in universities, but that’s not for teaching.
But yeah… high schools seem to have no problem with male teachers. Elementary, idk. Might just be men don’t seek those positions because of the assumption they won’t be allowed?
This varies wildly based on state. I’m in a state where this is true because teachers’ unions still have a strong presence here. But there are states where making triple minimum wage as an elementary teacher is a pipe team or where their minimum wage is still $7.25/hour so that’s less significant
Doesn’t change the comparison to adjuncts who don’t even make that due to all of the unpaid hours needed to do a good job.
That doesn’t make it good or acceptable pay. Especially given the training and everything that goes into it, like dealing with classrooms full of kids who often don’t want to be there.
