Wrong, in High School (and every other teaching field) the majority of teachers are women.

Obviously the teachers do not want this to happen, but they are the ones in the position to teach otherwise and so I ask, why are these women not doing so?
Well, 'majority' just means more than 50% - so your claim is true. But that doesn't mean what I said is "wrong". The site you linked to says 61%. (Which I still think is relatively balanced compared to many fields of work.) And obviously that proportion will not be uniform in every school.
Why are you trying to push responsibility of the problem to women anyway? That's pretty weird. I'm surprising you're still pushing on this even now. It's as if you actually feel strongly that women teachers in particular are the only people who can address this issue. I don't know why you'd take that view.
It's weird that I think teachers should be teaching?
You have said in multiple posts that "women" should be doing more to address the issue of misogyny.
What are you saying now? That you don't think teachers aren't doing their jobs? Holy smokes man. It's not what you were saying before, but it is similarly hateful.
