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.

In primary school most teachers are women, but in high school - which is what we're talking about, it's pretty balanced.

More to the point though, something is failing in classrooms. That's what the article is about, hence the title "misogyny is thriving in our schools". Obviously it is not being caused by the teachers. The teachers do not want this to happen. It makes for a horrible work environment - especially for the female teachers. Programs and strategies are being implemented to try to address the problem, but the root of the problem is not from the school itself.

I hope that answers your genuine good-faith questions on the topic.
