This would make us less employable and strikes me as job discrimination. If I were given this prohibition I would act against it. I would expect both social and legal systems to be on my side, let alone the morality and ethics of it. Children need the loving care of both women and men in their lives, and I consider that I have the right to provide that -- especially if it is my professional responsiblity! Greetings! I just found this site through the naeycmen listserv , largely used by members of the "men in education network" of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), an organization founded in the U.S. The listserv is for women and men who encourage and advocate for men in Early Childhood Education.
