If you have to do that because of your gender then you are oppressed.
I am about to take my kid and leave his school district partly influenced by three gender related blunders on the part of teachers towards me that have been hurtful to potentially very hurtful and have left me sort of angry and frightened. I know as a SAHD who has volunteered a little that I am putting myself in an unusual situation, but I expect that the teachers could behave maturely and sanely around me(many do).This is grade school, so all female teachers. I have quit volunteering and am hanging low as you say and am ready to bail. That’s oppressive.
I know what some will think and I am very careful about being around kids, but it seems classroom volunteer should be a safe place for me and other men. I don’t want to sue , but if these people are going to be so heavy on the sensitivity training I would like to see teacher be lectured on dealing with men in these changing times. State law says a parent can go in the classroom anytime they want. It shouldn’t be a hostile environment.
