Really interesting comment!
"...a Royal Commission to determine the root causes and a plan to put more males in the schools to provide role models for male students ..."

Don't need the RC, --just read comments pages. According to a couple of commenters on another story ("unfounded files; sexual assault, as I recall) the reason there is that HUGE gender imbalance today in primary levels is ... male fear of being victimized by some dissatisfied parent (likely the mom) and it is too, too, easy to be accused of "inappropriate touching" if nothing more serious.  Ya never know. So: why take the chance? 

Same thinking applies to men who might otherwise be Cub/Scout leaders. And, maybe, since girls are now inside air, army and navy cadet ranks, it might also apply to the cadet leadership as well.  Who wants to be a part of the chosen environment for pedophiles in our midst?
