I’m a self-professed “male educator” and that is the title of this blog post. I am a certified teacher of both the K-12 and High School levels of education. I’ve worked in different capacities in the public and private worlds. Most of my career has been spent in the public realm, though. When I was a teacher, I worked part-time in the district office and part-time in the office of the principal.
Teaching is still a very male-dominated job. It is certainly not a job for women. Though it is for men who have earned the title of educator.
That is why I think the title of this article needs some explanation. When I was a high school teacher in the late 1990s, I knew all about “men’s education.” There was the “boys-are-boys-are-boys” mentality at the time, and I was definitely part of the majority of the male student body. Still, I felt as though women had a legitimate claim to this field.
I’m not sure where this idea of a “legitimate claim” came from. Maybe it was in the works in a few of my male students who were trying to break into the field, but I didn’t feel as though they could really claim it because the male students had to prove themselves and earn their way up the ladder. And I’m not sure how these claims were made.
First off, most men have a basic set of skills and knowledge that are easily identified and used in day-to-day activities. They know how to shoot, move, fight, and kill. They also know that they’re better than the next guy at any of these things. This is why men are in the military, and why they’re in law enforcement. Women, in a lot of cases, have very little of these skills, and are not in the same positions as men.
Many women are in the military and they are able to earn their way up the ladder. Some are even in the army. I have seen women in the military who have been through all of the many rounds of training and experience. Of course, all of this training and experience actually makes you a better fighter than the average woman who is in the military. You aren’t getting a better fighter, but you’re a better fighter.
In college, I was an Army Ranger, but I was not in the same position as a woman in the military. My training was in basic training. Ive had the opportunity to learn a lot about the military and the Army, and Ive gained some very valuable skills. But Ive never been in the military with a woman, so I am not really able to say that I have a good understanding of what the military is all about. But that is what I have learned to do.
The most important thing to remember about the mission in Deathloop is that it’s about the end of time, and that the end is when our eyes are most open. There are not many time-looping fighters in the world, so you have to make your own time-loop, because that’s not what you want to do. You also have to remember that a new mission is a new mission, even if it’s not a new mission.
