I get what you are saying, but we just need men. Socially healthy, well-adjusted men. Especially in early education. Role models matter.
All true. But because teaching is historically "women's work," it is undervalued and underpaid.
Most teachers I know have at least Master's degrees, yet we're paid less than B.A.s start at in many fields. I took a 20k/year pay cut when I became a teacher, despite having received a Master's degree before entering the field.
Until we value teaching as much as we value other types of work, we're not going to attract large numbers of qualified people, whether they're men or women.
