What are the kinds of teaching in which men predominate over women?

What kind of a question is this? The Google dictionary shows two definitions of predominate:

1. Be the strongest or main element; be greater in number or amount…
2. Have or exert control or power.

I wonder which definition they’re asking about. Where do men show up in greater numbers? Well, probably only in college and university settings. Where do men exert power over women? In the administration of education at pretty much every level from elementary through college. In my experience with education in a number of different states all over the country, it is the rare school or school system that has a woman at its head.
