Men are 42% of teachers at the high school level: https://www.aaeteachers.org/index.php/blog/757-the-teacher-g...
School administrators are overwhelming male: http://aasa.org/SchoolAdministratorArticle.aspx?id=14492
I'm male, and taught K-5 special education for 2.5 years in my first job out of college. Few men join the profession, and many of them leave for better paying jobs, but I think a huge part of it is society's willingness to make raising children women's work. This is the "oh Daddy is babysitting!" phenomenon happening at the professional level.
But really they probably mean a minority in a specific career or environment. For example, ~6% of truck drivers are female but only ~18% of primary and secondary teachers are male.
