That would be a great theory, except that gender segregation is similar for countries with European-like levels of parental leave.
In a Swedish study the term they used for the teacher profession was a "leaky pipe". The first year at university the teacher program is only somewhat gender segregated, but for every year that goes men either quit or refocus towards a specialty with more men. Once graduate, each year as an employed teacher the segregation rate increases with men either quitting or switching to a specialty like after-school sport.
The number 1 cause as highlighted by that study: culture fit and not feeling accepted.
