The reason people tend to ignore teachers is because they are predominantly women.

No, that's just the reason the profession in general complains more than most.

I appreciate teachers a great deal. In fact, I pay taxes to support teachers my kids will never use and tuition to pay the ones they do use. I can't think of any other profession that expects that plus a guilty conscious because the custodians of those funds (i.e. state and local governments) can't figure out a way to pay their employees more from the revenue they already collect. The solution is to abolish public schools and let the market do its thing. But not many people are advocating for that.
