Of course not, but they do disappear. Want some proof?
Teachers in the Netherlands are over 87% female
Source: CBS (Central Bureau for Statistics)
The report(s) also explicitly states that "this is not a phenomenon unique to the Netherlands."
If I would go through the trouble, I could find you similar reports on HRM, nursing, vets, psychology... and so on. (On that last one, there's a recent report that states over 4000 (!) psychologists are graduating in the Netherlands, each year, over 80% of them being female.)
CBS is working and advising the government in the Netherlands, and it keeps statistics on basically everything. I assume they even keep statistics on the number of reports they produce.
Do you know how many female teachers *I* had between the ages of 6 and 20 (primary school, and two different levels in high school)? ONE. The one in first grade was a woman.
Then I went to study English, which I did for two years, and had a culture shock, because I basically didn't talk to a man older than 24 in two years. ALL teachers I had were women. 8 out of 10 students were female. After two years I switched to Computer Science (but not because of being swamped by women; there were other reasons). All of my teachers there were male, and in four years, I only met like... 3 or 4 female students. But, there also was and still is, a relentless push to get females to study computer science or any other technical profession, but there is no such campaign pressing for guys to pick up teaching, psychology, HRM... etc.

That's too funny (if it wasn't so patently false and sexist).

So yes, you might choose not to believe it, but it still wont change the stats. At least for some professions, the statistics tell that as soon as female participation in that profession exceeds 50%, it'll keep rising because no or very few 'new' men are entering the field.
