I used to have a friend who when she was pregnant, prefered to go to a male gynecologist because she said that they (male doctors) are very "kind." It used to piss me off. Why do men even study gynecology?
Why is it better? Gender is irrelevant! So a girl with appendicitis and who requires an appendectomy should search (in vain) for a female surgeon?! Kindly use other criteria to choose a doctor like recommendations from friends and family. Proper communication, pleasant personality and bedside manner matter more.
Majority of gynaecologists are men. The male gynaecologists also earn more than the female gynaecologists. That trend will continue for a while longer.
I understand what you say. I am one guy who hates this rubbish about gender parity. However, i tend to feel that it is better, not a must, if a woman is treated by a woman. So that if the doctor wants her to strip, then she can strip and there will be no problem. I don't know waht doctors learn at the university, but i am not sure their standards of morality when it comes to sexual matters is higher than that of the population.
What is a man supposed to do when a very beautiful 18 year old girl comes to her for help. I know that the doctor should be ethical, but that does not mean that he should be temte unecessarily. We should be like IRan where only women are allowed to study gynecology. This issue of men touching other peoples things is not proper.
