I've talked pretty openly about my inability to get pregnant and my decision not to pursue the medications and intervention route. If I'm going to be 100% honest, some of that is because I'm terrified I'd hate being a parent. I'm a parent to two step-children right now and I know I'm Ok at it. Adequate to the task.…

The problem is, by saying you only feel sympathy for their children and not for these women stuck doing something they regretted, you're ensuring that women will continue to feel ashamed for having these feelings and they won't speak about this frankly to people close to them or anyone else, and will keep these…

Also, it really annoys me when women are asked to account for their decisions about parenthood. I love Zooey Deschanel's response to the question: "Is having children on your priority list?" Zooey replied: "I'm not going to answer that question...I don't think people ask men those questions."

I felt the same way until my OBGYN was put on bedrest the day of my (minor) surgery and her male partner had to do my procedure — or I could reschedule for a few weeks later.

Regardless of if it's a man or woman it makes me uncomfortable, so it doesn't matter to me. I have a male OBGYN and he's my favorite doctor. There's always a female nurse in the room while he's doing his check and he's very professional, so it really puts me at ease. It's all really up to you and how you feel. Do what…

Yeah, women ending up being more comfortable with female doctors because of the way, y'know, men keep raping & assaulting & patronising & oppressing them is JUST LIKE RACISM.

Not sure why it's so bit, but here they are. I'm guessing this was the early 30's

Well aren't they all just whored up in their slutty little swimsuits. I do believe they're wearing lipstick as well. Sinful little Jezebels. Next thing you know they'll be dancing and carrying on and such.

Like I said, I don't give a fuck about their feelings in the matter. I'm the patient, and I love having awesome female doctors.

No, you're not alone. I can't see any male medical professional. I'm in the market for a obstetrician and my husband can't understand why I wouldn't take the one recommended to me. He's tall, youngish, cute, and he has southern accent. Basically sexy as fuck. Yeah, I'm with child and happily married, but I still don't…

I don't know... I thought it was a bit creepy too, but then I happened to take a few pre-med bio classes for my psych major and now I understand its literally almost a cultural difference between Dr's and non Dr's. Pre-meds learn to section off so many things that would otherwise be disturbing in their regular lives,…

I was very young when I had my first gynecological appointment - eleven or twelve - and my mother simply took me to hers, who was a woman. I have never, since then, had a male OB/GYN. I'd like to think I could be comfortable enough to use one, but I've never done so, so maybe I'm lying.

If it was my only option or the lady had a bad rating I'd pick a guy, but otherwise I think I prefer someone who actually knows what period cramps feel like etc. Not that ladies always understand the mysteries of your particular reproductive system.

Not at all. Statistically speaking, you are more likely to encounter abusive or inappropriate situations with male gynos, and there's no real upside to seeing a male gyno over a female one. And seeing an OB is an uncomfortable-enough experience, there's no need to make it more awkward by crossing gender lines and…

My OB-GYN practice only hired a female doctor after I'd had my first kid. I had her deliver my second, because after meeting her I found her extremely likable, but I have to say I preferred the way my male doctor did L&D. And also he ended up being the one to circumcise my son (even though he hadn't delivered him) and…

"Found a nice girl for you today, son. No previous owners. Checked under the hood and all the parts are in excellent working condition."

It's exactly discomfort, but I just would rather go to someone who has the parts in question. I recently had this abdominal pain and my regular doctor was out of town. SO I went to a dude doctor in her practice and he thought it was appendicitis but wasn't positive. A few hours later, I go to the emergency room and…

Nope! I vastly prefer female OB/GYNs and internists. It's not even an issue of sex or the fear of harassment. It's just that a pelvic exam is SO intimate. A man will never know what it's like to have a (truly) female body.

True story time! My first visit to the gyn started with an interview about my sexual history in his office. I told him I had none. He interrogated me further, discussing everything that sex could mean, and I said, really... no. Then he did the exam, announced that he believed me, and asked me if he could introduce me…

I don't see why we have to be comfortable with male OBGYNs simply because some men are comfortable with female doctors. Why can't we all just do what's most comfortable for us without being judged either way?
