Bumping this because there was an article about this in this month's Glamour. A male med student wrote a piece about how he wants to go into OB/GYN and he was discouraged by other men from doing it saying that most women wouldn't hire him. It goes on to talk about it and he says that men should be gynecologists.
My friend and I had this talk over th e weekend and she and I both agree that men should not be gynecologists. I don't care if you have a medical degree, but unless you have a vagina then you don't know how one works. Wednesday night I had to go to the ER because I had ruptured cysts on my ovaries and the doctor that was assigned to me was a man. He gave me two Tylenol (no joke) for the pain. He really thought that was going to do it for me.
