Women have been underrepresented in medicine for a long time. And it's not just about there being more men working as medical professionals. Women's health issues are severely understudied, many women feel ignored or dismissed when talking to healthcare professionals, and many medications are not even designed with women in mind.
On top of that, they have to listen to what their (sometimes) uneducated partners say. The gynecologist's office is probably the place where some men's ignorance really shines. In one online thread, a person asked: "OB/GYNs, what's the most mind-blowing thing a husband or boyfriend has said?" And, after you read these stories, you most likely will get the ick and wonder how some of these ladies were okay with being treated this way.
