    You said many gynaecologists are creeps, that’s a broad brush, and hasn’t been my experience (the ones that weren’t good were more on the side of ignorant of women’s lived experiences).

    And, unless you were a doctor in training under your father’s supervision him taking you to work is still very weird and not normal (and if you were, there’s a conflict of interest in him doing his own kid’s training)

      Again, no… what I expressed was that I was surprised by “how many.” That’s not any specific number when speaking in Modern English.

      And I didn’t say merely “creeps,” but mentioned just as much the ones that don’t seem to care very much about a woman’s comfort. On top of that, there are plenty who seem to operate along the lines of ‘I know what’s best in terms of women’s choices,’ with an obvious one being those who refused to perform abortions upon otherwise strong reasons to do so.

      And all that’s based on the many, many testimonials and examples of women I’ve heard from or come across. Go to any popular womens forum and you’re likely to hear the same.

      Finally, I don’t appreciate your attempts to mischaracterise me upon all that, for whatever reasons you’re doing so.

          Holy shit, do I have no idea what the fuck is wrong with you. Good thing we’ve got labels, tho.

          Feel free to have the last… toxic comment, though. Bye!
