AIBU to think its Plain old sexism on many women's Part

[Sadoldbag]

Sick to death or reading threads and hearing from oh who is a nurse say such and such asked for a female nurse because they feel more at ease with a woman looking at there fanjo only for a male doctor to walk in and look at there fanjo

Am I right to feel this is plain old Conspiracy of professionalism

If you don't want a male nurse fair play but what about the male paramedic, doctor , Anesthesiologist and male scrub nurse in the theatre who will see your bloody fanjo ffs

Also oh informs me about 80% gynecologists are male my oh works in a hospital were none of the gynecologists are female

So I really can't understand why you would let a male doctor see your fanjo but not a male nurse

Or have I gone mad

I don't see how it affects you, OP, I really don't. Some people prefer to see medical professionals of a particular gender. They have that right, and so do you. You choose not to exercise that right, as do many others including me who was examined by so many different people during a difficult labour that I felt like a fucking glove puppet . MYOB, live and let live

I'm not overly bothered who sees my fanjo anymore tbh, but there is only one GP who I allow to my smears because she understands how severe my SPD is, so is very gentle and does it on my side.

I have multiple steroid injections into my pelvis under GA, obviously I have no underwear on. My consultant is male he sends everyone out of the theatre who don't need to be there. I haven't asked him to do it, he just does it.

He has performed internal exams on me, when I am awake, I have no issue with it, because he is competent and I trust in what he is doing and his knowledge of my condition. If he sent a random woman in to do itI wouldn't allow it.

It's circumstances to me, not gender.

I think there's something in the point made up thread about the nurse/patient relationship being more intimate than the doctor/patient relationship.

I had a biopsy before Xmas for suspected endometrial cancer. Gynae consultant is a man. The biopsy was done in a rush in the initial consultation - not planned. Naturally I was shocked and upset at the turn of events.

During the procedure my hand was held by the nurse sitting at my head, maintaining eye contact, reassuring and encouraging me, telling me when we were nearly done. I didn't mind that the consultant was a man and he was very good, but I would have hated it if the nurse had been a man. I wouldn't have thought to ask for a female nurse ahead though, as I had no idea what was happening or how I would feel about it.

I think in these situations it does matter, but in others it just doesn't at all.

I have had chance to read all the comments yet and so apologize if this has been said already.
No offense op however
I do indeed insist upon a female (medical personnel). It's my perogative, if not such requests would surely be refused and this thread would read a little different.
My reasons are bad past experiences , and cultural beliefs.
I've had this conversation with dh before he said at the time he wouldn't want a female looking at his bits, unless there is an emergency situation, and then nobody in the right mind would care.
