Obviously, being a female attorney does not entail staring at a spreadeagled man's genitalia for a living. I think there is something fundamentally wrong with a man who chooses this branch of medicine. Why gynecology? There are thousands of specialties and they will choose gynecology because it satisfies some sort of perversion to be sure. How can a man possibly identify, empathize or know anything about the mechanics of a woman's body? No, I would never let a male gyno stare at my cunt and get his ya yas off, which is why they get into this profession fundamentally. K >
