Please It is obvious even if a male Dr. did do a good job you prefer the woman OB's.

I have never seen something so sexist in my life!

Why? For what possible purpose? To prove which sex makes the superior OBGYN in your opinion or perhaps Male bash? Bottom line is you have a personal choice. If you want a female OB then go for it but the suggestion of doing a study to prove your point by putting down the male OB isin't the way to prove your case. I find this whole male/female debate that has popped up on this forum lately OFFENSIVE!
