I prefer a female doctor and always have--with one exception. Generally I feel more comfortable around women--this goes for regular doctor's visits and gynecological exams. I've only found one male doctor I really like, and I would never consider going to him for a gyno exam.
Growing up I always thought it was weird my mom preferred male doctors over female doctors, and I presume now it's because of the generation thing--I think she grew up in a time where all the doctors were male and they were the ones who "knew" and so now she feels maybe female doctors don't "know" as much. It's really stupid, certainly, but that's how she feels.
For me it's not only aobut knowledge but personal comfort, and I can't feel comfortable with a man looking at my hoohah in a non-sexual fashion. Yeah, no thanks.
