You misread the intent. "You shouldn't feel violated" because, well, no doctor should do anything to make you feel that way, not as a dismissal of your emotions. "Shouldn't HAVE to feel" might have been better wording.
If you or anyone else has been personally violated then that's an issue that needs to be dealt with. The vast majority of medical practioners don't see you as a sexual being-they're just doing their jobs to keep you healthy.
Having trust in your medical practitioner is part of the process and if you don't have that trust, then you need to look elsewhere.
I don't see it as anything sexual any more than I would see a mammogram or teeth cleaning as sexual. It's a process in health maintenance.
This isn't 1908 when doctors used to think that orgasm would cure a woman's "hysteria" or that removing her reproductive organs would make her sane.
