I think you are oblivious to this significant population.
There are still doctors who make poor choices of actions and words during the exams in modern times. They end up hurting women physically and mentally, and they are not a rare population.
However, I do agree with you about seeking out a non-traditional exam, but those type of clinics don't exist in every city or town.

Kapsalis Bio
This is her faculty bio and it says nothing about her credentials regarding "gynecology instructor". She's an artist.
