The point is we accept what we want to accept, and when it's a negative toward an issue, we embrace it more. But negative connotations, especially as they pertain to our own personal well being, hurts no one but our own selves.
While you choose to be anti-progression and vigilant in pointing out the "horror stories", which are far outnumbered byt the advances, I choose to be pro and vigilant in my assurances that I am getting the best I can find.
In my over half a century on this planet, I have yet to be "sexually violated", the victim of poor medical decisions or taken advantage of because of my status as a female.

I already acknowledged that gynecology has evolved in the past hundred years. I stated in a previous post that the experience should evolve to be like that of dental spas, so you cannot accuse me of being "anti-progressive."
Of course there are wonderful doctors who don't take advantage of their patients. I'm not denying that. But there is also a population of doctors who do not treat theur patients appropriately, and this cannot be ignored. Neither can the patient's personal perception of sexuality as religion and culture plays an enormous and diverse role in shaping this.
All I am doing is validating the women who have had bad experiences and offering them emotional support instead of condemnation.
