I've had my annual done by four different people: 2 men, 2 women. In my experience, women just have a better bedside manner...I think men feel obligated to make conversation. Halfway through an exam from a male gyno, he let it slip that he's a Republican. As a yellow dog Democrat, I wanted to scream, "Get out of there!"
I've also had a male GYN get kind of judgmental about my sex life....but I don't think that was gender-related, I just think it was that particular doctor.
