Well, I've had bad experiences with male gynecologists, so that has colored my perceptions, probably, but on the other hand, why should a male be able to relate to what a gynecological exam feels like? In my experience, most of the males have not been gentle and have hurt me more, so I opted for females. I have really never had a bad experience with a female; they are usually super sensitive, warm up the tools before inserting, insert them slowly, ask how I'm doing, etc. After 2 or 3 bad experiences with males, I don't go to them any more. Also, I started to wonder exactly WHY a male would want to be a gynecologist. Do they have some weird obsession? Finally, when President Bush said that thing about gynecologists not being able to practice their "love," that pretty much made me want to vomit and feel like something may well be going on with males who are gynecologists. I figure either they find women mysterious and want to know everything, or they are freaky, and either way is not good. Sorry, I just can no longer get past the creep factor. And, I think there are some that just like knowing more about a woman's body than the average woman. More of the paternalistic control freak kind of thing. No thanks. I'm sure it's possible to get the aberrant sadistic female gyno as well, but I think it would indeed be an aberration.
