Sweden has banned the practice of women patients requesting female gynecologists

Morons! I bet it is males who came up with this stupid rule.

This is not about discrimination, it is about of whether or not a woman feels comfortable with a man examining her private organs and breasts, and with discussing private issues with a male. Some women have no problems others do.

Also, did they bother to compare a man’s hand with a woman’s hand they’d notice that women’s fingers are usually smaller. For some of us, especially those who have never had children it makes a huge difference.

I had male ObGyns and female ObGyns. With male ObGyns I was always bleeding after the exam, and it usually hurt. With females, I hardly feel a thing and there is no bleeding.

Am I glad I don’t live in Sweden!

Why not? If you don’t feel comfortable with a woman examining you why shouldn’t you be able to ask for a man?

Not sure what Swedes do about it though.
