happy pride to all my closeted lesbian womyn and girls <3 do not equate your natural state to the forces in your life that stop you from stepping out. your lesbianism is not a curse, just delayed joy.

why do men want to be gynecologists? why? why. gynecology is for females and should be practiced solely by women imo 

[eyesofsomeonenew]

I don’t think a fuckboy is gonna go through years of college education with the mindset of “I’m doing this so I can put metal and cotton swabs in vaginas”…. (more)

[fatallyfeminist-deactivated2020]

lets talk about the arkansas gyno, paul becton jr. who took nude pictures of his female patients 

lets talk about dr. john black (gyno) who sprayed a chemical found in drain cleaner into his female patients’ genitalia

or dr. robert hadden, a gyno who performed unwilling oral sex on his patients and staff member

or dr. bruce sylvester smith, the gyno who raped (at least) one patient and sexually harassed many others.  

and while we’re at it, lets talk about male gyno, dr. john marshall who tricked, drugged, and raped his patient. 

or dr. paul kelly, an indiana ob-gyn who sexually abused his patients and over-prescribed dangerous drugs. 

and dr. kevin pezeshki, who abused several patients and the list goes on and on. 

so actually tons of male doctors abuse their patients, and the cases of female doctors abusing their patients is almost non-existent. so thanks for your comment, but next time, try doing a bit of research. 

[landmerbabe-deactivated20190210]

let’s talk about my patient yesterday who complained that every male ultrasound tech that has performed a vaginal ultrasound on her pushed the probe way too far and clearly had no concept of vaginal comfort during penetrative procedures

let’s talk about how not once have i hurt any of my patients during vaginal ultrasounds, and if they have issues with penetration such as vulvodynia or a history of endometriosis, i take a long, slow time to do the ultrasound and check in frequently, and will attempt to do an abdominal ultrasound instead if warranted

let’s talk about how it is most certainly because i am a woman and therefore i understand my female patients and their comfort levels much more than any dude could.

[pizza-trashh-deactivated2016031]

^^^ all of this. Not to mention the one time I had a male doctor do my exam, he took one look at my sexual history and immediately refused to do any more tests or exams because he was “positive” I was just had a bunch of STIs. He didn’t listen once to me telling him that I didn’t think that was right and I wanted to be sure. Three days later I’m getting rolled into emergency surgery because my ovary had ruptured and had become infected. Yeah, gynos should always be female.

[artemiswasamerf]

I wouldn’t feel comfortable at all with a male doctor being anywhere near my vagina, sorry not sorry.

[rad-virgo]

A male physician tried to pressure me into letting him put my IUD in! He was so adamant about it, and had this sick smile plastered on his face during the consultation. Eventually I just got up and left. Sick fuck. My current physician is a female, she’s very professional and does her job without associating vaginas as sexual attraction. MALES SHOULD NOT BE OBGYNS! I’d even go so far as to say that males shouldn’t be doctors at all. As some of you know, my childhood family doctor (a male of course) was convicted of possessing and distributing child pornography. Even more evidence that most men are incompetent sick freaks.

[cantanopeshitthatwastaken]

hell, there was a recent story about a podiatrist (‘foot doctor’) whos only reason for entering the career was due to his extreme fetish for feet. It was discovered by his wife when she found thousands of photos of patents feet, stored WITH other porn, on his laptop. This was not “staying in the bedroom”, and he had never even mentioned it to his wife (actually denying having any out-of-the-usual desires whenever she asked).

[brokemeansfixed]

A former friend of mine (a male) worked as a nurse and was charged with looking after a woman about our age. This included helping her dress, so yes of course he saw her naked. After a few days caring for her, he comes to me for advice about asking her out.

“But I don’t want it to be awkward because I’ve seen her naked?”

I explained to him, it’s GOING to be VERY awkward. It seems like you were just checking her out.

Of course he’s all, ‘no no no of course not I compartmenalize. I’ve just enjoyed talking with her/getting to know her while I’ve been caring for her.’

Like he thought he was so romantic. Instead of opportunistic. It’s literally your JOB to care, you asshole.

I said to him, She’s been talking to you because she’s a captive audience, she’s hospitalized.

He says, okay well I’ll wait to ask her out until she’s discharged then.

He asked her out.

She turned him down.

I was like, what did you fucking expect?

Men shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near women when it comes to healthcare, period. Our bodies are different than theirs. And men don’t see women as human. They see us as objects at worst, opportunities at best.

[brokemeansfixed]

An ex-girlfriend of mine used to see a neurologist as a teenager until he was arrested for child pornography. Just to add to the ever growing list of revolting offenses by men.

Like, men thrive on having positions of power. Fuckboys DO go to college. They drug and rape girls at their fraternity parties, then go on to become all sorts of professionals.

[phalloid-destroyer-deactivated2]

One time i needed to get a heart ultrasound and the male doctor had a fucking boner because his hand was around my boobs and he started to touch me with his other hand WHILE A FEMALE NURSE AND MY MOM WERE IN THE SAME ROOM NEXT TO US and then he was so out of focus after the scan was done i was just waiting for it to be over and he couldn’t even talk properly and he was constantly scratching his dick in front of me and after we left i was constantly looking over my shoulder and then he went to the staff bathroom to fucking jerk off.

I still feel extremely violated to this day, i want to kill him, smash his head and gouge his eyes out, paint the floor with the blood of his intestines.

Ask any woman…

[whatthefuuuuuuccckkkk]

also its suspect for a man to even want to do that if you ask me…out of all the jobs in the world….

[prettyangryprostitute]

When my girlfriend was hospitalized with severe Guillian-Barre syndrome (she was essentially paralyzed from her neck down), she would literally beg me to shower her instead of her MALE nurse because he refused to lift her breast to clean the skin underneath, or clean her thighs between her legs because it gave him a fucking hard-on. As if it wasn’t literally his fucking JOB. She’s my girlfriend and I wasn’t so overwhelmed with sexual desire while I gave her a shower that I couldn’t even touch her breasts with going into a lust-filled satyriastic craze.

[thevaginamonoblogs]

I’ve worked in the medical education sector and the amount of male medical students who enter medicine knowing NOTHING about female anatomy and who leave it with the same knowledge should horrify every woman reading this.

After over a decade working in the sector, over 90% of the male medical students I’ve encountered either objectify women, are embarrassed by them, or do not care about female medicine at all.

The women on the other hand were uniformly fine with male medical examination et al.

[arminjuice-deactivated20210413]

this is why i won’t even take my shirt off in front of my male doctor, even back when i wore bras. he already looked at me sexually once when i was 13, and my mom blamed me for wearing a low-cut jumpsuit in 38°C heat. not letting something like that happen again.

[pusheen-the-radfem]

I just don’t understand what people expect. the same men (basically all of them) who watch violent degrading pornography go on to become doctors. the same men who think of women as things for their pleasure only, as objects, as usable, abusable and discardable, go on to become doctors. it’s not like getting on the pathway to medicine means you are sent into monk-like service as a toddler and shielded from the perversions of the patriarchy. these doctors are men raised in our porn-sick misogynist society first and foremost, in and out of the white coat. I never get what makes libs think that there’s some magic button that these men can press in their heads to be able to go from misogynist porn-user man to professional doctor. brains don’t work like that. pleasure and addiction drives don’t work like that. we have explicit neurological studies showing that this sort of compartmentalisation is not possible. and yet the same lib women who will have had sex with violent men and experienced first hand their desire to get off on women’s pain will enter twilight zone levels of cognitive dissonance to argue that this doesn’t matter the second that man enters a workplace. and the men themselves who get off on abusing women won’t ever think any of this is a problem, in a professional context or not.

“If male doctors were more like female doctors, 32,000 fewer deaths would occur annually, new research suggests. The exact reason why, however, remains unclear, The Wall Street Journal reports. The study, published in the journal JAMA International Medicine, included more than 58,000 physicians who treat Medicare enrollees. They found that even when female doctors treated sicker patients, like those with sepsis, pneumonia, acute renal failure, and arrhythmia, mortality rates were lower than those of male physicians.”

Men cannot be trusted

[boganclarke2-blog]

Let’s also add onto the list the male fertility doctors who have used their own sperm to fertilize patients‘ eggs and, in the case of Pedro Pascal’s father, stolen and implanted embryos in a human trafficking scheme. The violations don’t even stop at our bodies.

When you’re accustomed to being able to commit violence against gyno patients, “gynaecology jobs should be for people who have those parts” feels like oppression

Goldstar lesbian: I’m pretty lucky I figured out my sexuality early and never slept with a guy. I’m glad I didn’t because I know I would regret it now, and it would have made me really uncomfortable, so yeah I’m pretty happy I’ve always known I was a lesbian which I’m aware is a pretty rare experience. Yay, good for me.

Everyone on earth for some reason: oh so you’re just a creepy straight guy who is saying that women who have slept with men are dirty impure sluts? you’re saying that late bloomer lesbians aren’t actually lesbians? You are a misogynist who judges women’s value based on their sexual history?? You want women who have slept with men to literally fuck off and die??? You are literally planning a mass genocide of women who have slept with men???

Gold star lesbians make up approximately 0.5 percent of the global population. No one hates you or is mad at you because you are straight or bisexual and slept with a man, and no one hates you for being a late bloomer lesbian who slept with a man. It’s fine, in fact, you are the status quo. I have a lot of respect for women who didn’t realize they were lesbians until after sleeping with a man, or even marrying one. All the hardships that late bloomer lesbians talk about when it comes to compulsory heterosexuality, social pressure, and uncomfortable sexual encounters with men are exactly why I’m really happy and proud of myself for figuring myself out early, and not caving to any social pressure, because I know that’s not an option for most lesbians and not a common experience. Late bloomer lesbians have every right to also be happy with themselves and proud of the things they’ve gone through to get to a happy lesbian life, and it wouldn’t make me insecure. You wouldn’t see me claiming that late bloomer lesbians are creepy men.

But the second commenter is absolutely right, I don’t view any type of male as a real woman! But even if you believed trans women are women, they are male and have penises. If being a gold star lesbian requires never sleeping with a man, there is no physical tangible difference in sleeping with the male body of a “cis man” and a “trans woman”. You have sex with your bodies, not your internal identities.

[watermelinoe]

can't believe this used to be the male tears website but now you have to be careful bc half of the "man-hating" posts on here are actually just trans-identified males punching down at transmen

“It is common belief that whatever the situation, both sexes faced it alike. But the male peasant, however cruelly oppressed, always had the right to beat his wife.”

[doingitatmybirthdaydinner]

this is so true and this is why i’m so confused about why so many people (including many black women) are mad at Paris Mwenda for saying she feels like she is a woman before she’s black. because black men can hypothetically find a safe haven from anti-black racism within black spaces, but black women in black spaces are still subjected to misogyny, domestic violence, rape, etc. i think that was her point. that black men can seek refuge from their oppression by forming relationships with black women and creating and socializing within black communities, but there is no refuge for black women. because even in those communities that should be a safe space from racism, they are subjected to misogyny and male on female violence. like she’s literally right?? she didn’t say that being black is totally chill and causes no issues because of racism, she just said she feels like she’s a woman before she’s black. like oppressed men might be oppressed, but they always still oppress women within their same oppressed class! poor men still beat their poor wives! black men are misogynistic to black women! jewish men etc etc etc forever. and everyone is flaming her and claiming that she probably only dates white women, and that she’s whitewashed. she’s right!!!!

[lecruee]

we are all pick mes. we have literally all been groomed to be pick mes, that is the essence of femininity. wearing makeup and restrictive clothing everyday, being terrified of aging, of getting too bulky from exercise, of being too loud or ‘masculine’, of having body hair. this is all done for attention + acceptance from individual males, and more often, from a patriarchal society. so many women struggle to understand that the reason why you feel more ‘confident’ doing those things is because you would be ostracised if you didnt and because that is what you have been bombarded with since before you could speak.

[longsightmyth]

I bring a real 'actually people who are pregnant do deserve some special consideration because they are effectively at least temporarily disabled if not permanently after some complications' vibe to the party that a lot of people don't seem to like

[elementop123]

This is real. Also, I had periods for about a decade pre-transition, and those can be debilitating, too, and should be given special consideration if the person having them experiences things like severe pain, heavy bleeding, issues with things like cysts, extreme nausea or fatigue, etc.

[evenlesssentimentaltranslator]

I bring a kind of “and stripping away the word ‘woman’ erases WHY people react so vitriolically to the assertion that special considerations should be given in these situations” that tumblr REALLY doesn’t like. You can call yourself a man all you want but the moment you’re pregnant or get your period you’re treated just the same as the rest of us.

“I treat myself like I would my daughter. I brush her hair, wash her laundry, tuck her in goodnight. Most importantly, I feed her. I do not punish her. I do not berate her, leave tears staining her face. I do not leave her alone. I know she deserves more. I know I deserve more.”

Me: I want to see a cultural third gender that isn’t a way of othering effeminate males out of ‘correct’ manhood.

Progressives on Tumblr: I have the gender.

Me: You’re sure? You have the third gender and it isn’t exclusivily for males?

Progressives on Tumblr: This is correct. I have a socially functional third gender that is completely different from masculinity and femininity and isn’t sex-exclusive. I do not have a fringe identity for male crossdressers.

Me: Excellent! Please show me the gender.

Progressives on Tumblr: Here you go! *Effeminate male in a patriarchal society*

Like well no I can’t take you seriously if you think bi women and lesbians are oppressed the same when half of this site has been jerking off recently to correctively raping lesbians I simply cannot take you serious! I’m sorry!
