As your #gynecologist I need you to know:
I don’t care what you’re wearing.
I don’t care what you look like down there.
Hairy vulva? I literally don’t even take note.
Hairy legs? Same here.
On your period? What do you think I do for a living?
I’m a mother of six, and a Mormon. I have a good understanding of arguments surrounding abortion, religious and otherwise. I've been listening to men grandstand about women's reproductive rights, and I'm convinced men actually have zero interest in stopping abortion. Here's why…
This is very different than a truly toxic or bullying environment, that is unacceptable. But if you associate the femaleness of the patients/staff/environment with certain attributes and then find that isn’t the case; it may be gender bias at work!
It absolutely might be —but there’s an equal possibility this is the first time you’ve ever been around this many life-or-death emergencies with women in command; you are likely unprepared for how your biases will react to the demeanor necessary to do the job.
I would challenge every med student who shows up to their OB/GYN rotation to ask themselves what their preconceived notions are of being in a high-stakes, predominantly female environment before deciding if it’s truly hostile or not in an evaluation.
Today I launched a website to be a hub where you can get:
1️⃣birth control
2️⃣emergency contraception
3️⃣medication abortion pills
