Sarah Silverman blasts her male doctor on Instagram for fondling her breasts

[Anonymous]

I've had male gynos and never had something like this happen. Her point was that girls and women (who are socialized to keep quiet) should speak up if a doctor or medical professional makes you uncomfortable. It was a good post.

Female docs are also guilty of this. Why do you feel safer with them?

Because 99.9% of the time, it's men who do this shit.

Female doctors have done and said some of the most sexist crap ever to me. I’ve had them judge me for being sexually active, tell me that my female-related problems were all in my head, treated me like an annoyance because I was upset over a miscarriage, and push the choices they made for their bodies onto me. In college one female obgyn even tried to convert me to Christianity.

Yep. Along with not taking pain seriously because, "I've had 5 kids, I know pain!" instead of investigating what turned out to be legitimate concerns. Also that I would be infertile if I didn't have a kid by 30. I had a strong of them and now only go to male gynos.

Wow, that's awful. Both the female and male obgyns that I've had have been really great.

Don't get started on the female gynos who wouldn't do full panel STD testing because I was, "UMC and white." I'd honesly love to find one, but I found their care lacking and have been happier with my male gynos by far.
