Not surprisingly the man thinks there are too many and the woman disagrees. It would have made a more interesting debate had the roles been reversed. In my experience the people who complain the loudest about the extra consideration given to married women are the unmarried women.Terry Hamblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346629921055055879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-73870602412507898682008-04-04T10:27:00.000+01:002008-04-04T10:27:00.000+01:00Your friends at the BBC have just posted an articl...Your friends at the BBC have just posted an article with someone expressing similar worries to your own:-<BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/3aw6qzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-14864928112928812322008-02-10T12:48:00.000+00:002008-02-10T12:48:00.000+00:00I too have a female GP.

We have 3 male and 3 female GPs at the surgery. <BR/><BR/>However, in most professions it seems that women change after having a family, whether they intend to or not. Are their minds 100% on what they are doing, or are they worrying about little Johnny or Suzie? While some men will always leave most domestic issues to the women of the house, women will never compete as equals and we need them to be equal in the medical profession.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I'm speaking as a woman!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-88092119149801126252008-02-05T04:53:00.000+00:002008-02-05T04:53:00.000+00:00I'm surprised you haven't taken any heat for this ...I'm surprised you haven't taken any heat for this post, but you speak the truth.<BR/><BR/>However, it is not politically correct to even bring this up. <BR/><BR/>I used to have a female GP whom I liked a lot (I liked the fact that she admitted she didn't know something when she didn't know. She went as far as going out during a consult because she remembered hearing something about my complain in med school.)<BR/><BR/>Men are not encouraged to go to school. They are taught in the US by women in elementary and middle school. Men are rare as teachers in the public school system.<BR/><BR/>Boys are not girls, yet when boys act like boys, they are told to get on drugs. <BR/><BR/>Nothing will be done about this, ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
