But it all depends on your location and population demographics. In Northern Nevada, demographics lean towards males and the older age brackets (50+).

Looks like a mixed bag....the tech colleges are generally skewed one way or the other, in part based on what they teach for some, but the main universities look to have the % of men in the 40s for the most part.

Before you can compare a second data set, it needs to run through a similar set of controls and corrections.

Letting women vote, in hindsight, may have been a big mistake. Women lack the logic to make objective minded, long term decisions. They think in the here and now and have no comprehension of planning and cause and effect.

Oh I would love to see all the data and cogent arguments you have on this...this is not even just an argument "men are better at being logical", but that women lack logic skills completely. I'm sure this will be scintillating.

You don't think your mother is smart? I guess that explains how she raised someone like you,ignorance tends to breed more ignorance.

I can add further: I prefer male doctors. I hear women talking about their female doctor all the time and since I have a choice, a preference, I prefer a male doctor. I don't have a specific reason other than male doctors I feel more relaxed around them. (or at least it feels that way to me when I am being examined) ---But not always a fair assumption because there are plenty of qualified female doctors out there . I get that....


I hear women say, "Oh, my gynecologist is female. She understands my body." Really? So, male doctors don't have an understanding of your body? It's just apples and oranges. I prefer oranges.

Of all the doctors you could mention, it's a gynecologist

If a woman is more comfortable discussing such things with another woman, what does it matter to you, in the end? I do think there is an extra layer of potential understanding between members of the same gender since you actually experience the processes associated with the reproductive system. It doesn't mean that men can't possess a clinical understanding of the female reproductive system that is sufficient in most cases, though.

I am just glad there ARE woman doctors to A) allow women to choose their professions B) expand the pool of capable professionals and C) provide options for everyone to be comfortable with a provider of their choice.

In clinical medicine, there is a whole scientific diagnostic art form based around careful, systematic analysis of people's subjective experiences and the way they report them. If you think this is vague and ephemeral or has questionably vague or ephemeral value, you're completely out of your depth on this topic.
