Isn't one of the primary points of feminism that sexism is wrong? Why can sexism be justified just because you're a female who has met shi*ty men in your life? Not all men are douchebags.

Theara are good doctors and bad ones. Gender means nothing in this case, nothing.

I humbly don't see how the doctor's behavior was sexist. Wrong, mistaken, maybe incompetent, yes, but sexist ?

If a doctor sees a 20 year male student complaining about his pee burning, he WILL assume it's an STD, because it usually is. Is that doctor sexist ? I do not think so.

In the same way, the doctor was not saying the woman was stupid or exaggerating, just that he had seen this before plenty of times before and reached the same conclusion. he was wrong, yes, but i fail to see the sexism. I especially fail to see how that makes all men assholes.

Quote Hufflepuff: "Blah blah blah...I hate men...blah blah blah."

Don't you find it a bit hypocritical to complain about sexism when you yourself are so blatantly sexist?

BTW...Harry Potter is lame LOL!
