- llimllib 18y agonegative, ghostrider. Suggesting that a male obgyn may have a different and valuable perspective from a female obgyn is not the same as suggesting that all OBGYNs should be men. To be explicit, I don't claim that all articles about parenthood should be written by non-parents, just that there's a particular type of value in ones that are, since they may more successfully divorce themselves from the visceral feelings of attachment that parents have towards their children.
- sanj 18y agoYou're right. So the question then becomes: "Does a male obgyn may have a different and valuable perspective from a female obgyn?"
- Xichekolas 18y agoHow subjective is gynecology? How much room is there for 'perspective'? I think the metaphor has been taken too far to be useful here.
