I’m curious to know, amongst those of us that are starting to need the really invasive work done, how many of you have put off or simply refused procedures that you find embarrassing?

Does the procedure bug you, or is it the discussion?

Does the gender of your doctor/nurse matter in your decision to seek treatment or not?

What could be changed to make you change your mind if you decided not to go?

[Edit - I cannot edit the title but I am eating crow because at least one woman agrees with this statement; I should have said people and my own biases blinded me to that]

In English, referring to any group without some kind of qualification is referring to the whole group. If I say, for example, that apples are red, I’m completely in the wrong as many are green.

For some reason that I cannot comprehend, it has become commonplace to say, “Men are [x]”, but rather than standing by the statement, simply saying that anyone taking offense is clearly a perpetrator of [x].

Gender war nonsense aside, this is logically inconsistent in the extreme, and it should really bother anyone with a fundamental grasp of the language.
