        Not really, it’s an extension of the point. The medical industry has such a pervasive issue with sexism against women that even women doctors are conditioned to perpetuate it because that is the medical culture they have been trained on.

        It’s an understanding that the issue isn’t just male doctors but the entire culture of medical practice being influenced by patriarchal society that even female doctors begin to not take women’s healthcare seriously because they have been conditioned by current, male-dominated medical science and practice.

            No one is placing blame or questioning what anyone is doing about it. They are just making an observation.

            I’m not sure why you’re bringing up whataboutism.

              dubyakay@lemmy.ca above you did. If you do not have insights and knowledge on how to fix this discrimination within the medicine field, there’s really nothing more to discuss.

                No they didn’t? They added an additional observation about the effects of the very phenomenon being discussed. They never tried to shift blame with whataboutism.

                I explained their comments even further in my comment above.

                Just because you don’t have a solution does not mean you are barred from discussion about the problem. That’s insane.
