Gynecologist Apologizes For Asking How Women Would Design Office

 

 Ryan Stewart took to Twitter to get women’s input on how to set up his clinic to best suit them and make them comfortable. He stated: "I have the opportunity to design my office from scratch. I’m asking women. How would you design/optimize a visit to the gynecologist’s office?" Kind and sensitive guy, right, seeking women’s opinions in such a way?

Nope. Monster. And numerous Twitter users let him have it.

He subsequently issued a mea culpa, tweeting: “Folks have [correctly] pointed out that I [incorrectly] said ‘women’ when what I should have said was ‘folks who may need gynecologic care.’ I named the practice with this in mind @midwestpelvis, but I find that I still have a lot of internalized/implicit bias.”

Bias towards biological fact? Internalized reality? The science is settled. Women have uteruses, men do not. And the definition of gynecology, at least for now, is: “the branch of physiology and medicine which deals with the functions and diseases specific to women and girls, especially those affecting the reproductive system.”

 If we can no longer recognize the difference between men and women, or even say the words, we are screwed. Speaking of which, we may, at some point, literally lose the ability and/or desire to reproduce.

 We may also lose the ability to communicate, at least verbally, at the rate the woke language police are banning words and phrases.

 So let me take this opportunity to choose my words carefully-- and tell the would-be tyrants of the tongue, the authoritarians, and the soulless power-mad elites: “Screw you and the horse you rode in on.”

 Apparently, it now takes a man to use the word ‘woman.’
