Rant alert.

I'm so pissed off about this! The article writer, Meridith Deliso. I know editors can do a number on a writer's submissions, but "insensitive" in the title! How about INSULTING? More accurate word IMO. And ending the article with an (female) apologist who says, in effect, Be Nice! Let (the clothing company) make mistakes and learn from those mistakes. WTF!!! As long as men aren't being slandered, no big deal, right? Learning by beating down women is a tradition!

And to specifically make her a DO! I almost took that track myself. DOs are less locked in to pills a/o excessive, drastic surgeries, as curatives. My Family GP, a male DO, was the most awed, concerned, and supportive of women's health issues- he recognized women's bodies aren't the same as men's, and women usually suppress pain, unlike men. He referred me to a gyno so I could get my tubes tied at 23 yo, and my endometriosis was lasered! In 1983! (He's 87 now!). Grrrr. Pure politics! Two birds, one stone. Edit trying for some semblance of coherence Edit2. And WHY on earth do they have to "gender" ALL the time? Women 49-51% of population, genderfeels ~2-5% maybe. It's sexism!
