Pastor Steve, the statement of
you being the one with the problem does not stem from your belief in decency or clothing or even being against a woman disrobing in a doctor's office.
We here on the BB,
all of us, believe in decency and dressing modestly, for
both men and women, and we do believe that there is MUCH nakedness in this old world that is sinful.
The statement of
you being the one with the problem here stems from the fact that your article was full of vile accusations that aren't true.
Brother Steve...
you have been the vulgar party here...the offensive party.
Please bear with me....I say this to you out of a desire to see you rethink your words and choose them more carefully, not to make you feel like we are ganging up on you.
You made women feel horrible. You called our bodies "its". You said that our bodies were "pornographic" and "wicked things". You said that we "exposed" ourselves to our doctors. You said that women should just have babies like they did in the "old days", without help and without dignity and without medical attention. That is so demeaning for a woman to hear a man say.
You made stereotypical remarks and unfounded accusations about men. Yes, men are visual creatures, but that doesn't make them unfit to be a woman's doctor. My doctor is not, as you put it, "adulterous" or "perverted" or "having an appetite for nakedness" or "in the ob/gyn profession to touch women's intimate parts".
Trust me....we as women would know if they were.
We do have issues with our male doctors, but it isn't about sexual inappropriateness, it only comes from them often times not having a point of reference to understand what we are talking about.
That's all.
I trust my doctor implicitly. I trust him with my body and my life. He is very respectful of me and he listens to everything I have to say. I wish that I cite specific examples of his competency and compassion, but obviously I can't. I cannot "wrap my brain" around this idea that he would ever treat me in an unprofessional manner or God forbid, a vulgar manner.
The woman that you described in your article isn't me, nor is it any woman I know.
And the doctor that you described in your article isn't my doctor.
Please, please rethink your position on women and their doctors. Please pray about it.
I have prayed for you.
Peace-
Scarlett O.
