Another outstanding article from Kathy Gyngell, published two days ago. The hostile comments doubtless arise from a social media campaign, whipped up by doctors with (ironically) too much time on their hands.
Sadly the comments section is now closed, but I would ask you to join me in upvoting the piece. I had hoped to add a comment pointing out that Dr Vernon Coleman – the first ‘TV doctor’, and bestselling author – had started warning in his books in the 1970s what problems would result from the feminisation of the profession, which was then already underway. He predicted the problems which would result from female doctors (in general) not having the strong work ethic of their male colleagues (in general). How right he was. For every two male medical students today, there are three female medical students. The two men will collectively work markedly more hours over their medical careers than the three women collectively.
Over 50% of GPs today are women, and waiting times for appointments have never been longer. When I was a young man, it was common for GP surgeries to be open on Saturdays. Now it’s rare.
I am pleased to report that Kathy will be speaking at the second International Conference on Men’s Issues, at ExCeL London, 8-10 July. Her talk title will be:
Feminism and Family Dysfunction: A Disaster for Men, Women and Children.
Justice for Men & Boys 
This article is absolutely spot on. Other professions have been even more feminised, for example education. And it lowered the standards and quality. We can only expect similar results, wherever a profession becomes feminised. Unfortunately, we can only start changing this once we openly admit that women are less suitable than men for most professions. Are we ready for that ?
The sooner, the better. As long as we are reluctant to openly state this obvious fact, on grounds of misguided politeness and traditions, the whole society will suffer more and more.

We can’t begin to clean up the mess until women generally understand that women generally cannot do what men generally can and demand the repeal of anti-discrimination legislation.

Kathy certainly stirred up a storm of righteous indignation from those Selfless Special Medical Snowflakes. The hysteria of the responses rather supported her position.

I upset my part-time, good bedside manner but otherwise useless to me GP a few weeks ago. Her passive aggressive behaviour in response was most unprofessional. Male medics for me from now on.

I disagree with the article. I think the new pay rates promote the feminist gender pay equality ideal. At present junior doctors get more money for working anti-social hours, currently classified as outside 07:00 to 19:00 monday to friday. The new contract changes anti-social hours to outside 07:00 to 22:00 monday to saturday.
In most jobs you have to pay people more money to work on Saturday, because people generally don’t want to work then. A lot of the time, it’s male doctors who do the anti-social hours. The new rules fail to reward them for doing this.
One issue I think has emerged here, is because the trade has become increasingly feminised, there are less doctors willing to work anti-social hours for the extra cash, and so they’re having to force more doctors into these shifts as part of their regular working week.

We’ve been having problems in sectors with ‘feminised’ professions for quite some time now.
And I’m afraid women will NEVER realize that they are less suitable than men for a whole number of professions unless openly TOLD. And that will take putting politeness aside, unfortunately.
But it needs to be done for the sake of the whole society and economy.
