Honey, about 3 women here attributed this to a male doc. The rest of the comments that refer to a male “he” are referring to the dad. Read them again. And one woman even mentioned that she still wouldn’t be ok with such a comment, even if it came from a female doc.
And that word you used, that’s sexist, too, right?

look at the sexist accusations that the offending OB was Male despite it not indicating the gender. Sexist twatters!

I 100% agree. Nevetheless I would have punched the father first.

Makes no difference to me if it was a male or a female making the comment. Replace the title “OB” with “brother” or “mother-in-law”, and imagine the result. Shocker: it’s still inappropriate! There are some things that should simply NOT. BE. SAID.

All I ‘m gonna say to that is that I believe this was likely taken completely out of context and that the OB was messing with the dad for being such an idiot as to not be simply overjoyed to have a HEALTHY BABY.

And for the record, we don’t know that the OB was a “he”, do we?

Even if he did’t intend an overtly sexual meaning, Mitch, do you *really* think that statement is acceptable? Even if it was simply a crass way to refer to her gender, I’m pretty sure it was just plain inappropriate.

When I read it, it looked to me like the doc was saying…sorry dad…but there is just a space there…as in no “boy parts” where dad had hoped.

I pretty much refuse to believe a physician in that situation would say something like that and have it have a sexual meaning. In fact, I never even thought of it like that until I read the comments on this post. That made me wonder where some people’s minds are at…and it was then that I became sickened.

How would you interpret it?

Anyone ever consider that you may be interpreting this statement all wrong?
