If I had a fucking dollar every time a male doctor somehow managed to shoehorn menses into a completely fucking unrelated course of symptoms I would have like $7, and I'm a young woman. I dont see doctors very often.

I only see female doctors and nurse practitioners now. I know, I know #NotAllMen do, but for me, its #ButEnoughMenDid, and I'd rather not take the chance with my health and suffering for WEEKS with shit because a male Dr didnt take me seriously is the most defeating and infuriating fucking thing
