“A father and son get in a car crash and are rushed to the hospital. The father dies. The boy is taken to the operating room, and the surgeon says, ‘I can’t operate on this boy because he’s my son.’”
We bet you’re stumped—the boy doesn’t have any other fathers. Believe it or not, the doctor could have been the boy’s mother. Maybe a woman. When Americans hear this, jaws drop to floors, eyes pop out of sockets, and bones turn to jellies.
While there might be justification for this, the theory is worth challenging. Society would benefit if certain women could handle medical stresses like designing waiting rooms or intense clerical work.
God said a woman’s only utility was milky tits and washing dishes. But that is sexist and archaic. There are at least 10 women who could be a doctor (somewhere). No matter how many fish or barrels we have to shoot through, eventually, we’re going to land a catch.
In a country that thinks about female autonomy, this male-only profession has not been thoroughly examined. Women can do anything you can do bleeding, which, if you are already bleeding, means she could do (and bleed) a lot.
Look, they won’t all be winners, but who knows how to scrub in better than evolutionarily masterful dishwashers? Still doubtful? Look at what we taught Koko the gorilla: how to make herself useful.
Women might be 98% water, but the other 2% might actually have something to offer. As they say, “for every 49 states, there’s at least one worth visiting.”*
*In the future, when there aren’t any male doctors available.
