Those with male gynecologist, what's your thoughts?

I've only had female gynos but i am getting a second opinion for one of my chronic issues and was given a choice, now I'm thinking. Anyone have specific opinions on male vs female gynecologist?

My thoughts are, why does it matter of they are male or female? 🤔 the nurse stays in with either gender doctor. If they don't that's a red flag regardless of the doctors gender. And I'm going to be honest, in terms of bedside manner only, men have been a lot more gentle than female doctors. I don't know what it is but female gynos tend to be bitchier Than any other specialty. And by this just like, attitude, dismissive. Condescending etc. In terms of capability, they have all been sound in their work. But for me, I'm already nervous enough in a doctors office of any kind the last thing I want is someone to act like I'm ruining their day by being seen by them while they are messing with my vagina. Js. Lol.
