Today, as a medical student working in a hospital, I asked a patient if he had any questions for me or his physician. His only question: whether or not my breasts are real. FML

falafalo tells us more.

the_true_batman – I may not be a doctor, but that does not make the comments that reference female doctors irrelevant. Female medical students and female doctors face many of the same issues when working in the hospital. A couple of letters behind your name and a long white coat don’t erase sexism. If you can’t make the mental leap to connect female medical students and female doctors as women in health care, then perhaps is it you that needs to work on your critical THINKING skills.

Haha I can visualize homer Simpson doing something like that... Nurse: any questions? Homer: omg look at those... No! Don't stare! Better say something, she's looking at you! But they're so... No! C'mon c'mon give me something to work with... Alright, whatever you say, don't ask if those boobs are real. Don't ask! Omg why are her lips moving? I haven't thought about anything! Nurse: mr Simpson...? Homer out loud: are those boobs real? Homer head voice: D'OH!

There are times that I think: I understand women. Then, there are times that I realise I absolutely don't. But I guess the only real problem is language and how men and women use it differentely.

I would of said. "Yeah, I do. What sound does a giraffe make?"

I can't believe people are saying this isn't offensive. Sure, some are overreacting but for the most part they're right.You don't ask someone if their boobs are real, it's not a compliment. Even if they weren't, why would she tell him that? You get a boob job so people think you have big boobs, not so people think you got a boob job. It's rude. It really is. The furthest you could go with this is by saying that the guy saw she had a huge rack and didn't think it was fake but was so awed by its supposedly natural size. However, it's just plain rude to ask a question like that. That's the long and short of it. Like asking someone's age out of context. It doesn't even matter if there was no harm intended or if it COULD have ended up as a compliment, it's just the rudeness of the completely out of context question that makes this so bad. It doesn't need to be called sexist, it's rude by any meaning.

Where as all the respect gone? Sorry OP that guys are like that

dammm op thats a major complement. u must have great ****
