She Once Dated A Doctor Who Said Said He Didn’t Believe A Woman Should Be Working More Than Or Just As Much As A Man
The dating world is a tough place for all women to navigate in general, but it’s even more challenging for educated women, especially if they’re women of color.
Despite the fact that we have entered a new, modern era, the idea that a woman’s place is in the kitchen still persists. As a result, a woman’s career is often considered less important than a man’s.
A TikTok user who goes by the handle @doctor.starmd is discussing what dating is like as a surgery resident physician. The majority of her experiences had been great, but some were just beyond awful.
One time, she decided to try to pursue another doctor, even though she was actually against dating doctors.
He served as a stark reminder of why she had implemented that rule for herself in the first place. This guy was also a surgery resident, and he was a little higher up than her.
They went on a date and were having a good time until he asked what made her decide to become a surgeon.
She proudly explained in depth why she chose her career. When she was done, he gave a response that made her immediately write him off.
He told her that if he ever married a doctor, he would want her to be a dermatologist or work in family medicine because he didn’t believe that a woman should be working more than or just as much as a man.
She could not believe that he had the audacity to imply that she needed to change her career for him.

She didn’t really say anything in response to his statement. After that, she stopped talking to him altogether.
In the comments section, several TikTok users lamented over the struggles of dating in the medical field.
“Fellow black female doc here (radiology). Chile, dating as a black woman in medicine leaves me speechless sometimes,” commented one user.
“Dating a man in medicine/healthcare is my worst nightmare FR. Between the ego and the misogyny, they are not okay,” stated another.
“He didn’t want you working in the ones deemed more of a prestigious practice. He’s a little man on the inside,” pointed out a third.
