    Actually a gynecologist is not a ‘doctor of women’ since not only women have that reproductive system. they’re doctors of vulvas, vaginas, ovaries, cervixes and uteri etc.

      I guess you could say they specialize in female reproductive organs or something

      But this “guide” is just super simplified

        Yeah, if they’re going to be biologically essentialist, the least they could do is get their terminology correct.
