Problems you feel are unfairly blamed on men specifically (cf. men and women/society)

This is probably not the most interesting example of something I think is unfairly blamed on men, but it is the most recent one I have come across.

I was just listening to "Global Village" http://newstalk.ie/globalvillage on NewsTalk.

It had an item on childbirth, and how some women would like it to be less medicalised in Ireland.

I have no strong opinions on this.

What I did have a problem with was the suggestion that the current model in Ireland/why things are done this way is to suit male doctors ("patriarchy" was also thrown in).

I presume this is due to a practice that women are induced more during working hours and the like.

I don't know any evidence that female doctors are more against such practices than male doctors. Indeed, generally in society, men are more willing to work unsociable hours than women. And in medicine, one seems to see women more in jobs which have more family friendly hours, with fewer women in jobs like surgery where unplanned operations mean hours can be unsociable/not family friendly. Anyway, even if one thinks female doctors are equally willing to work unsociable hours, I don't see what the evidence is that childbirth practices are due to suit male doctors more than female doctors.
