I haven't been to a dentist in 20 years because when I was a child I had a male dentist was was very bad and did some very bad things to me. This experience scarred me for life and even the thought of going to a dentist makes me cry like a baby and I have lots of tattoos (didn't flinch once or make a sound)and I have had my tonsils out. So now after 20 years I need to see a dentist and I have my boyfriend keep telling me i need to go. I was crying for a week straight at the thought of just going until I thought about seeing a female dentist and the though of that still scared me but it made me a lot less scared. I'm at least not scared to the point where I'm in tears. My point is we should not discriminate. It is nasty. And we need female dentists for people like me and I know I'm not the only one out there who feels like this. I think we need female dentists.

Not being a dentist myself, I didn't feel it appropriate to put in my two cents there. From your previous discussion: "<b>With too many qualified female applicants</b>, educational institutions have had to adopt higher standards for women in order to maintain an even gender ratio". In this day and age, it's ludicrous that this type behavior continues to prevail in our society.
