You seem to be suprised that most of the doctors for what we can call “ forced medical examination ” because they are compuslsory at school, university or for entrance to a job or annually at jobs are mainly women but it is perfectly undestandableThese doctors are paid to do a job without much responsability towards patients and to do the job at a schedule time, it begans in the morning and ends at the end of afternoon, they are never required to work later on nights and att week ends, it was and still it is like an employee job as regards the hours of working, it is much better to have a family and time at home to care about the house and children
It can be a little boring because they have to examin a lot of persons in a few time and according to the same procedure ( there is a medical form to fill and the exams are perfomed according to standards and all these doctors must follow the instructions to respect the procedure)
They have a few decisions to take but a few ones like for instance the state of undress and when ! or if the examination is performed alone or in a group if thre is nothing mentioned by authoritiesThese jobs are interesting more women than men because they are less paid than private jobs and also because they can be boring after a certain time but women like them generally
May be also even It is not certain at all because some women like to have power on persons who must be examined at a schedule time and must obey to all instructions as regards undressing and so onSometimes it can be because women doctors liked to examin boys and young men in good heath and handsome
On a forum about compulsory physicals for military service in Germany before it was abolished in the beginning of the 2000's years, some draftees were complaing because almost all the doctors were women assisted by a young female nurse or medical secretary and they were examined alone in an exam room but forced to strip completely and examined naked by the doctor in plain view of the other woman, some said that they fely humliated and that their dignity was not rrspected since they had a genitals inspection with retractio of the foreskin and inspection of pee hole and scrotum and palpation of testicles, a check of hernia and the worst a visual inspection of the anus area while bending over and spreading their buttocks. The doctors were hired the army to do that job and a few male doctors asked to do twhile women doctors graduating from medical school or university were interested.
It was for the reasons I give above in my message. And there was a secretary or nurse who was here just to watch the examination since all draftees said in their relation that she did not anything else than watch but it was also llogical, the woman doctor might work for all a day so she certainly liked to talk to an other woman a few times between the examination of two draftees to have a recess time, it was understandable, no matter if the draftees were more embarrassed, anyway they might comply to orders and they might be naked !.
It was and is still the same In Russia.
May be it was more embarrassing in Germany for young men aged of 18 or a few months less sometimes 17 (if they reached 18 age in the year ) but what could the authorities do to avoid it.
In France it was not the same at my time for military service, all examinations were performed in an only male environment, but it was the same at school, university and for job entrance or annual compulsory exams at jobs, they were always performed by women doctors.
To the question “ why women preferred these jobs compared to men ” I think that the answer is better why men don't want to do these jobs and the reason is that thsse jobs are too less paid !
