title: Where have all the young men gone? Keeping men in obstetrics and gynecology.
abstract: Some of the fears and myths of the gender-discrimination role-reversal in gynecology are explored. Women entered male-advantaged medicine by acquiring skills traditionally believed to be masculine strengths (such as mathematics, chemistry, and analytical skills); by the same token, men may be able to adapt to the current female-advantaged environment by acquiring some traditionally female skills such as good communication and empathy.
