Hi there. I appreciate your responses! I hope all is well with you and your family during this time.
Many cultures up until the middle of the 1940's all understood that women and men had to be very modest. If you see many cultures had womens hair covered and her figure was well covered. I bring this point just to show how many cultures how important this is for family purity. This is not to say there are cultures that do this to control women. Now Jews have a Biblical command from God that women must be covered up and their hair fully covered and it is derived from Numbers 5:18 and all of chapter 5 is devoted to "adultery". This commandment can seem "imposing" especially like you understood, that women don't think like men. Men see a pretty figure and they simply are driven to her attraction (hence the industry). But here is the perspective of Jews.
If you have a Gem, do you walk downtown and show it to the world? Or do you protect it? Again I know women don't see it, but 99/100 times if a man lays eyes, on you, he is thinking immorally. Men are just prone to this. This is why men have a very hard time holding a relationship and now that "everything is permissible", men have a free pass to be animals without any consequences, leaving many women broken and hurt and it leads to the product of things like Feminism etc (which I understand).
No, if women don't want to deliver babies and there is a shortage, then yes a women can certainly go to the male doctor but my point is, you still have an option, a choice to see how much effort you place into planning for a female doctor. This applies to anything where there is opposite sex interaction.
Billy Graham lived by this, "I never will be alone in a room with another woman but my wife". Amazing! Many Jews don't know anything about Billy Graham, but they all know this aspect of him because Jews are commanded not to do this. If you were his wife, how safe and comfortable would you feel? If I were a woman I would hug him and never let go just for that point alone!
