I believe this is because the health professional isn't invulnerable to social conditioning. We men have been trained by society to be hard and unsensitive and in turn we also have the impulse to be unsensitive towards men. It happens to me with my brothers. Some time ago I snapped about an issue and I was called dramatic. Since I suffer from mental illness that gave me a real humble dose about feelings and emotions but what can you expect from a person who hasn't, and had endure the full weight of cultural conditioning? Despite my pains, I do believe it will make me a better health professional in the future, or at least, that's my hope.
