“Maybe it’s a testament to a hardy relationship that there was no resulting argument. Without thinking, I blurted out, ‘You are so sexist!’ I could immediately tell by my husband’s face, his upper eyelids and eyebrows lifted a bit, his mouth freeze-framed in a small ‘o’ — my exclamation surprised and insulted him. Maybe it was a completely unfair assessment; after all, he was standing at the sink, his hands covered in soap, washing the dinner dishes.

Can you be sexist and clean up after a meal?

Can you be sexist and love your spouse?

Can you be sexist and a female MD?”

Christine J. Ko is a dermatopathologist.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, “Confession from a female doctor: I am sexist.”
