I think a male midwife would be great, I don't know if others would agree but I kinda think that men are more attentive in attending womens issues. from my own experience with a female GP, I found that it was males who took my "women only" things more seriously. I kinda feel that a female can become a bit relaxed about it all. I think a a man who takes on a role that is going to involve seeing only female patients is there because they have a real special intrest in that area & will have a true passion for the job. I know that females in these roles have passion as well, don't get me wrong.
That my opinion anyway.
