Des femmes médecins posent en bikini pour protester contre une étude jugée sexiste

Tout a commencé avec la publication d'un article dans la revue médicale The Journal of vascular Surgery d'août. Il s'agit d'une étude de "prévalence du contenu non professionnel sur les réseaux sociaux des jeunes chirurgiens vasculaires". L'article pointe notamment les photos "provocatrices" de médecins posant en bikini ou un verre d'alcool à la main. Jugeant les femmes médecins particulièrement visées, de nombreux professionnels y ont vu une manifestation du sexisme du milieu médical. En réaction, des praticiennes du monde entier se sont mises à poster des photos d'elles en maillot de bain, arguant que leur comportement en privé ne remettait pas en cause leurs compétences médicales. En soutien, des confrères leur ont emboité le pas.

Dr Bikini will save your life in the middle of the Ocean when you get hit by a boat. I will take you out of the ocean on a surfboard turned into a backboard, tie off your exsanguinating wound with my rash guard, take you to my under equipped urgent care, stabilize you in 1 hour with an IV, oxygen, morphine, fluids, Foley, and put your open femur fracture in Bucks traction, fly you by helicopter to a local hospital, order and interpret all the labs, xrays, CT scans, suture/staple all your wounds, splint your clavicle/ humerus and scapula fractures,sedate you, put a chest tube in your 5 rib fractured hemopneumothorax and fly you by jet to a specialty hospital in another country....all in my you guessed it  I am an Emergency Medicine Physician standing in solidarity with female vascular surgeons today. NEWSFLASH: FEMALE DOCTORS CAN WEAR WHATEVER THEY WANT. ⁣ Female doctors, nurses, NPs/PAs, all healthcare professionals - we can wear a bikini, a dress, or we can wear scrubs. This does not change how good we are at being a healthcare provider. We can wear WHATEVER we want on our free time, and still save your life. Sexism in medicine is alive and well. But we won’t let that stop us. In this ridiculous article published in a well respected medical journal, the vascular surgery authors sought out to determine how many vascular surgeons had participated in what they state is “inappropriate social media behavior”, which they defined as FEMALES IN BIKINIS - BUT GET THIS: NOT MEN IN BATHING SUITS.  Other topics considered “inappropriate” were Halloween costumes (should I take down my pregnant nun costume?) GUN CONTROL and politics.  The “study” was written by 3 men who created fake social media accounts to spy on applicants. My dad who was a triple boarded cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon would not approve of their study. Especially since he liked gardening in a speedo. Women in medicine: whether you’re a nurse, medical student, resident, an attending, post your favorite bikini pic/dress pic/halloween pic/anything today and tag me, and #medbikini . We have to drown out the sexism in medicine and keep it moving. It’s 2020 people. Sexism is cancelled.

⁣ Vocês já devem ter visto a polêmica do ARTIGO publicado no JOURNAL OF VASCULAR SURGERY que discutia e analisava comportamentos anti-profissionais em redes sociais de médicos e médicas jovens. ⁣ ⁣ Comportamentos como fotos de biquíni, fotos com roupas justas e curtas, segurando bebidas alcoólicas... foram considerados INADEQUADOS, que diminuem a CREDIBILIDADE e questionam a competência profissional.⁣ ⁣ Eu não sou a Júlia que faz medicina o tempo inteiro, eu tenho vida social, vou pra praia, vou pra festas....E não é uma roupa, uma foto, ou um copo de cerveja que vai diminuir minha competência. Não é o fato de ter trabalhado como modelo para lojas de biquíni e lingerie que me farão pior e uma profissional ruim.⁣ ⁣ Isso é medido apenas com o meu esforço! E não é nenhum pensamento retrógrado e machista que vai me fazer parar de ser ou postar o que eu tiver afim. A profissão que eu escolhi não me define, muito menos um artigo escrito (ironicamente) em sua maior parte por homens⁣ ⁣ #medbikini #mulhermedicina

Although no one will want to see this Dad bod here it is in full support of my female colleagues and this misogynistic study. Without my female mentor in medschool and the one in residency, I wouldn’t be the surgeon I am today. #MedBikini pic.twitter.com/nSlDtA5hTZ

  Et le mouvement #MedBikini a (timidement) gagné la France  

Je ne met pas vraiment ce type de photo, pas beaucoup sur Facebook et pas sur Twitter mais comme je trouve sexiste de dire que les femmes professionnelles ne devraient pas montrer une photo en bikini,je soutiens ce mouvement #MedBikini pic.twitter.com/ZdBefKHbwa

Cet article est une honte. Les médecins peuvent porter des bikinis aussi, ça n’altère en rien notre capacité professionnelle, et ça n’est pas un comportement non professionnel non plus ! Je soutiens le mouvement #medbikini #retractthearticle #sexism pic.twitter.com/2ZmvXDPYlb

L'auteur de l'article, Thomas Cheng, a rapidement présenté ses excuses, rappelant que son intention était d'inciter les chirurgiens à prendre conscience de l'image qu'ils renvoyaient à leurs patients et confrères. L'article a été finalement rétracté. [avec CNN.com]
