Vancouver women-only pharmacy to be North America's first

where is the HRC on this obvious discrimination ?

I say "great"...we can add "picking up prescriptions" to the list of "women's work", along with laundry, dishes, vacuuming, etc.

The taliban would be impressed.

"Women felt, 'I want a woman pharmacist. I want to know that when I walk in the door, I'm going to be getting sound women-centred care from a pharmacist. I can talk to her about emergency contraception or a vaginal infection, something that is very personal and intimate,'" said Duncan


Is it just me or should you not talk to your doctor before discussing this with a pharmacist?

Why? Why do you need a women�s only pharmacy? A guy can't even join the cub scouts or a gym or even go into a hockey dressing room with out it being "gender neutral" but women can have doctors, pharmacies, gyms, clubs, etc etc were it's women only. Talk about double standards.

I know, even sacred golf (Gentelmen Only Ladies Forbidden) has been infultrated by women.

Why is methadon given by a pharmacy?

I take it the next thing that we will see is a gay-only pharmacy...

I think it's just you, actually.

A pharmacist is quite the resource, but I'll let some medical person expand on that. I'm not an expert by any means...

Its funny you dont see men complaining about female doctors or pharmacist when it comes to their prostate or male problems.

Me thinks its just of bunch of man hating lezbos that got their man hating pharmacy legitimized. Either that our are women really that insecure and neurotic, vagina's aint that special or superior to our wee-wees. Suppose to be equal I thought.

I'll be filing a complaint with the BC human rights commision if I can, if not I'll go federal, I'll keep ya posted.

To be honest, I tend to put more faith in my pharmacist than my own doctor. My pharmacist has caught something my doctor missed at least once that I know of.

Good luck, the last guy who tried that got laughed out of the building (the case against a women�s only gym). So much for compassion for the male gender at the BCHRC .

Quite the opposite for me, when I go see my doc, he's aware of my family history, my history and anything he should be concearned about. When I go to the pharmacist by my house theres adifferent person there every time and they hardly speaka de engligh.
You may want to look into a different doc, I'd be pissed if he missed something a pharmacist could see.
While I agree they are a reasource I use them for things like instructions on the meds I need, what I can and Can't consume while on them and ect. not a diagnosis.

No its not just you. I find this bizarre...I talk to my doctor (male), I do have a female gyno...but my pharmacist is male as well and I talk to him about anything, he is a professional.

My doctor (male) does my pap-smears too, not my (female) gyno...
