Physicians have been accused by some feminist writers of having traditional views on sex roles that make them part of society's oppressive power structure and therefore responsible in part for the high incidence of psychologic problems and drug dependency among women. To assess whether physicians' attitudes towards women are indeed polarized in a traditional fashion, a sex role ideology questionnaire was given to all practising physicians belonging to the Manitoba Medical Association. Overall the physicians were found to be more feminist than male college students and a group of women with traditional beliefs. Psychiatrists, who had the highest adjusted group mean score on a sex role ideology scale (high indicating feminist beliefs), were found to be significantly more feminist than family practitioners, surgeons, and obstetricians and gynecologists, although not more so than internists, radiologists, pediatricians and anesthesiologists. These findings do not support the assumption that physicians have traditional views that reflect those of society. However, the significant differences between specialties emphasize the need for educating physicians and medical students in the behaviour of women.
一些女权主义作家指责医生对性别角色持有传统观念，认为这些观念使他们成为社会压迫性权力结构的一部分，因此在一定程度上要为女性中高发病率的心理问题和药物依赖负责。为了评估医生对女性的态度是否确实以传统方式两极分化，向所有属于曼尼托巴医学协会的执业医生发放了一份性别角色意识形态问卷。总体而言，发现医生比男性大学生和一群持有传统信仰的女性更具女权主义思想。在性别角色意识形态量表上调整后的组平均得分最高（高分表明具有女权主义信仰）的精神科医生，被发现比家庭医生、外科医生以及妇产科医生更具女权主义思想，尽管不比内科医生、放射科医生、儿科医生和麻醉科医生更甚。这些发现不支持医生持有反映社会传统观念这一假设。然而，不同专业之间的显著差异强调了对医生和医学生进行女性行为教育的必要性。
