Clownfish - so what you are saying is that in the OBGYN men don't offer the seat because a woman might say no? That makes zero sense and they should not offer, they should just get up and indicate to her to take the seat and walk away (or not sit down in the first place and sit somewhere else). They have no need to be there in the first place except to offer support to their wives but no real need, unlike me and other women who have appointments to attend. That reasoning is just pure BS
