    I mean it’s from the late 1800s. Not sure women were allowed to be doctors then. They might’ve come down with “hysteria” and sawed off the wrong leg. Cause the men were really keeping things in order.

      Technically it’s a gendered word, and a woman could be called a doctrix, similar to dominator/dominatrix.

      Edit: phrasing and add picture
