It seemed quite obvious that the guy wasn't dismissing any of the women's own experiences and only providing his own personal perspective.

Why the rush to assume malice?

It's not malicious, it's a form of apathy and I totally get the gp's reaction: all these women are saying their experience is X but my (presumably male) experience is Y so why not Y is dismissive. It's not intentionally malicious but it is casually apathetic to the issue being raised.

Most discrimination is not malicious. It's a whole bunch of small acts of apathy.
