 An interesting survey on gender differences

Here we present some interesting information about 5th and 6th grade. We did a survey to the students asking them only one simple question:

What's the name of your  pediatrician?

When their doctor was a man, 6 in total, the answers:

50% of the students just said the name (christian name)

33% used the name and surname 

16% used the word Doctor and surname

When their doctor was a woman, 27 in total, the answers: 

70% of the students just said the name (christian name)

29% used the name and surname 

0% used the word Doctor and surname 

 

Most of their pediatricians are women, however, not one is called Doctor.

We have to change this to have more gender equality.
