Among those with a Facebook account, 193 (96%) accounts were visible to the public (ie, not set to private), 136 (68%) were male, 51 (25%) were integrated residents, 187 (93%) held MD degrees, and 84 (42%) self-identified as a vascular surgeon (Table I). There were 46 (23%) Facebook accounts that displayed evidence of either unprofessional or potentially unprofessional content where four (2%) accounts had clearly unprofessional content and 61 (30.4%) contained evidence of potentially unprofessional content (Table II). There were no instances of HIPAA violations and the most common forms of potentially unprofessional content were holding alcohol (25 accounts, 12.4%) and controversial political/religious/social comments (20 accounts, 10%). Inappropriate attire included pictures in underwear, provocative Halloween costumes, and provocative posing in bikinis/swimwear. Controversial political and religious comments were any derogatory or demeaning comments directed to ward an individual or specific faith. Controversial social comments were largely limited to comments centered around specific stances on abortion and gun control.
So, yeah, willing to bet that the actual story here is that this would-be doctor got offended at being (indirectly) told "a lot of your public social media stuff is not appropriate if you're going to be a doctor" and decided to scream "SEXIST!" instead of just switching the setting to private.
The one article (about unprofessional behavior) is still available online, if anyone is interested: https://www.jvascsurg.org/article/S0741-5214(19)32587-X/pdf
