"kiddo" is the part that really sets me off.

Well, sure. That's the misogynistic, condescending flourish.

Thank you. I got my hard-earned PhD in 2018, and this really irritated me.

The term doctor started in the Catholic Church, then expanded to academics, then expanded to medicine. I get tired of how often people disparage academics for the use of the term as somehow co-opting physicians

in the West, all university degrees were to some level ecclesiastical when all of this started

As son of a Ph.D, I was taught that non-medical doctoral degrees were for halls of academe only. In direct address on campus, dad always favored being called “Professor” over Doctor”. These conventions vary in other countries. Here, “Mrs” should be fine, but who cares, really?

Everyone should care. She earned a degree and she deserves the same respect as anyone. We call PhDs doctor because they are. If she states she would rather be called professor or something else that is fine. But until that day she is Dr Biden.

What about DNPs in a clinical context? Or DPTs?
