2) Or many women prefer using Dr as a gender-neutral title. This I totally get, but what about women who haven't completed a Ph.D.? I am open to change my but at the moment I can't see any reason to use a title which suggest so much self-importance.
Totally disingenuous take on what I am saying IMHO. Anyway, I've explained it as best as I can here:https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/1138456982468386817 …

It's the same. The title gives you a privilege you do not want removed, even though you agree the title is nonsensical.
-
Nope. You think a medical doctor listening to me is a privilege? That's them doing their job.
-
Which they should do regardless of your title. The fact they didn't is awful. But that doesn't provide support for your notion only lets me know those doctors were pricks.

Most/many doctors, to be fair.

If only they didn't have a title which made them somehow superior

-
And you think the title drives it? Do you think "Mr" drives sexism?
-
It was a joke. As I said before, no I don't think it drives it but it's unhelpful for all. Creates an 'us-them' mentality and makes us and our employers think we're more efficient than what we are. Or at least contributes.

Anyway, I'm going to go now. I've had enough controversy for a moment, I might sacrifice a goat or punch a baby instead.
