untapped struggle session - titles
personally i think if you demand to be called dr its not good. seems classist and extra schooling doesnt make you better than anyone.
i imagine "titles" literally came from aristocracy. the landed gentry would get their own titles, count or duke. but still, this is the society we live in and education isn't exactly meritless. its normal to want recognition for your accomplishments and titles exist for that.
i'm doing a phd (in linguisticz, sry i'm not stem) rn and honestly i can't wait to snobbily force people to call me dr lmao. i'm an immigrant and have a """"foreign"""" name and for most of my life people have responded to me introducing myself with "i'm not even gonna attempt to pronounce that hahahahahhhahaha". still seething over that time somebody told me to marry asap so i can have a normal last name already hahahaahhaha. and i can see that my dad, dr foreignname, is treated way better by random people than my mom, mrs foreignname. honestly can't wait to say "oh you can't pronounce it? :))) no worries, frau doktor is fine :)))"
god that fucking sucks, i'm sorry :( my advisor recommended me to german-ise my name, but he was coming from a good place - he had to do the same when he moved to germany as a phd student...
Yup! Except also once I have my math PhD, I'd like to get referred to as Dr just once in my life, because I've worked hard on this degree and will have spent like 7 years learning more math than I thought it was possible to learn. I'd never demand anyone call me doctor, but I sure would love it to happen naturally once or twice.

uncritical support to snobbily dunking on people doing a racist microaggression.

Good idea, Mr. Kissinger.

Do you intend to stay in academia after? Cause it comes a lot more naturally there than in casual / lay conversation.
Unfortunately no. I'd like to, but the job market is a bit tough right now.
Sounds good doc.
