I thought it was common to refer to holders of a doctorate as "doctor" in an educational setting. Am I missing something?

Ah, a person who isn't a doctor, who never went through the effort necessary to receive a doctorate, who never conducted actual doctorial research, and who has never had a voice in the educational process of selecting doctors, thinks he knows what a "doctor" is. If the highest levels of scholarship think the woman deserves to be called a "doctor" for her work in education, then I'm going to defer to their judgement.

The reason is literally "This thing doesn't coincide with the most common layman usage of the term, therefore it isn't included in the definition at all!".

The idea that "Doctor" can only refer to "medical doctors" is actually a fairly recent phenomenon. It's had a more scholarly inference since its inception, and it's really only idiots that argue against that. The word literally comes from the Latin word for "teacher".

Wonder if anybody on twitter has told that turd that the medical field adopted that title way after it was used in academic sense to make them look more legit.

Since medicine before the 1900s was largely "fuck it, yolo"

Ah, the good old days of barber surgeons. They delivered babies, amputated their arms, and then gave em a nice close shave. The full experience!

Yeah, just read through this trash as it popped up on my twitter feed. The sad thing is that it will resonate with the anti-intellectualism in American culture. Like, the only reasons MDs are respected is because it's common knowledge that the job carries a high salary. Pretty gross.

Medicine appropriated the term from academics when medical training wasn't scientifically rigorous to count as a PhD, so they created the professional degree MD and maintained the title.

while the article is bs, I also was under the impression she had an MD.

Who with a PhD actually refers to themselves as Dr. lol? For e.g. my dad has a PhD, my boss has a PhD from Harvard, my VP has a PhD from UC Berkeley. None of them say hey I'm Dr. ______

they're also not trying to lend credence and gravitas to a national political figure

Yeah, I doubt she does so commonly. But when putting yourself out in a public space, especially as a woman who will immediately be discounted, you can't really fault her.

I haven't ever referred to myself as Dr. and only a few loonies ever tell people to call them doctor. A notable exception for this would be a woman though who is establishing herself because people, such as the one this topic is about, love to talk down to and mansplain to qualified women while they themselves don't know what the fuck they're talking about

Go to any college campus in the United States and look at the names on office doors. Literally every college professor or academic researcher who has a doctorate would be referred to as Dr. _____, its an academic term. And, as it just so happens, Jill Biden is a college professor.

all yall edumacated individuals must have missed a point of context which i admittedly left out, lets try again

Who with a PhD actually refers to themselves as Dr. in everyday life lol? it's super douchey tbh and shows that you put a lot of self worth into some niche ass field and niche ass research area that < 100 people in the world could really even understand (averages right)

but im mainly just trolling i suppose, i did write that after just waking up
