Just had a male physician colleague refer to me as a "girl."

As in, "I love working with you girls." πŸ˜‘πŸ€¬

I have a PhD. Teach at Stanford & UCSF. Wrote 2 books. On the board of international pain orgs. What will it take to be considered an equal in medicine??? πŸ‘ŽπŸΌ

We are doctors, not "girls." We are women, not schoolchildren πŸ‘§πŸ»πŸ­

If confused, call us by our TITLES.πŸ’₯

Men don't have to ask. Why do we??

Pretty good reach for a Girl πŸ’…πŸ»πŸŽ‰πŸ–•πŸΌ

To be clear, I have no issue with the term "girl" in certain contexts - pop songs, Girls Night Out, ballfields.

But when a male colleague refers to the men in the room as "Dr." and you as a "girl," there's a clear problem. πŸ™„

What's TRULY upsetting is how many folks desperately need someone to make them sandwiches 😞😭😫

Any volunteers?? We all know sandwiches don't make themselves πŸ₯ͺ*
