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
#SoTiredOfThis 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??
