'Intent on disrespect.' NC official ousted after refusing to use Black doctor's title

1. White privilege, also overt misogyny. I've worked with many many many doctoral level professionals.

And experienced male physicians or other doctoral-level senior employees referring to other MALE doctoral degree-holding professional employees as "Dr. ___" but ALWAYS referring to similarly trained women by their first name, even in professional meetings or conferences. This isn't a rare phenomenon. One such encounter led to some of the women trying to professionally correct him (and I'm told some of the male colleagues did so as well behind the scene, to no avail). The attitude by these cretins is to turn it into a "women are so sensitive" bullshit.

Only EEO lawsuits ultimately change some of this behavior until they die off, but even so, the women pay the price, career-wise. It is infuriating.

I'm glad this relic got the boot.
