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

As in, "I love working with you girls." 😑🤬
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??? 👎🏼#SoTiredOfThis
Here's the full tirade:
Drama
So true Queen. This mayo scrotes need to shut up! Their opinions are worthless
Unfortunately, for foids the wall doesn't discriminate
Foid "humor"
You are being treated as an equal. You want to be treated as a superior. No guys are complaining when someone says, "We did it boys!" When someone says "I love working with you" and you react negatively, you should really reevaluate your current mindset.
We wuz womxnz and shieeet
Exactly if youre not going to agree with the accepted narrative literally keep yourself safe
Based homo chud puts foid in her place
Dont worry Queen due to affirmative action we been able to reduce the number of scrotes in medicine down from 99% to less than 50% and its only growing bigger. AND that's a good thing!
Maybe next time you should reply, “yes, working with you boys is nice, too.”
No moid would ever care and especially wouldn't go on to twitter to complain about it

You poor thing. One thing you can do to earn more respect is to stop acting like a victim because a guy was trying to be nice to you. Call him a ‘boy’ to maks your point. People say nasty things to me all the time and you know what I do? I ignore them or make fun of them.:

Oh yes, Kyle the white man clearly has to deal with people demeaning him as a result of the historical sexist nature against his gender all the time. 🙄:

Chief of Surgery recently referred to me as a "very senior surgeon." I (unconsciously) gave him "side eye." He reacted to the look, I jokingly said "Am I really that old?" (while appreciating the respect). Women (in general) don't like words that suggest we are old. Us or them?:

Why do women in medicine have to ASK to be called by our titles? Why do we have to ASK not to be referred to as "girl"?? I appreciate not wanting to be thought of as old, but the solution is not to refer to us as children 👧🍭:

gasp "Are you saying minors are employed here?" "Huh?" "Well, the law restricts the hours minors can work, and the job duties they can be assigned." "Huh?" "You said girls work here. Minors. Is that not what you meant?":

Re-evaluate your mansplaining.😬🤦♀️Women. We are women. I left girlhood behind decades ago. Women are working professionals, especially in careers w/ centuries of sexism, but really in any adult capacity, we are women.:

I don’t quite understand the offense? He can still see you as an equal. What if he said to male peers, “I love working with you guys?” It’s not that serious.:

Hey, perhaps when a woman says it’s serious and it bugs her, you should just accept that and keep yourself out of the story?:

Do you ever find it exhausting when frantically looking for and finding offense where none was given or intended?:

Every time my husband and I watch any shows where they call women "girls", I yell "Women!" because it irks me so much. Medicine is based in misogyny and is still very much a boys' club.:

The internalized misogyny in these comments is sooooo glaring. Grown women are not “girls,” this is simply men infantilizing us so they don’t have to see us as equals or give us respect. These terms are so ingrained that people often don’t realize how disrespectful they are. Ugh!:
