The Landing: Why are female doctors introduced by first name while men are called 'Doctor'?.

Why are female doctors introduced by first name while men are called 'Doctor'?.

Here's the original journalistic article we talked about last night.

Neumann, J. (2017). Why are female doctors introduced by first name while men are called 'Doctor'?. Washingtonpost.com.

My etiquette note to myself... remember to not drop "Dr." when introducing a woman with a doctorate.

Cheers,

Peggy Lynn

Interesting read Peggy Lynn. I wonder if it is more common in the U.S. As 'Dr' Conrad and I mentioned last night, we have never experienced this, but I do very little work in The States.

Hello Peggy Lynn,
Thanks for sharing the article and such an interesting dilemma which reflects an abundance of outdated social norms. Also, thanks for handling the session when the technology was glitching out.
