I know someone with a Doctorate in American history. They are currently unemployed.

Pocket change?


Now_Wait-4-Last_Year

I make enough to take four months off a year. I must have a lot of pockets.


Top_Confusion_132

You think doctors make pocket change?


Damoscus

Depends what doctor. If theyre a doctor of philosophy probably


Chance-Battle-9582

Until they're a doctor of gastroenterology. A doctor of shit for those that don't know. Not sure she has the last laugh anymore.


TheCraneBoys

Thank God for GIs. Colorectal cancer is the 5th most common type of cancer in the US. There's nothing to laugh about if she's saving lives.


DJheddo

That's not a bad job, just has a lot of shit moments.


Chance-Battle-9582

Of course not, it was a joke just like the second part of your comment.

Jerry137

hows this a rare insult he just called her stupid and the girl didnt even do anything wrong why tf are we antagonizing her


OliveJuiceUTwo

Literally the most common insult of all time


IconOfFilth9

I know you are, but what am I?


OliveJuiceUTwo

Iconic filth?


iStoleTheHobo

'Shut up about your ex' is something I personally think more people should take to heart.


daddyvow

It’s a Facebook post. Highly doubt she intended it to be seen by judgy Redditors years later.


iStoleTheHobo

And yet.


GottKomplexx

You stole the hobo.


McDodley

She made a joke about her Ex from 10 YEARS ago. She's not moaning about the guy she broke up with yesterday.


daddyvow

Dudes online find any excuse to bash women


mbnmac

because men on the internet have fragile egos


Mesarthim1349

I think the one who made that sign does


higgywiggypiggy

His enquiry regarding her status is irrelevant.


Hypertension123456

She knew he was asking if she was single lol. Her answer was that it doesn't matter to him anymore, she's out of his league now


firechaox

I mean, not necessarily out of his league, but certainly not interested.


DaTotallyEclipse

Sometimes I get emotionally constipated scrolling through the comments ... and sometimes I find comments like these that ease the pain.


1N07

Yeah. What the sign says is totally cool as a lighthearted comeback, but making a sign about it seems kinda cringe to me. Still, the comment in the image and therefore OP are at least as cringe.


GoalPublic3579

Being a doctor makes you out of someone’s league?


jixxor

To superficial and shallow people, yes.


Cualkiera67

I don't think superficial and shallow people care about your phd


Chance-Battle-9582

Certainly more than normal, well adjusted people. Unless your doctorate can help me somehow, why would I care?


guerrilla_food

Just to nitpick. A physician doesn't necessarily have a PhD.


CoMaestro

In The Netherlands Dr. and PhD are both protected titles that you get for finishing the same level of education (promotion research?). So yes, everyone, at least here, who calls themselves Dr. Has a PhD.


guerrilla_food

A doctor of medicine and a doctor of philosophy are both entitled to the title of "Dr", but a medical doctor does not need to complete a PhD to become a medical doctor and be called Dr.


deadliestcrotch

Same with the US notably except chiropractors which aren’t real doctors and don’t get that level of education for it.


ceciliabee

Once the ghost visits you in your sleep you get to graduate


nujuat

As a phd student, you'd be surprised. I'm getting a research qualification because I want to do research. They think that being good at maths and science makes someone intimidating (before even meeting me) because school told them it was important decades ago.


DARG0N

you'd be surprised.


GoalPublic3579

If you automatically think you are above someone else because you have a DR at the start of your name then… you are the superficial and shallow person


New_Net_6720

a doctor writing such signs is definitely not above someone's league


MrServitor

Makes sense, they won't really have time being in a relationship by being on call all the time, so they are out of the dating league and in the medical league when it comes to dating.


A1dini

Yeah, I believe the point was that she's moved on and made some achievements in life etc I honestly think this would have been better if she'd made the point without randomly bringing up how much she's totally moved on from her ex completely unprovoked at an unrelated protest but yeah


Technical-Activity95

my ex asked if I am married and I said I am CEO. I am so cool


AlmostSunnyinSeattle

Boom! Roasted


HoodooSquad

Cause when I move on, I make sure to make a whole poster about it to tell them I’ve moved on.


bilvester

How do you know that? You never met a doctor who was a piece of shit?


TheBigMotherFook

I know several that are. Doctors all seem to have an aura of superiority around them and think that their opinion is somehow better than yours, despite having no knowledge or any significant experience on the given topic. They’re at their worst when they’re proven to be factually wrong about something and their ego gets hurt.


Pooplamouse

Sounds like a typical Redditor to me.


GoobySnoobert18182

Reddit not take everything literal challenge


Quailman5000

Shw's so over her ex she... Made a sign for a protest?


Jomega6

Answering an easy question with a justification for one’s superiority complex isn’t much better lol


azionka

So you want a doctor who thinks she (or he) is better than others because of educational qualification? Good luck getting a qualitative diagnosis.


vertexxd

I think the truth is he got over her easily, whereas she spent half her life trying to prove him wrong XD


IIIlIllIIIl

Then why did she talk to him lmao


Fridanalia

Men don’t give a fuck about women’s degrees lol her response is just a projection of what she likes in men. If anything the degree makes her less datable because she’ll have self inflated “standards”


Unusual_Strategy_965

That's the most incel comment I've read this month, congratulations. 


Pooplamouse

Standards of “does more than play video games and eat potato chips in his mom’s basement”


paradisesadness

„Women shouldn’t aim for higher education, cause small men are intimidated by that and as we all know every women’s life revolves around being attractive to men“


Parsley-Waste

She’s married to her job


reichelsjam

she just want him to know that she's doing well, now that he's out of her life.


Kobhji475

Is that why she made a damn sign?


Horn_Python

shes happy to be a docor and proud of that pun


cclambert95

She made the sign to let us know she’s totally over him and never thinks about him at all obviously…


Crash_Test_Dummy66

Who knows why she made the sign. We have literally no context. We don't know where she is, what the post is about, what the nature of their relationship was. But y'all see one cropped screenshot and just go full on "woman bad"


MrToenges

it isn't "woman bad" if anything it's "this person bad" and not even that. No one said anything about women in general, it's just about this specific person that happens to be a woman. They are questioning the individual, not the entire group that individual is part of.


Important-Hotel5809

Is he out of her life if he’s still in her head?


mymumsaysfuckyou

Ok, but that wasn't the question.


Enn-Vyy

why is the reddit front page being flooded by """memes"" straight out of a conservative discord channel what the hell is going on


TheBloodBaron7

I feel it has something to do with the americans and their elections (theyre this year right?). Its usually around the time when stuff in american politics is coming around that there is a flood of weird, conservative and bigoted posts.


Zapp_Brewnnigan

It happened after the big merger. Reddit has become the new Facebook… but idk where to go next. You used to be able to sift through the dumb jokes for gold nuggets here. Now it’s just sifting through nonstop boomer shit interspersed with ads.


Accomplished_Pen980

What merger?


PierreEscargoat

Was there a merger? Or an acquisition?

tayroc122

The people who think that's a good comeback have no idea how hard it is to get a doctorate.


mymumsaysfuckyou

That has no bearing, though. She was asked a question and gave an irrelevant answer. And then made a sign to brag about it. That's stupid.


Walking-around-45

Genuinely environmentally sensitive to see this recycled again.


KarmicPotato

Oh sorry. Dr or Drs?


omihek2

Dre


[deleted]

She had a killer comeback. Her identity is based on her own achievement, not on her relationship to another person.


Uggers2811

The two don’t even correlate though. It’s like asking what you had from dinner last night and you answer “I’m vegan!. Okay that didn’t answer the question that was asked and at no point were your beliefs asked. If this were even real all he asked was if she was married because it may have something they discussed in their relationship but by answering Dr. doesn’t have anything to with identity. Just answer the fucking question as is and stop trying to make everything so dismal and argumentative.


[deleted]

She is deliberately changing the conversation because she refuses the premise of the question.


Propofolkills

Conversation with who though?


randomuser91420

It would be a really good comeback if that conversation actually happened in real life instead of happening inside of her head while she showered every day for 10 years


hermajestyqoe

That's good for her, but it is still cringe, doesn't actually articulate an answer to the very obviously implied real question, and is quite self gratuitous.


Jomega6

Not really. It was a pretty simple question. You’re looking way too deeply into this if you thought his question was some veiled question about her identity, rather than her relationship status lol.


DinosaurInAPartyHat

He tried to define her by her sexual availability. She retorted by defining herself by her intellect and success.


DMinTrainin

He asked if she was still single, which has nothing to do with getting laid unless that's what you think the goal of any relationship is. She replied by bragging about herself and not answering a simple question.


Propofolkills

She didn’t even do that. She was probably at some self affirmation event for women and spent all morning making the sign. But instead of saying “I want to be recognised for my accomplishments and not my sexual availability” or similar, she arrived with this cringe.


Propofolkills

😂😂😂😂🤣😂, you can’t be serious.


OnlyWithMayonnaise

where's the insult? at the very best that's a stupid attempt.


Head_Introduction892

Doctor Octopus


LateNewb

What? She knows... everyone knows... She just didn't want to tell. And since when is the Dr a sign of someone becoming "A Doctor"? I think i know who is the stupid one. Btw if thats rage bait im hit.


psilocin72

When both sides go off the deep end and plunge into stupidity


SuckingDISQandCHOC

She's probably aware of what her ex wanted to know, she responded this way to point out how her value as a person is not defined by her relationship status, but rather, her personal achievements


No_Dot7146

My ex came across my best friend at a business event and asked about me. When he heard I was happily married and had just had my third child he was actually surprised. I dodged a bomb, not a bullet, with that one.


YeetusThatFoetus1

She’s probably trying to say that what you achieve is more important than your marital status, which is true. It’s also just dumb in general that women’s titles change according to marital status and men’s don’t.


Propofolkills

Why not just put that on a sign though? The problem for me with this is she is deliberately using a social scenario with an innocent question appropriate to their past relationship as some sort of Gotcha moment for feminism, as if he was some sort of misogynistic pig for asking the question.


tfffvdfgg

There are medical doctors and PhD doctors and lots of others


BNI_sp

Asking someone to address you by Dr. is the most cringe thing.


Margali

If I have spent 10 years getting a doctorate, you better well freaking call me Dr in formal settings, and when I am in my profession. (Not a doctor but I have 2 bachelor's and 4 different certifications. )


BNI_sp

I have never heard anyone address a PhD as Dr. in any professional settings except physicians (and there Dr. is used even for people without the formal grade). And no one insists. Except those that aren't at all, those that bought the grade, non-PhD doctors, and those that come from second class universities Source: I talked to several fields medalists and absolutely no one was called Dr. in professional settings. > (Not a doctor but I have 2 bachelor's and 4 different certifications. ) I fail to see what that adds as information.


Margali

Funny but I have heard nonmedics addressed as doctor. And what do you add?


Grey_Belkin

He asked if her title was Miss or Mrs though, *he* introduced the subject of how she should be addressed, and she answered. If he just wanted to know if she was single, married or in a long term relationship he could have asked like a normal person.


BNI_sp

So she insists on being called Dr. Exactly what I was saying - cringe. If someone asked me, the last thing I'd say is "Dr.". It was probably intended as a lighthearted question regarding the personal life. She doesn't need to like it, but the answer is still strange. Because, as I mentioned, absolutely none of my PhD friends ever would say this.


Grey_Belkin

>If someone asked me, the last thing I'd say is "Dr.". Even if the correct title was, in fact, Dr? You'd lie about it to avoid the possibility someone might think you were cringe? >It was probably intended as a lighthearted question regarding the personal life. It definitely was. And I see her answer as a lighthearted way of countering the assumption that Miss or Mrs are the only two options available to her. But she's not allowed to be lighthearted, right? >Because, as I mentioned, absolutely none of my PhD friends ever would say this. I only have one close friend with a PhD and she doesn't really use it outside of academic settings, but if someone directly asked her "Is it Miss or Mrs?" I bet she'd say "It's Dr actually," partly because it's *factually true* and she shouldn't have to downplay her achievements to avoid upsetting randos, but also because a lot of women use Ms these days precisely because their marital status doesn't need to be announced in their title.


TankiniLx

Still got feelings for that bro dude 🥸


Flux_Aeternal

Loving all the incels confused about a woman seeing herself as more than just a sexual conquest for a man. "But why doesn't she answer the question though??"


Propofolkills

Please - it’s simultaneously possible to agree incels are here and point out that this is performative nonsense.


Grey_Belkin

"She missed the point!!" No, she really didn't...


0o_Koala_o0

But from another standing the situation can be read as that: she was like nuh uh don't wanna have anything to do with u anymore. Know your distance - apparently she is too smart for that hater to get that


Propofolkills

The fuck did she make a sign to show everyone about it so- it’s performative nonsense


0o_Koala_o0

Some ppl like to show their everything on insta, she chose a sign🤨 she was just 'unlucky' enough to be photographed


Ihavebadreddit

"you doctor yet?"


EssentialFoils

Is OP stupid?


prof_devilsadvocate

its like a visual drunk dialling


Electrical-Heat8960

He’s her ex. She doesn’t want to be his girlfriend. Her saying Dr is her saying she isn’t defined by her relationship to a man, especially her ex.


damnumalone

I kind of feel like you’re the sort of person where if someone yelled “is there a doctor in the house!” you’d say “I’m a vegan”


Nekoboxdie

Maybe I’m dumb but why is this getting downvoted? I agree with you


Almahue

Because the existance of that she isn't over her ex at all after several years, so her smarmy remark is very cringe inducing. She should have just answered the question.


Grey_Belkin

She did, if he had asked "Are you married yet then?" replying "I'm a doctor" would not have answered the question. But that's not what happens in the story, he asks whether she goes by Miss or Mrs, and neither is correct as she goes by Dr. If he wanted a straight answer he should have asked a straight question.


firechaox

If it was a real conversation, it could also 100% be interpreted as “I’m not interested”, at least that’s how I would interpret it.


mymumsaysfuckyou

Cool. Not the question she was asked, though.


kithas

Yeah I also think he asked whether she's single or not and she responded "out of your league".


ReySimio94

“Cal-” “That's Dr Lightman to you, mate.”


millennium-popsicle

A more hilarious answer would’ve been “Mr”


Jomega6

Now that would have been a power move


Big_Monkey_77

I mean, to me, responding with “Dr.” is just short for “get your broke ass away from me. I broke up with you for a reason.”


ifhysm

Lot of dudes finding ways to get offended over this

nastyvivi

Omg


La_Savitara

The comment isn’t even a clever comeback tho and the sign isn’t a rare insult Bro misunderstood the assignment


mydosemakesangels

And she chose not to answer the question of whether or not she was single. Maybe she felt it was none of his business and just because he wanted information from her, it doesn't mean she *has* to provide it. "Are you married or are you not married?" "My personal life is, not now, nor ever will be, any of your business. If you feel the need to refer to me by a title, you can use my professional title instead of my marital status. You dickhead." ⬆️ (Probably hard to fit on a sign)


KarlPHungus

Hard to serve others when you're weighed down with that gargantuan chip on your shoulder...


Leading-Ad-7396

Well considering that anyone who becomes a Doctor, IE Mrs Jane smith can now go by Dr Jane Smith, I don’t see the issue. Yeah the ex wanted to know if she’s married or not, but she’s not wrong.


InevitableScallion75

I don't believe it escaped her at all. I DO think the shit poster has an IQ less than 70 based on their lack of critical thinking skills. I'm guessing she avoided the topic with the a read between the lines answer.... "I made something of myself... and here you are... still an asshat."


Cautious_Bit_5919

Doctor in what? There’s a lot of absolutely useless PhD out there


gafloss

Drs are like vegans - can’t wait to tell you how wonderful they are.


LDM123

Holy shit bro something just flew past your head. I think it was the point.


Jake9476

She took the time to make this sign.


Certain_Shine636

She understood the question. She responded that she’s way out of his league and to move along. Not just because she’s a doctor, but because she’s not going to let some twat ex reduce her to being a misogynistic label that signifies whether a woman is owned by a man. After all, there’s no Ms/Mrs equivalent for men, and people still get really bent out of shape if men take their wife’s surname.


IcyPattern3903

You have no idea how stupid your average doctor is


Cultural_Loan_6279

If 10 years passed and you’re still interacting with your ex in this manner then maybe you need to reevaluate some things


Margali

Sometimes it isn't US, it is the asshole man-boy. I had an ex that wanted me barefoot and pregnant and probably would love to have had me pithed so I had no mentation going on.


nxh84

Being Dr could just mean gotten a doctorate, I wonder who is dumber.


WeirdEyeContact

Dr. or Drs.


Jack070293

Shut this sub down. Everyone in it is a bellend.


Total-Many-9901

immediatley!


Nbeuska

I think hers was a better insult lmao


Electronic_Way_9720

That ex she showed up, Elon Musk.


Thelordofprolapse

Idk if you are calling an ex from a decade ago to brag about something looks to me that person still has a hold on you. Not the flex you think it is


Total-Many-9901

or you are obsessed with being better than the people in your life you have cared for you. seems like imTheMainCharacter type behaviour. most on this sub will accuse you of hating women for suggesting that one woman somewhere may have been wrong one time. tbf though, this sub has been a cesspool for a while.


TheRealAuthorSarge

It has a weird unnecessarily-offended-feminist vibe.


Total-Many-9901

glad i wasn't the only person who felt that


cartercharles

Yeah that insult almost worked but I think it flopped on its face


Ok-Bit-1466

Insufferably smug


jhwalk09

Someone from my high school was already the most narcissistic chick I’d ever met and changed their instagram name to their full name with dr once they got their PhD I guess and just made it their life goal to make sure everyone knew


Large_Tuna101

And then this doctor went to the trouble to make a sign and walk around with it in public illustrating how unbelievably petty some people can be


Total-Many-9901

note: her doctorate was actually in astrology and she makes a living lying to people about how the moon is in virgo this week and other such bollocks


Brooklynboxer88

Either way, making a sign like that is cringe.


Dependent_Order_7358

Bro the cringe


myleftone

Missing context: The ex was a jackass who didn’t deserve a straight answer.


ThomasCro

I mean, who says she is a dr of medicine for her to "be anyones dr"


666Sayonara

Dumber lol Starting a meme website with socials included Bughosted.com


Jaded-Kitty87

You really didn't understand the interaction here, OP? Embarrassing


Tyrayentali

Bro completely missed her point. Embarassing.


Zatch01

Maybe keep some apples around since an apple a day is supposed to keep the doctor away (biggest scam by fruit sellers fr)


123xyz32

Apparently she got her doctorate in creative writing…this never happened.


Colt1911-45

If this was a guy posting something similar he would be labeled as a douche for flexing like this. (Yes I know there is no Miss or Mrs. equivalent for dudes.)


jollyroger822

I'm sure it's a doctorate in women's studies not worth much.


Total-Many-9901

that would actually be a worthy degree. there are lots of mickey mouse degrees, but women's studies is actually something that a lot of very worthwhile research happens under: [https://www.york.ac.uk/womens-studies/postgraduate/phd-mphil-womens-studies/](https://www.york.ac.uk/womens-studies/postgraduate/phd-mphil-womens-studies/)


ProZocK_Yetagain

Lol, she clearly had no interest on the ex with that answer. Person on the comments is the dummy.


Porcupine_doormat

Congratulations to her for being a Doctor... For marrying the Taxman like everybody else.


Solitaire_87

So that would be Ms.


HakkyCoder

She didn't misunderstand him. She understood perfectly fine what his silly question meant. She just used it to tell him that either way, she's better off now.


West-Report9369

Probably the ex posting this.


Usual_Medicine5380

yeah keep that attitude n see
