The uproar surrounding PhDs has been at the center of ongoing discourse, capturing the attention of individuals from various fields. The recent submission by Dr. Zee, a Sociologist, on the topic of higher education and women empowerment has sparked controversy, with some claiming it to be unrelated to the discussion at hand. This has caused quite a stir, particularly among those whose egos may have been bruised.
It\’s disheartening to witness women pulling each other down instead of empowering and supporting one another. As an Industrial Economist with a PhD, I am acutely aware of the limited representation of women in the globish arena, with less than 2% holding this esteemed degree. This places a constant spotlight on individuals like myself, expected to meet sky-high deadlines and juggle various responsibilities amidst the current economic recession and high rates of unemployment.
Despite my busy schedule, I have taken the time to read through all the comments in my DMs. However, I firmly believe that my expertise and unique perspective will be best shared at the appropriate time.
I refuse to let any slander towards PhD holders diminish the value of our contributions.
Let\’s not forget that the pursuit of a PhD is no easy feat. It requires dedication, resilience, and a thirst for knowledge. So let\’s celebrate and uplift one another, rather than tearing each other down.
Let us use this platform to engage in meaningful and productive discussions that will drive positive change and progress.

Great and well said
