Do you believe Ben Shapiro suffers from little man syndrome?

[FCDALLASFAN]

Apparently, Mr. Shapiro has an issue with individuals that have earned a doctorate being called “doctor”.

In my opinion, if you spent the time and money the title belongs to you. You earned it. No one can take it from you.

It doesn’t matter if it is a medical degree or not. A medical degree just means you are a physician by trade. Nothing more and nothing less.

[babysteph]

I think that’s ridiculous. If someone puts in the time, effort, intention, consistency, sacrifices, etc that it takes to get their doctorate, they can ask to be called whatever they wish. This is a semantic issue, not one of entitlement. People with Doctorate degrees are called doctors. People with scrubs and glasses are also called doctors. He needs to grow up lmaooo.

[nerdybutlazy]

I dont even know who this guy is but if he doesn't have a PhD he should shut up

[ShortCircuit]

I believe the point that he was making was:
A) That anyone who insists that people refer to them with the "Dr." honorific are obnoxious douches, regardless of the field in which they earned their doctorate, including the medical field. And he alleged that that is something that Jill Biden does, which I don't know if that's true or not. But if it is, then she is also an obnoxious douche.
and B) That colloquially, we associate the "Dr." honorific with medical doctors, so people who have doctorates in other fields using the honorific is misleading, and might even be dangerous if there is a medical emergency and someone implied that they had medical expertise by using the honorific when they don't. And that Ben himself doesn't use the honorific despite having a doctorate in law, for these very reasons.

Now, I don't really care that much. I don't think it's very important. But I don't necessarily disagree with the points he was making. Plus, I just think the concept of honorifics is stupid in general.

No, I don't think Doctor Shapiro has little man syndrome. He seems very confident. He seems very well educated apparently graduating highschool age 16, University at 20 and then with a distinction from harvard. He is also a talented violinist. Has written 2 books by 20, was a columnist by the age of 20, hosts a TV show, is a speaker/lecturer , has his own legal consultantancy firm, wrote 11 books.
I get what he's saying, like I've an aunt who has a doctorate in social work, she slogged through the whole thing and my Dad did a lot of the course work for her. My aunt spent a lot of money yet 10 years later still works behind a till in liydil

[hellionthesagereborn]

No. I mean its a stupid argument, we also have doctorates in history, philosophy, psychiatry, physics etc. which would all be equally applicable in that situation. I get what he is saying i. e. our educational system is shit and that degree is really nothing more then a piece of paper showing your certified to indoctrinate others, but that is the fault of the schools and the system and has nothing to do with the title (which generally amounts to some one who has a high degree of knowledge and skill in a particular field).

[NYCQuestions1976]

Medical doctors, surgeons, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other physicians of that ilk should be held in a higher regard then someone who earned a Doctorate in a non-medical field. It's not the same. Though I don't see why it matters to Ben Shapiro.

[Tiny_Wife]

Doctor Ben Shapiro☝

[NYCQuestions1976]

@Tiny_Wife Fair enough.

[Celtero]

So you support people being able to pat themselves on the back with a title that just means they spent time and money on extra education despite making it so they're confused with practitioners of medicine? Cool.

Also, you're a shithead, kys.

[cnhinton]

I think he suffers from "Annoying Shrieking Pseudo-intellectual Syndrome".

[NorthwestRider]

I think Benny boy wears dresses and gets fuck by strong manly men for how many times he got triggered by a man wearing a dress lol

[Tiny_Wife]

You've fantastic used about this? Are you the strong manly man or the guy in the dress?

[Not_Average]

Not at all. I think he's a little jewish nerd and embraces that consistently. This opinion doesn't of his has nothing to do with his stature. Literally nothing.

[cth96190]

No. Ben is of average height.
I have suspected, since the first time that I saw him speak, that Ben may be somewhere on the autism spectrum.

[FCDALLASFAN]

I guess everyone have their own idea of average.

I agree. He definitely has something going on.

It might not be completely his fault.

[Anonymous]

aww. You don't like it when people throw shade at your commie buddies? haha. Get used to it. The same way you libtards attacked Melania Trump, and even Trump's children for weird random personal shit. But you thought it was okay then. You're probably just mad that the Dominion voting machines were just proven to have a 68% error rate, which is extremely high for anyone wanting to claim a fair election. Good luck in January buddy.

[Jersey2]

Only assholes call them sleeves Dr when there are not an MD. The vast majority of them do not. It’s silly.

[Marriedwith2]

It has much more to do with her sex and the color of her skin, but he is too much of a coward to say that... typical right wing male

[Tiny_Wife]

Thought it was about Biden's wife pretending to be a doctor?

[Zeus_66]

Sounds like you need a little education in why and how doctoral degree holders are supposed to APPROPRIATELY use their credentials.

More like small penis syndrome.

[Tiny_Wife]

Its my belief that guys who use small penises as an insult have in fact little ones themselves and feel ashamed.

[IlluminatiExposed0]

@Tiny_Wife I guess you don't see the irony in your own comment.
