On August 31 the senior lecturer at the University of Exeter accused staff of consciously ignoring her academic title, something she sees as sexism.

She tweeted: “Hey Qantas, my name is Dr O’Dwyer. My ticket says Dr O’Dwyer,” she tweeted. “Do not look at my ticket, look at me, look back at my ticket, decide it’s a typo, and call me Miss O’Dwyer.

“I did not spend eight years at university to be called Miss.”

Haven't we moved on Derrida? I think we are now at Jean Baudrillard. It is not about social constructs but hyper-reality. We are in a world with so much information you end up believing nothing.

[quote]The term has implications of ‘too much reality’ – everything being on the surface, without mystery; ‘more real than reality’ – too perfect and schematic to be true, like special effects; and ‘para-reality’, an extra layer laid over, or instead of, reality. It is experienced as more real than the real, because of its effect of breaking down the boundary between real and imaginary. It is a ‘real’ without ‘origin or reality’, a reality to which we cannot connect.

It's hard to develop a cohesive social construct in a fire hose of information.
