I can respect the OP for being proud of their profession despite the way it has been viewed in society. I can understand the desire to educate people on something that they very likely don't have any experience with.
However, I have noticed the OP in other threads trying to force their opinion on people as if it were fact. And here they are doing it again. Personally, I don't mind not using a word I rarely say anyway if I know ahead of time that it can offend people. But the way the OP presents their case is a little abrasive and is going to (and clearly has) caused a rather large pushback. I would reconsider your approach to the subject in the future.
