Nothing she wrote seems like classism to me.
The way you put it, a lawyer should avoid mentioning he’s a lawyer as that would display he was educated and thus insulting people who couldn’t.
She’s probably complaining with her friends and reflecting about what happens.
In her work life she is a respected person who does important things which are recognised by her peers.
In her datings she has to go over people who can not come up with a better idea than to send a dick pic. This is a terrible thing, but some people may get desperate and accept some of these inepts. She’s reminding herself that she’s doesn’t really need to have these kinds of interactions.
Is there a classist message in there? I guess the main message is: I’m a smart person, I don’t need to put up with this.
She does not insult those people as Poor’s or people who did not study. As far are we know people sending those pictures may be millionaires (and I wouldn’t be surprised).
Academia is rife with bigots. This is an example of Horseshoe Theory in real life. They’re pigeonholed into their narrow track in life that they haven’t spared much thought for other topics. Not all that different from someone who is uneducated and ignorant.
They over-estimate their proficiency in other areas by assuming because they’ve studied hard at one thing, they must be good at anything. At best they know of the concepts of the -isms and repeat the right words when prompted to do so. But catch them in a moment such as this and all is revealed.
The internet is historically like this on account of it leaning towards the academically privileged classes of the world. People conflate socially maligned behaviors with education and professional status.
All you’ve done is reinforce that point. Because she is a scientist or because another person is a lawyer they are less deserving of this behavior??? As if a less privileged woman would be. You conveniently weaved your narrative around this. Education and class are inextricably linked.
I think people are taking issue with the way she uses some of the vocabulary to sound better than the dick shower. Now, she probably is better than the dick pic dude, but she is bragging a little by using some niche terminology.
I have no doubt it is jarring to be a tissue bioengineer and not receive better courtship than a picture of an erect schlong. Where I think she may have offended is when she said the person couldn’t even pronounce saponification.
In your example, I think a lawyer might be fine in and of itself, but less so if they said “you dummy, you don’t even know what caveat emptor means”
Regardless, I’m only trying to see the opposing argument. I still would say that most of the fault is on dick pic, but the poster might have been a bit of a terminology-dropper to gain some clout.

she’s spend the whole fucking post about bragging how educated she is and what fancy words and concept she knows
