    Your professor is telling you politely that you are a woman of rank, station or authority.
    Perhaps you are a female of nobility.

      Why are you creating a division in society?

        I agree. 'Nobility' should be construed to mean, "1 : the quality or state of being noble in character, quality, or rank", and not the second definition, as defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

          'Nobility' is earned.

            I approve and encourage your definition of nobility.

            It is not a division if none are excluded but for the lack of their own positive action.
