Her Name is Dr Jill Biden
A huge debate has been sparked by the publication of an opinion article in the
‘Is There a Doctor in the White House? Not if You Need an M.D.’ by Joseph Epstein, 83, on the 11th of December. The article is about the incoming First Lady of the United States, Dr Jill Biden, and whether or not she should be entitled to the use of ‘Doctor’ as her title. The article has sparked outrage from feminists, academics, and Biden supporters universally for its sexist and elitist assertions.
This article has obviously made some big waves. I heard a lot of noise about it and it seemed like an interesting talking point, but when I actually sat down to read it, I could not believe how disgusting the article is.

The
Wall Street Journal defended a controversial editorial it published criticising incoming First Lady Dr Jill Biden for using the title Dr in front of her name.
The piece, written by Joseph Epstein, 89, argued that only medical doctors should use the title Dr and minimised Dr Biden s academic work, which many readers criticised as misogynistic. A wise man once said that no one should call himself Dr. unless he has delivered a child. Think about it, Dr. Jill, and forthwith drop the doc, Mr Epstein wrote.
He also called Dr Biden, 69, kiddo in the piece, and called her doctoral dissertation unpromising based on its title, maximizing student retention in community colleges.

The editor of The Wall Street Journal s editorial page has waded into the fracas surrounding the paper s controversial decision to run an opinion piece on incoming first lady Jill Biden that was widely criticized as sexist and demeaning.
Paul Gigot, who is responsible for the paper s opinion section, defended the decision to run an op-ed published Friday by Joseph Epstein, who suggested that she should drop the Dr. title she uses because her doctorate is not in the field of medicine.
Epstein broadened his criticism to include anyone using the title who is not a physician, and universities more generally for the erosion of seriousness and the relaxation of standards when it comes to granting degrees.
