Jill Biden Receives Support After Controversial Article Urged Her To Drop 'Dr.' Title

Jill Biden receives massive support from the netizens after Joseph Epstein called her out in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal.

President-elect Joe Biden and his family with his wife Jill will be moving to the White House after his inauguration. However, Epstein wanted Jill to drop her “Dr.” honorific before they move to the presidential house, which didn't sit well with the netizens who believe that she earned it and should continue using it if she wants to.

"It’s not an honorific. It’s a prenominal earned. The honorific is Dr for things like an MBBS or a bachelor of osteopathy in Australia where no PhD has been submitted and passed," one commented.

"Nope. Nobody asks any men that I know to drop an honorific they earned! Dr. Biden earned the title, and deserves it!" another wrote.

"The first lady to be has all the right to use her status before assuming into her new role. Nothing should be stopping her to continue using credentials of ‘Dr’ common [sic] guys she’s worked her life to achieve this title. Let it be an inspiration to all,” another user added.

Several also attacked The Wall Street Journal for the article that many deemed misogynistic.

"It was a misogynistic, patronizing, laughable piece from an irrelevant man. I really hope the @WSJ pulls it and puts in a retraction. It couldn't focus on something relevant to a business journal, obviously. Just another way to put down people," one commented.

"@WSJ published a misogynistic belittling article mascarading as a thought piece suggested Dr Biden, despite 4 higher education degrees & personal achievements, be content with being her husbands wife instead of being professional in her own right for no particular reason #fixedit," a different netizen wrote.
