Older'Dr. Biden' Is Trending After a Misogynistic Article About Jill Biden Was Published - Read Reactions
Dr. Biden is currently a trending topic on Twitter after a misogynistic article about Jill Biden was published in the Wall Street Journal.
The article is titled “Is There a Doctor in the White House? Not if You Need an M.D.” and it was written by a man named Joseph Epstein. The subtitle reads, “Jill Biden should think about dropping the honorific, which feels fraudulent, even comic.”
Dr. Biden is a Doctor of Education and she has every right to be referred to as a doctor, so people are calling out the author of the article and also Wall Street Journal for publishing the piece.
Chasten Buttigieg, the husband of former presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, tweeted, “The author could’ve used fewer words to just say ‘ya know in my day we didn’t have to respect women.’”

Dr. Jill Biden
PhDs were doctors when physicians were using saws and pliers. I’ve never seen an article telling any male professor to drop their honorific.
Call her Dr.Biden please.

1) PhDs don’t go around calling themselves Dr – it’s a sign of respect from students, colleagues & others
2) I will refer to our next First Lady as Dr Biden
3) Wall Street Journal is a Murdoch newspaper – ‘nuff said
4) Joseph Epstein is a shitty person with no moral compass

To the fucktards at @wsj: Dr. Biden EARNED her title and has the right to use it whenever she pleases. I can't say the same for the bulk of your writing staff, who seems to be bought off by a bunch of money grabbing misogynist pigs.

This is a real paragraph – written by Joseph Epstein – that was published in the Wall Street Journal https://t.co/1hS8Kcu7cK pic.twitter.com/wFBmfzfidQ

In light of that WSJ op-ed on Dr. Jill Biden, what a stunning coincidence that comparatively un-credentialed white men only seem to get up their hackles about PhDs being referred to as "doctors" when it's a woman and/or BIPOC using that honorific. What a striking happenstance!

Sweet Jesus, is this the kind of misogynistic crap we're going to be seeing from the puke funnel of @WSJopinion for the next four years? No wonder James Murdoch bailed on these dirtbags…https://t.co/8GHkeLtuMN
