Jill Biden had the perfect response to the man who mocked her doctorate
You might have heard about that weird Wall Street Journal column which questioned Jill Biden’s right to call herself a doctor.
Joseph Epstein offered the First Lady-in-waiting ‘a bit of advice’ suggesting she stop calling herself ‘Dr Jill Biden’ because it ‘sounds and feel fraudulent, not to say a touch comic’.
“Madame First Lady—Mrs. Biden—Jill—kiddo: a bit of advice on what may seem like a small but I think is a not unimportant matter. Any chance you might drop the “Dr.” before your name? “Dr. Jill Biden” sounds and feels fraudulent, not to say a touch comic.
“Your degree is, I believe, an Ed.D., a doctor of education, earned at the University of Delaware through a dissertation with the unpromising title “Student Retention at the Community College Level: Meeting Students’ Needs.”
“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.”
And there were lots of admirable and totally on-point responses.
It's weird — I saw all of the Indiana Jones movies in theaters and I don't remember any guys yelling that he didn't deserve to be called "Dr. Jones" in any of them.

.@jamestaranto, you and the @WSJ should be embarrassed to print the disgusting and sexist attack on @DrBiden running on the @WSJopinion page. If you had any respect for women at all you would remove this repugnant display of chauvinism from your paper and apologize to her.

Next up the Wall Street Journal and Joseph Epstein go after Dr. Seuss.

Her name is Dr. Jill Biden. Get used to it.

But none were better than this from Dr Jill Biden herself, which managed to be restrained, dignified, and damning all at the same time.
Together, we will build a world where the accomplishments of our daughters will be celebrated, rather than diminished.

Might need to get some treatment for that burn. Is there a doctor in the house?
