Dr. Jill Biden

Mayor Pete's husband had the best response.

Notice the flipping of the scandal requirements. DJB fires back and she will be accused of menopause outburst.

BTW - When Bill Cosby received an honorary PHD and used in in his acting/producing credits nobody insisted he drop it.

At least Jill earned hers. Sounds a little sexist.

It’s called jealousy. We went from a mindless trophy whore to a doctor. That’s gotta piss off the right wing media for some time to come.


Melania Trump, auditioning for First Lady

You are so right. Republicans suffer from severe jealousy. When Obama was running and attracted huge crowds they tried to diminish him referring to him as a "celebrity". Of course that all changed when they nominated the host of celebrity apprentice. When Obama exuded cool they tried to label it as arrogant. He sang Al Green at a fundraiser and conservative media lost their shit.

I know someone who has a doctorate in nursing - DNP. She is addressed as Doctor.

I would argue she/he shouldn't be in a clinical setting. But everywhere else, why not? Not to derail the thread entirely.

(AT better prepare for the DNP advocacy groups registering in droves to tell me I'm wrong! Kidding.. Sorta)

You just don't know how much this gets to your college drop out father who's brother has a PHD, with that on the return address of a Xmas card. Real life.

Thats so anti alpha that it leaves beta behind in the dust.
Scared of a strong intelligent women is no way to live your life. No real surprise where the concept of incel took birth.

My wife has heard similar comments from men telling her "she's not a real doctor then" when they find out she's a veterinarian. Once after a fairly intensive surgery on a dog and the dog's owner was "only" a nurse. I suspect along with racism, misogyny and bigotry will be around until the end of time.

I also suspect we'll have to suffer through 4 years of constant attacks and investigations of the entire Biden family. If you think Jill Biden doesn't deserve the title of doctor, imagine how disappointed you must be to learn that Melania Trump is only a gold digging Yugoslavian whore that married Trump to get her family here via chain migration.

Dude, "Yugoslavian Whore" is not the preferred nomenclature.

Slovenian Slut, please.

Overall I like the WSJ but their opinion articles are garbage.

I never realized that distinction at the time. I think they call it using code words. In Obama’s case, they were calling Obama the N word without actually using the N word.
Using “celebrity” in place of uppity, and using “arrogant” in place of HOW DARE HE NOT KNOW HIS PLACE. And they pull this same shit when attacking women.

Someday we’ll look back on this nonsense and we’ll just LAUGH. hahahahaha...hmmmmm

not a little sexist, a whole lotta sexist.

They've got nothin on Business Nut Daily.

I admit, in some contexts I've grumbled about people using their doctorate title unnecessarily. I don't think this is one of those contexts, quite the reverse, given articles like this one. The sexism is blatant, to near-satirical levels.

Maybe the fact that the author of the article is so elderly is part of that? As one ages I've found one turns physically into a caricature of oneself, and maybe the same happens with regard to one's opinions?

I get several letters every year asking me to divvy up $$$ to subscribe to the WSJ. Reason is, one day about 5 years ago outside my usual grocery shopping indy supermarket, a guy with a clipboard buttonholes me and says I can get a super cheap subscription to the WSJ. I was initially reticent, but it was so cheap I said OK. The papers stacked up in the house. It's true that they have a lot of really good journalism. I'm sure some that's not so good and this is proof that they can have awful journalism.

I'd never consider replying to those letters.

If it were paper's "official" take, that would be published by "The Editorial Board".

The original article was posted by a Joseph Epstein. Thus, it is to be assumed that what he wrote is his own personal opinion.
The opinion section is only the opinion of the writer writing the piece, and not the usual staff reporting. In fact, because it is opinion, it cannot be per se journalism nor is it held to the same standard as a usual article.

On the same opinion page is a letter from a reader expressing her contrarian take on the commentary of Epstein.

It's so blatantly sexist and ridiculous that it's unbelievable the WSJ would hire a guy with those sorts of views at all.

You going to make us all look it up?!

Not sure what point you are making. They chose to publish something absurd and offensive. That's an editorial decision.

Also, I don't think you know what 'contrarian' means. I assume you mean 'different' or 'opposite'.

Don't forget "community organizer." One of the non-related folks at our holiday gather's likes to throw that one out as an insult.

So much this.

Growing old sucks, in many ways.

Is this the new tan suit controversy?

Yep. Here we go with this stupidity again.

She's white and Catholic, so they are struggling with the Kenyan Muslim racist xenophobia, and moving on to misogyny.

WSJ Editorial page editor is already claiming victim status. That the Biden admin is trying to muzzle them.

Is the country really ready to have a woman as FLOTUS? It seems quite a radical step. I mean, what next - mixed-gender marriages?
