WSJ piece about Jill Biden gets author cancelled from Northwestern

I AM LITERALLY SHAKING!!!
quote:
Epstein wrote that Jill Biden – the wife of President-elect Joe Biden -- using “Dr.” before her name “sounds and feels fraudulent, not to say a touch comic,” because her doctorate is in education, not medicine or science.
He also argues that earning a Ph.D. “may once have held prestige, but that has been diminished by the erosion of seriousness and the relaxation of standards in university education generally.”
quote:
In a Twitter post on Saturday, McCain appeared to agree with Northwestern that Epstein was being misogynistic with his article.
“I am so sick of the way accomplished, educated, successful women like @DrBiden are talked about in the media by misogynistic men,” McCain wrote. “BEYOND SO SICK OF IT.”

I never understood the reason for anyone with a doctorate besides in an actual medical/science situation, to use "Dr." You don't see "Get Dr. Gordon, Get it done."

I have a feeling any negative the author could have written would have had the same result.

Friend,
The only "doctorate" with lower standards and less rigor is the "doctorate of chiropractoring" or whatever they call it. In no reasonable realm should the chiropractors or others call chiropractors doctors.
Yours,

This is absolutely true.

Worked with a guy that had a PhD in some social science. Insisted on being called Dr.---. If anyone called him Mr.---, he would correct them.
"It's Dr."
"It's Dr."

True Story...
I honestly believed the woman was an M.D. up until about a month ago. I was a little shocked. The media has thrown the Doctor thing around so much.
Saying, literally, “she’s a doctor”...how many people who have PhDs, been referred to as a Doctor? Literally never.
Yes, of course you can refer to a professor or someone with a PhD as Dr. ____, but you don’t say, “they’re a doctor”,

The moral of the whole story is this: Men, no matter what you say or don’t say; no matter what you do or don’t do, when it comes to almost anything, but especially to opinions about women, keep your mouth shut! Simply turn around and walk away...no, crawl away from the marketplace of ideas...and on your belly.

I see no lies here.

write completely false hit piece about Trump’s family - get a promotion
write a critique of a Biden, Clinton, OBama, or Kamala - plan on losing your job and being shamed publicly.

And on the other end of the spectrum Whoopi was on The View talking about how "Dr. Jill" would make a great Surgeon General (not a Bee article).

The "Dr's" should be some sort of physician whether it's an M.D., DO, DDS, ETC.
I'll never forget the time a student called a professor Mrs/Ms and said "Dr, please."
I felt like saying you're not physician so come off it.

How should someone with a master’s degree be addressed?
Master?
Master?

Shaq has the same degree she does.
I'm not calling him Dr. Shaq.

He hadn't taught there in years.

This transcends politics. Dr Seb Gorka, Dr Michael Savage, Dr D David Schultz.

Has he made her Secretary of Education in his cabinet yet?

What's the problem? I for one vividly recall Republicans shouting their objections at the screen every time they referred to Indy as "Dr. Jones."
