An opinion essay criticizing Jill Biden for using the honorific “Dr.” has reportedly resulted in its author having his profile removed from the website of Northwestern University. It was written by Joseph Epstein, an author and editor who was a lecturer at the university, which is located near Chicago. 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. “I’m hoping Dr. Jill becomes the surgeon general,” Goldberg said on the air in March. “I am so sick of the way accomplished, educated, successful women like @DrBiden are talked about in the media by misogynistic men,” McCain wrote.
