Mr. Epstein is a misogynist. I am sure he is primed for the fight and wants it more than he wants his favorite beverage, but, this is exactly what this DISCRIMINATION/PREJUDICE amounts to.
Dr. Jill Biden continues to work even when First Lady. There are women in this country that are very talented and well educated and are the only one that can get the job done. Vice-President Elect is another one that passed over a chance to run for US Senator for California to finish a project only she could finish when she was Attorney General of California.
Hillary Clinton began the "womens and girls" movement when she was in office and continued to pursue that goal as a Secretary of State.
It is called dedication, know-how, and gravitas. Women love challenges no different than their husbands, sons, or male friends. They not only seek it out, but they also succeed at mastering the challenge to bring about results.
I have absolutely no doubt Dr. Jill Biden is a first-rate educator and is needed in the community where she works. I look forward to a "Working-First Lady." Should be interesting.

An opinion column (click here) in The Wall Street Journal came under fire over the weekend for asking educator and incoming first lady Jill Biden — who holds two master's degrees and a doctorate in education — to stop using the title "Dr."
In the op-ed published Friday evening, writer and former editor of The American Scholar magazine Joseph Epstein urged Biden to drop the title, a message that public figures and women in academia panned on Twitter as misogynistic both in substance and tone.
"Madame First Lady — Mrs. Biden — Jill — kiddo," begins the piece. "Any chance you might drop the 'Dr.' before your name? 'Dr. Jill Biden' sounds and feels fraudulent, not to say a touch comic."
Biden earned her doctorate from the University of Delaware in 2007. Biden's Obama White House biography describes the dissertation as focusing on "maximizing student retention in community colleges." Epstein disparaged the title of that dissertation as "unpromising."...
