this is kinda mean, but you'd think he'd be more careful with his words considering his last name's connotation in media nowadays...

They should tell all the Universities to stop giving doctorates, then: why point out a particular woman who is learned and earned her doctorate from a recognised institution? Like they say, dont hate the playa, hate the game. I suggest he start a petition to all universities to stop issuing doctorates to anyone who hasn't delivered/attempted to deliver a child-notice the pronoun "he hasn't delivered a child", what a sexist and mysogynist claptrap in this day and age. Until he starts such a petition tho, just stop with this nonsense. Using the word fraudulent without proof is just ridiculous when talking about Dr. Jill Biden, i dint even know about her docto status until I read this. Double standards, indeed. Did you call out the head of the Education Department for not being a teacher in or whoever was in charge of the Postal Service not being a postal worker. The hypocrisy just makes me mad. End rant, cos its too long already.

the last two sentences especially irk me since a) man literally just implied that only men can be doctors and b) a person may only be addressed as Dr when they have delivered a child ?? I'm explaining that last bit with stupidity and lack of understanding of basic human biology

Its just caveman and primitive/sexist/mysogynist outdated/nvr relevant thinking to me, as my mom was a nurse in a (post-)natal ward and i watched the tv show "Call The Midwife" a few years ago and women were the main deliverers of babies, and always have been. Iv not read the hostory of childbirthing but at some point men inserted themselves into the process and think them(our)-selves as irreplaceable to actual childbirth. I think its only to feel important as our part is basically done nine months beforehand, and
(2) none of the above entitles any man (or woman) to call Dr. Jill Biden "fraudulent" or any woman or person who earned a doctorate such without proof, or insinuate it "feels fraudulent" to them. Are they a University Chancellor that they can make such a call? Even if so, they can only do so for their own doctoral candidates and not past receivers of doctorates without sunstantiated proff, or they'll be held to ridicule. The whole point is how silly this all is. Everything about it but the still printed it as if its important. How farcical is WSJ?
TLDR-a farce all around.

I find it especially infuriating how doctors literally designates people who have earned their doctorates—people who are qualified to teach, and that they are ignoring this fact to continue living their sexist fever dream

I used to think highly of it, but doctors after Hippocrates earned cred for doctors in general as a whole misused it to enrich/inflate their own egos and i think the whole university system is an example of that. But all that said, Dr. Jill Biden and all the women and people who played by the corrupt self-enriching system, earned their doctorates and degrees by the rules and ppl like him are just mad and trying to take their ball away(when this guy isnt even in the game, he's just hollering from the sidelines) when women and other ppl learned to play the game better than them and beating them at theor own game. But tats another issue so ill stop here.

Its just to show their diminishing power to say "fuck you" to women n other ppl who r doing better than them rn, "i(we) used to hv power, but ur taking over, while i still hv an iota of it im gonna use it to make ppl think i(we) are still influential/important cos i still hv the tools of propaganda tat took yrs to build n shielded from being taken over by u n will take yrs more b4 enuf of the ppl we used and subjucated can grow in numbers n be liberated from our yoke, until then we'll use words cos tats wat's left in our arsenal."
Literally last resort of the once powerful who hv declined. I took too long to type this so just posting it without edits.

I was going to say --- I'm amazed that was a real column in the WSJ. He sounded more like a troll on Twitter.
