Michelle Obama Defends
Dr. Jill Biden After Op-Ed Article
Calls Her Title ‘Fraudulent’.
On Monday, Michelle Obama took to Instagram
to praise Dr. Jill Biden’s accomplishments and
defend her from recent criticism.
An op-ed published in the ‘Wall Street Journal’
on Friday called the First Lady-elect’s use of "Dr." before her
name “fraudulent” because she’s not a medical doctor. .
A wise man once said that no one should
call himself “Dr.” unless he has delivered a child.
Think about it, Dr. Jill, and forthwith drop the doc, Joseph Epstein, via ‘WSJ’.
Agreeing with many other critics of the op-ed,
Obama called it a perfect example of a woman’s
accomplishments being “met with skepticism.”.
Right now, we’re all seeing what also happens
to so many professional women, whether their
titles are Dr., Ms., Mrs., or even First Lady: All
too often, our accomplishments are met
with skepticism, even derision. , Michelle Obama, via Instagram.
She questioned whether that is the “example
we want to set” for generations to come. .
We’re doubted by those who choose the
weakness of ridicule over the strength of
respect. And yet somehow, their words can
stick—after decades of work, we’re forced
to prove ourselves all over again, Michelle Obama, via Instagram.
Obama ended her post by praising Dr. Biden,
calling her a distinguished and “brilliant” woman. .
She will be a terrific role model not just
for young girls but for all of us, wearing
her accomplishments with grace, good
humor, and yes, pride. , Michelle Obama, via Instagram
