The opinion article published in the Wall Street Journal called for Dr Biden to drop the honorific and compared her doctorate in education to an honorary degree.

An opinion article calling for the incoming First Lady of the United States to stop referring to herself as"Dr" has prompted outrage online, with a number of high-profile figures describing it as sexist and condescending.

"Madame First Lady—Mrs. Biden—Jill—kiddo: a bit of advice on what may seem like a small but I think is a not unimportant matter," the article read. The author himself noted that he had not completed a doctorate, or"any advanced degree", but was given an honorary doctorate. Dr Biden, who has a total of four degrees, will be the only First Lady in America's history to continue working while serving as FLOTUS.
