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.
