The women reacted swiftly over the weekend, after a controversial editorial in the Wall Street Journal called on the future first lady, Dr. Jill Biden, to drop the title "doctor" from her name.

Opinion columnist Joseph Epstein urged Biden, who earned a PhD in Education from the University of Delaware in 2007, to give up her title because she is not a doctor.

“A wise man once said that no one should call himself a doctor unless a woman is born in the operating room,” Epstein justifies.

Astronomer Dr. Claudia Antolini, UK, who holds a PhD in this field, launched a tweet that attracted more than 5,000 comments and over 63,000 likes.

"Are you a woman who holds a PhD?" She says in her tweet addressing her gender.

The important thing is to register your presence here to prove that we exist, and we will not give up our scientific titles for the sake of the sake of a manipulative man.

An expert in artificial emotional intelligence, Dr. Rana Al-Qalioubi, wrote a tweet addressing women with a PhD, in solidarity with Biden’s generation, saying: “To all women with a PhD: Let's stand in solidarity with Biden’s generation and stand against the sexist, biased Wall Street Journal writer, Please add the title of Doctor in your (Twitter) message to show our large numbers, and to prove that we deserve respect ».

Gelshila Salazar Desimone, PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology, added in another tweet, in which she said: “Solidarity with Dr.

Biden, I add my title to the rest of my classmates. I am proud because I am a first-generation Latina immigrant who worked hard to obtain a PhD in America.

It wasn't easy.

I sacrificed, and I finally won. ”

In addition to a doctorate, Biden, who has taught for more than three decades, holds two master's degrees, according to her official White House résumé.

She taught at Northern Virginia Community College during the eight years that her husband, President-elect Joe Biden, served as vice president in the Barack Obama administration.

Biden did not publicly confirm her future plans, but told "CBS News" in August that she hoped to continue teaching, a move that would make her the first woman in the country to hold a paid job outside the White House.

On Sunday, Biden tweeted, apparently in response to Epstein's editorial, "Together, we will build a world where the achievements of our daughters are celebrated, rather than marginalized."

A Biden spokesman called on the Wall Street Journal to delete the opinion piece, and wrote on Twitter to address the newspaper, "If you have any respect for women at all, you should delete this hateful, chauvinistic article from your newspaper and apologize to Mrs. Biden."

The data shows that the opinion article, which the editor of the editorial page has defended vigorously, comes at a time when women's achievements continue to diminish in today's world, as women are still lagging behind when it comes to leadership positions in the workforce, and in the past 10 months, they have left more Of two million women work in the labor market, according to the National Women's Law Center.
