On Saturday, December 13th, the Wall Street Journal published an op-ed by Joseph Epstein that ignited a firestorm of criticism for being sexist and misogynist. In the piece he calls First Lady-elect Dr. Jill Biden "kiddo" and argued that she should stop using the "Dr." title in front of her name.
I thought Chasten Buttigieg's Tweeted response said what needed to be said succinctly with a dash of humor: The author could’ve used fewer words to just say “ya know in my day we didn’t have to respect women.”
(Follow up reporting found that Epstein who described himself as having taught for 30 taught from 1974 till 2002 years at Northwestern University's English department as a visiting adjunct lecturer. see: wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Epstein_(writer))
