Literally *every* woman in academia who has been mansplained about her own expertise can relate to DR JILL BIDEN being called kiddo and given unsolicited advice to "drop the honorific" by a man who completely lacks the credentials and standing to address her. Do better @WSJ.
And if like me, you initially did not get beyond the misogyny before the paywall, rest assured... it gets worse. There is some horrifically racist content for good measure. Apparently the entitled white male author is especially intimidated by educated Black women.
And if you are reading this and think this is no big deal, you should take a walk though my mentions. This one is my favorite https://twitter.com/Kekings0n/status/1337897055566639104?s=20

Glad to see that @WSJ will not, in fact, do better - but is instead doubling down. Apparently calling out sexism is "playing the race or gender card."
Disgusting. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/13/business/dr-jill-biden-wall-street-journal.html?smid=tw-share
