The Wall Street Journal is out on the offensive on this rainy Monday morning citing that they won’t remove Joseph Epstein ‘s offensive (“op-ed’) requesting that Biden stop using her earned credentials. The op-ed has widely been panned as offensive and misogynstic rather than (“anything to do with literal politics rather than an individual’s politics.”)
In fact the entire article had this stench of hating successful women. Thinking such has little do with “correctness” as the WSJ suggested in its defense of the article. There is nothing politically correct about a woman who has like her male counterparts established herself.
Epstein has been dropped from Northwestern University ‘s website as a result of the op-ed, although, hasn’t actually lectured or taught at the school in nearly 20 years. Both departments of the school have issued swift statements rejecting the idea put forth by Epstein claiming that Biden should stop using the “Dr” in her name because she’s not a doctor despite having earned the rightful credit and degree to be called such.
This is how cancel culture works,” Paul Gigot wrote. “These pages aren’t going to stop publishing provocative essays merely because they offend the new administration or the political censors in the media and academe.”
Meanwhile, Epstein maintains that his piece was “in part humour” but nobody can seem to find the humour in the piece.
No comment, apart from saying that I thought mine a lightly humorous piece, but I fear there isn’t much humor in the world, especially among the politically correct.” he said according to a brief statement picked up by CNN.
