Dr. Jill is going to put what was in there before her, to shame and then some. Ol squint eyes as I call her, served no purpose or deserved being called a 1st lady. She was eye candy to the supporters and that was even questionable. Jill has rightfully so earned that title with all due respect and should wear that proudly and with her head held high like anyone should. We all know if a man had that title, this wouldn't even be a topic of discussion right now.

The hatred of women is sickening. The fact is Melania Trump was a nude model and essentially a high-class call girl. They never said anything about that.

I did a rant on this bullshit already so I won't go full on into it again, the earlier comments (like Larimar) dive into that bucket of slop of threats to insecure males. I think my position is clear. She needs to use her title, she earned it.

can't remember where I read it yesterday but he only has an HONORARY DR. Typical threatened male behavior. Thankfully not all are like this.

Bullshit keep the Dr she earned it

Agreed. And it wouldn't have been said if she was a man.

My father has a Ph.D. in economics. I remember him telling me as a child that it was only appropriate for him to use the title "Dr." in situations in which he was acting in his professional capacity. That was almost 50 years ago, things may have changed or that may have been an opinion not a recognized standard, I don't know. In my field where I received my degrees a Ph.D. is not necessary to practice.

Now that this controversy has arisen, I think it's particularly important that she continue to use "Dr.", and although I agree with the logic of my father's position, as a female role model I also think it is particularly important for her to continue to use it.

It may piss you of even more to know, that in the UK, female doctors keep the name under which they gained their doctorate, and do not change it when married. But then the US is a whole other world.
