Indeed, the Latin root of doctor literally means teacher. But I think I know what set the author off:

Mr. Adam Grant, PhD (AdamMGrant)

Yes, Women with Doctorates Should Be Called Dr.

It’s weird – I saw all of the Indiana Jones movies in theaters and I don’t remember any guys yelling that he didn’t deserve to be called “Dr. Jones” in any of them.

Turns out Bob Dylan’s Ballad of a Thin Man was just ahead of its time.

Really the WSJ should be embarrassed they published this piece. It reads like a bad student newspaper op ed written by a freshman who thinks he has it all figured out.

The argument is literally that because she isn’t an M.D., she shouldn’t be called “Dr.”? That’s it? Anything else, like she didn’t actually get a doctorate, or she went to a crappy college, or something?

[None]

Also, she’s a woman and that’s completely her fault.

Ya, that’s it.

I saw that he said “A wise man once said, ‘No one should call himself Doctor, unless he has delivered a child.’”

Who supposedly said that? I’m having a hard time finding that outside of this dumb article.

Also, as others were quick to point out when it comes to technicalities: Dr. Jill Biden has delivered a child. Or two.

[Timex]

Oh sure, she did the EASY part.

[Gordon_Cameron]

But did she have the machine that goes “ping”?

@Timex

‘No one should call himself Doctor, unless he has delivered a child.’”

So there are a lot of doctors out there. Firemen, cops, taxi drivers…

Dr. Pepper has some goddamn explaining to do, that’s what.

[Zylon]

Great Scott!

And how come they act like they forgot about Dre?

Where does the media come up with this shit? I want elite when it comes to the top jobs in America. I don’t see football fans clamoring for a mediocre quarterback or a patient complaining their doctor is too good. Why do some people want idiots running government?

It is not the media, it’s ball-less bastards like Marco Rubio (cum laude graduate of University of Miami ) who uses the line. Ages ago when Air America was on the air, I called up one of the Salem media shows, I think it was Hugh Hewitt, to complain about the elite bashing from the hosts. I noted that Salem hosts, like Hewitt (Harvard), Michael Medved (Yale), and Bill Bennett (Harvard) all went to elite schools, where as with some important exceptions (Rachel Maddow), many of the Air America and MSNBC hosts where college drops (Al Sharpton, Randi Rhodes) and quite few had a career in sports broadcasting .

I’m not sure how else the media is suppose to report what Republican say.
