The former editor of The American Scholar urged her to stop having herself referred to as "Dr. Jill Biden" on the grounds that she is not a medical doctor, that her doctorate is in education, and that doctorates are not worth much any more.

Saudi Arabia equates mild Feminism with Terrorism, as Sen. Murphy calls on Biden to review ties with Kingdom Saudi Arabia is one of the world's last absolute monarchies, which practices beheadings and stonings (neither punishment is in the Qur'an, which is supposedly the constitution of the Saudi state). The crimes Hathloul committed are against a repressive authoritarian state.
