While I'd normally agree with you, she's prominently involved politically both during and after the campaign.biochem wrote:Anyone noticed the anti-female bias of the media? The people around Trump who get the most attacks are KellyAnne and Ivanka. They're not being nearly so vicious to the men. So much for the liberal media being feminist. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk.
I'd say Bannon and Spicer are taking a lot more heat than Ivanka Trump is. The others aren't seeing as frequent attacks/criticism because they haven't done much in this administration yet.

Everyone knows that Trump is an idiot but since he is POTUS more is expected of him and rightly so. But when it comes to Trump's lack of regard towards women, psychologically it blows back onto his wife and daughter. The world's most intelligent species, women, expect, at the very least a "Daddy or Honey, you shouldn't say those sexist, racist, irresponsible, disrespectful, appalling and idiotic things about women. I'm a woman, don't you care about me, and what and who I represent?"
The old adage is implied in this case. "For evil to prevail, good simply has to do nothing."
The women in Trump's life appear to be doing nothing. It appears that they care about nothing but profit. So what better way to counter their madness than by hitting their pockets. I assure you what is on the minds of every potential female customer when they see Ivanka's clothing... "BITCH PLEASE! I'LL SHOW YOU!!!"
Do you think any other First Lady or First Daughters would have tolerated the sexist attitudes outwardly displayed by their husband or father?
Michelle would have torn Barack a new ass when he got home. "I KNOW YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT CRAP!"
There's also an old saying that says "Behind every successful man STANDS a woman telling him he's wrong."
There are a few women standing behind Trump.
Perhaps the dumber the First Lady the dumber the President.

A quote from Watters World.
If Ivanka Trump's father was a Democrat, wouldn't we be hearing about "girl power?"
My point exactly!
A day late and a daughter short? IMHO, there is nothing wrong with this picture. This admisnistration has forgotten that not only is the president in the public's eye, but the First Lady and First Daughters are as well. There is something implied, something that is expected of them as well. A certain amount of decorum and savoir faire.
The thing is, I like Ivanka. She is business minded. Nothing wrong with that. She is drop dead gorgeous. Certainly nothing wrong with that. She is daddy's little girl. Nothing wrong with that either. But she cannot use her First Daughter status to bolster her business. She cannot play her title, as First Daughter, as a Trump card, pardon the pun. But as soon as her father solicited her for his Transition Team, her business life was in jeopardy.
I hate it for her, but the Emoluments Clause is there for a reason. The American people have a right to know and feel confident that every single presidential decision will be made in the best interest of the people, not made in the best interest of the president's or his wife or daughter's business concerns. No one is above the law, not even the president or his family. Breaching the Emoluments Clause is a serious offense. The fact that Trump does it is alarming. It possibly bespeaks his motives in seeking the presidency in the first place. It is the one thing he should have gone out of his way to avoid. Putting his daughter on his transition team was a bad move and made her ineligible to play "Monopoly."
"I've landed on Park Place. Pay me $200."
"No Ivanka, we won't," says America's female professionals.
"...and hopefully I can be there for him. And for those causes I've cared about my whole professional career." What causes Ivanka? Do they not naturally include girl power? You know, women's rights and the like? Enquiring minds want to know. Enquiring women nationwide demand to know, at the expense of your clothing line.
Throw us a bone. Throw Ivanka a bone Donald. If he had said "I apologize to women around the world. My daughter has seriously gotten on my case. I relent, I genuinely apologize" would have caused her clothing line to sell faster than $1 Super Bowl tickets.
Instead he goes on to show that he's simply a meathead with no bones about it.
