Just to piss off feminists: Feminist Denounces Ivanka Trump as a Symbol of ‘Patriarchal’ AuthorityNo matter how “empowered” a woman may be, she will never be accepted by feminists if she is a Republican:It's not her best look (see below), but it's not mine to choose. But you have to be crazy with Trump derangement syndrome to go from a frilly dress to “the message that she is sending about her own value, about her place in the White House, and about the place of women in this administration, I think, are really frightening.”
MSNBC contributor Joan Walsh appeared on MSNBC Live on Sunday and attacked Ivanka Trump for not only briefly sitting in for her father at a G20 summit meeting, but for wearing a “girlie” dress while doing so.Unless you hate Republicans, feminists don’t want you in their club.
The author of the book, “What’s the Matter with White People?”, believes that Ivanka’s “ornamental” dress was symbolic of “patriarchal, authoritarian societies” where daughters are “property.” . . .
“Right. With big bows on her sleeve. I mean, I don’t mean to sound sexist — it can be dangerous to comment on what women wear — but the fact that she sat in for her father in a dress that was so incredibly ornamental was such a contradiction in terms”, Walsh said. “And I think that what we see is that in patriarchal, authoritarian societies, daughters have great value — they are property. And the message that she is sending about her own value, about her place in the White House, and about the place of women in this administration, I think, are really frightening.” . . .
“That’s not a dress that’s made for work. That’s not a dress that’s made to go out in the world and make a difference. That is a dress that is designed to show off your girlieness, and, you know, God bless her, show it off, but don’t then tell us that you’re crusading for an equal place for women at the table because you’re not.”

Isn't the real story here that in the 21st century, self-proclaimed "feminists" are still judging women not by the deeds they accomplish and the values they express, but by how they dress? Ms. Walsh is a parody of feminism, while Ms. Trump is the real deal.
ReplyDeleteThat is the significant story here. Just as the significant story about the group of scientists that landed a washing machine on a comet 150 million miles from earth was that, and not the Wonder Woman knock-off shirt he was wearing for the press conference.
