Women can be vicious. Just ask men. Better yet, ask other
women. If they’re honest, they’ll tell you. Women can be harsh to their own
kind, especially liberal women. That’s what makes feminist campaigns like the
“Women’s March” a bit of a joke. It’s not about women sticking up for one
another. It’s about liberal women advancing their own liberal agenda, and if
you’re not on board, you’re attacked, viciously.
Just look at how Ivanka Trump is being treated. After she
posted an adorable photo with her son, comedian Ilana Glazer of “Broad City”
unfurled her claws.
Ivanka’s tweet didn’t mock other women. In fact, many
women could identify with her. Plenty of working moms have taken their kids to
work, and women who are homemakers or work from home appreciate a mom who is
active in their children’s lives.
I can bet if any liberal celebrity or politician tweeted
the same thing, they’d be praised for it. But not Ivanka. Because she’s her
father’s daughter, she is unfairly attacked by other women.
The Double
Standards Are Obvious
The same goes for all the stores that are pulling or
downplaying her clothing line—Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, T.J. Maxx, and
Marshalls. Ivanka was shocked, of course. Why would they boycott her clothing
line just because of her dad’s politics? Aren’t women supposed to be treated
independently, separate from their male relatives?
Isn’t this what we were told repeatedly about Hillary
Clinton? It didn’t matter what Bill did. Hillary was her own woman. She didn’t
have to answer for her husband’s shortcomings and immoral behavior,
particularly toward women. Yet this is what we get about Ivanka: “While she is
not her dad, she is complicit in his actions, especially considering her
husband is her dad’s advisor.”
Complicit in his actions? Which illegal or immoral
actions is she involved in, exactly? Unlike Hillary, who actually took active
steps to silence her husband’s accusers of sexual assault and rape, Ivanka has
done nothing even remotely similar. She has supported her dad’s candidacy, and
she continues to support him, but she is not actively “complicit” in anything.
Women are independent of men, right?
Or is that true only for liberal women? Only they are
seen as individuals with identities of their own, but Republican women, well,
they have no independent identities. They’re appendages of the men in their
lives. I call BS on that one.
People See the
Hypocrisy and They’re Sick of It
It’s this kind of hypocrisy from the Left that got Donald
Trump elected. People are tired of it. They see behind the veil where petty,
insecure people are pulling the levers. This is especially true of the feminist
movement: Madonna, Ashley Judd, Scarlett Johannsson, Sarah Silverman, and all
the rest of the liberal celebrities who are in meltdown mode right now are
being exposed for the frauds they are.
Just like the organizers who refused to let pro-life
women participate in the Woman’s March, and the conga line of liberal elites
who bash conservative female pundits and politicians as if they’re Sarah Palin
beating a halibut, women who attack Ivanka are backstabbing harpies. That’s
all. They’re not principled. They don’t care about women’s rights. They don’t
care about the dignity of all women. They care about one thing—their own egos,
which are wrapped up in their liberal politics. They don’t care about you. They
care about themselves.
Instead of engaging in rational debate, they attack,
boycott, politicize, and propagandize. They bastardize their art and their
platforms to perpetuate an ideology that undermines our republic, our freedom,
the American people, and the very women they say they represent.
It’s time we said “Enough!” Enough of the double
standards. Enough of the vicious attacks on Republican women or anyone who
dares to challenge the Left and their ideology, which isn’t about empowering
women at all. It’s about empowering the state, the political elites, and their
handmaidens in Hollywood.
Ivanka Trump is a successful, beautiful, strong woman who
should be celebrated and supported for the example she sets for young women as
a wife, mother, business woman, and, yes, even daughter. Is she perfect? No,
none of us are. But to put a target on her merely because she loves and
supports her father is the opposite of what feminism represents. Feminism is
supposed to be about respecting a woman’s choices, seeing her independent of a
man, and celebrating her on her own merit. Ivanka deserves that. We all do.
