Ivanka Trump's Boots Are Getting Some Interesting Reviews on Amazon

[RandySF]

Ivanka Trump’s role as the placeholder for those who take issue with her father’s policy stances and public sentiments continues. First there was the letter from the jewelry designers who told the mother and businesswoman that the proceeds from her purchase with them were being donated to support organizations that do work that is threatened by her father’s stances. Next came the #DearIvanka vigil (and sardonic Instagram posts).

The latest form of peaceful protest? Amazon reviews.

And around Ivanka Trump brand boots, especially.

Reads one review, titled, “You get what you ask for. Boots edition.”:

These boots are perfectly designed to trample on fellow Americans’ Civil Rights Day or Night. Your legs will be enclosed in a tight, made-somewhere-that-is-not-America material that will squeeze all the blood from your brain, resulting in blind admiration of demagoguery. All the while, your feet will continue to atrophy as they are are squeezed into a fetishized version of the female body which likely will not include making decisions on its behalf. That said, you get what you ask for.

These are really really restrictive and tight – no wiggle room for any kind of freedom of thought. Can you get sued for writing a bad review of a product? Anyway, these boots might fit a person that is male, straight, white and Christian but if you don’t fit all these criteria, they are NOT the boots for you! They are made in a sweatshop by child labor in a foreign country because that’s called being smart. I heard they are going to move manufacturing to Taiwan, which may make them better but who knows. Everyone keeps telling me to wait and see. They are certainly not comfortable enough to stand in for four years.

I was feeling way over confident and I needed to be put in my place. These ill-fitting boots are a perfect reminder that I should be seen, admired for my womanly “virtues”, rated in a scale from 1-10, and occasionally grabbed by my kitty cat. With these boots I feel like I am closer to the beautiful glass ceilings that allow natural light in to our offices – but certainly not close enough to break them.

5. Don't think Amazon would allow this kind of review. Would have to see a link to THEM not to Yahoo.

6. If you click on the yahoo story you find a link to amazon as well.

But here is the link to amazon from the yahoo article for you.

And yes, Amazon does allow such reviews. The site is filled with humorous reviews of products, to include funny protest reviews.

10. I wrote something just mildly critisizing something and they would not accept it. That is why I

didn't think these were real reviews. Followed your link - and there they were. Wonder how long Amazon will le them stay up there.

11. No idea. People post the reviews from time to time in the lounge.

Some will have you crying from laughter.

13. Depends on if it's an Amazon retail product or from a third party seller.

Third party sellers have the ability allowed to block reviews that include certain terms. Reviews for products that Amazon retails are only censored for legal concerns (like stalking threats) or spam.

7. Is there a particular reason Ivanka Trump sells jackboots?

[canetoad]

8. Probably no

But I'm glad you asked the question.

9. I noticed that the boot at the Amazon link is called the "Issa"!

I wonder if Ivanka named it after Darrell?

14. Yep, boots from the 30s. 1930s that is. 1930s Germany.
