AndNowThis
(1 post)A the G20 Summit regarding the moderators questions about her father's comments about women (the Billy Bus Tapes)
IVANKA "Well, (breathe, hair flip, mike brought to lips, hair flip), "I have heard that in the media as well...which they continue to perpetuate, but my father hires thousands of women" (He grabs them by the (whatever) right off the street I bet)
On mothers and babies dying in Syria..."Well", breath, Hair flip, slowly, "It should be part of the discussion"
What discussion?
The one her husband has over dinner with his father in law to bomb a school and hospital in Syria?
The one she has with plant supervisors overseas making her products with babies on the floors of the factories?
The one with children dying on the beaches trying to escape Assad's bombs, why she skis in Aspen?
The Working Woman's conference that her father is effectively losing jobs for millions of women?
I HATE IVANKA..HER FATHER IS AN IDIOT SO THAT'S HIS EXCUSE. SHE IS NOT. JUST COMPLICIT AND BORED.

Solly Mack
(90,767 posts)It's meant to be non-confrontational.
The problem comes in when she opens her mouth and all those meaningless sentences come out. What is intended as soothing becomes a grating sound that is anything but conducive to listening.
She's intentionally vague, while at the same time using words that are meant to be positive. But since I know it's all for show, and I know it is all scripted nonsense meant to make me think she is saying something she isn't... it all - voice, words - becomes one intertwined hot mess that works my last nerve.
She's a lullaby con artist. Her father is a braggadocious con artist. One no less dangerous than the other.

(1,353 posts)It is robotic and pageant queen-ish...SO affected and completely annoying. Her appearance yesterday in Berlin was laughable as she touted being a successful businesswoman...her name was her ticket into everything. I keep wondering if Merkel invited her there just to get some worldwide embarrassment... I hope that whole family goes down with criminal indictments...
hamsterjill
(15,220 posts)It's like fingernails on a blackboard. And the way she was sitting at the event with Merkel was totally inappropriate in MY opinion. That criticism isn't about how her legs were positioned either. The criticism is because she was slouching.

The privileged nepotism that she defends is repulsive.
The level of her involvement in government affairs as a result of that nepotism.
Her defense of the President, on the international stage, as a supporter of women when there's soooo much evidence to the contrary is detestable.
I will attack her, as a free and independent equal. I, for one, refuse to formulate my opinions of her based on her appearances, perceptions of a fake nature, or her voice.
My apologies to you superpatriotman, but these kinds of stances just ring too close to the generalizations used against women in all ranges of the political spectrum. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but in my own opinion I'd ask you to give it some additional consideration, and use critical thinking practices to formulate your opinions on her (and all people).

(6,249 posts)I just really can't stand her voice.
pnwmom
(108,978 posts)of that voice is what repels me. The smooth, polished tones of a jazz radio-station DJ. And I think her "fake nature" is worth criticizing. Like her narcissistic father, she is all about the surface; the presentation. Yuk.
I also hate her father's voice, for different reasons. So it's not a gender-based thing.
