17. Yep. She simply has not a clue

what it is like for most working women. She never has to scramble to fix dinner for her husband and kids after a long day at work. She's not trying desperately to pick up the toys, to do laundry late at night or very early in the morning so everyone will have something clean to wear. She's not trying to recall if she agreed to bring cookies to school for the 4th grade Valentine's party, and does she have time to swing by the grocery store to buy some. She's not hoping she'll have a chance to swing by ToysRUs to grab a gift to bring to the birthday party her eleven year old has been invited to.

In short, she has a luxury of time that the average working person does not have. Period. Heck, even a stay at home mom (as I was) has more things to juggle than a woman like Ivanka. And I had it relatively good, but I still was responsible all by myself for all sorts of things that she gets to delegate. And has no clue that most women do not to delegate them.

If they see Ivanka as a role model, brer cat May 2017 #20
another thing is that they mainly see her as supporting her father JI7 May 2017 #10
Thank you! I noted that too. She's supportive - like they are - not defined as accomplished Solly Mack May 2017 #13
and this also means they don't consider the rights of women as an issue in itself JI7 May 2017 #15
