But the company that designs her clothing line, including the $157 sheath she wore during her convention speech, does not offer workers a single day of paid maternity leave.
Her personal hypocrisy aside, it remains mindboggling to me how that is even legal.
The other day I saw a conversation between some women about Ann Coulter on Twitter after Coulter decided to add her bigoted spin on Khizr Khan's speech. One of the women was saying she hoped that Coulter would eventually reveal that she's an Andy Kaufman-esque performance artist and doesn't believe a word of what she says because it would be funny in a "joke's on you" sort of way. These were all liberal/feminist women, mind you. It reminded me of how people always half-jokingly talk about the possibility that Ivanka doesn't "actually" support her father, or that she's secretly sabotaging Trump and donating to Clinton. White feminist women so often seem to have a blind spot when it comes to other white women, regardless of how openly they embrace bigotry. There's always a hint of "nahhhh, they're really one of us, it's probably a joke"--as if that makes it better or forgivable!
My point being, it's shocking to me how people will bend over backwards to make excuses for certain white women.
