After the House passed the AHCA bill Thursday, I stood up and walked outside. I took Women Who Work with me. It was when the sunlight hit the cover of the book at a certain angle, causing Ivanka’s pale skin to sparkle, that I realized who she reminded me of. That dewy parasitism, like Dracula after a meal—America’s first daughter belongs to the Twilight phenomenon, to the pop culture vogue for attractive vampires.
The core fantasy of the series was that creatures born to prey on us might come to love and protect us instead. That a glamorous and sophisticated child of darkness, decked in ancestral riches, could float down from the tower and, seeing our potential, remake us in her image. Some blood might be spilled (ours, even!), but would that not be a small price to pay for “architecting a life you love—a full, multidimensional life”?
Perhaps it is no coincidence that the fabled Ivanka voter hails from the same demographic—white, middle class, female—that devours romance novels in general and snapped up Stephenie Meyer’s in particular. Or perhaps this administration has rewritten so many rules and unraveled so many norms that I’m mistaking fiction for truth. The Trumps are right about one thing, though: We can occasionally be authoring our destinies even when we believe ourselves to be fortune’s fools. After all, we invited them in.
In the funhouse reality of Trumpworld, all is inverted. If a person’s identity revolves around having things handed to her, then she must publish a book titled Women Who Work. This work book must lean on the labor of others, be they ghostwriters, nannies, or cleaning staff.

Well, she is a bit of a vamp... just sayin’. ;-)
Reads like a Cat Fight...
So cram it Slate.
She looks comfy..
Funny how the left automatically hates her just because she is the daughter of the focal point of their hatred. Funny because she is a leftist influence on her dad!
Where do all these crazed lefty “journalists” come from.
It’s like there’s a underground factory somewhere at which unending shifts of trolls produce them on assembly lines.
So, she’s a curb sitter too?
no good paying jobs left in the social justice warrior field, so they freelance write
If this crap reflects a fraction of the insight into the present female mind, it's time for a mass committal to the nervous hospital.
It wouldn’t hurt Ivanka to recede for a while.
The more known her policy goals are, the harder it is to ignore her liberal worldview, the more she speaks the more pretentious she sounds and being seen everywhere with the President raises more questions about her position.
Someone should have taught her less is more.
We can hope that the genius of the Kirchners begins to manifest itself and produces some measurable result that outweighs all the trouble coming to the president, soon, because more is on the way.
The Kirchners causes and their connections are pretty foreign to the minds of most Trump voters and neither seem to articulate an appreciation for the issues that made Trump the POTUS, nor much of any desire to acquire it.
She is!
They are secretly referred to as "universities."
How about an Ivanka ping list? :)
Well, she wouldn't have learned that from her father.
