2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumStop it with Ivanka
Coming from a background of sexual abuse (rape and, no, not my father, but by another male relative - and at the age of 12), it is gross to me for anyone to drag Ivanka down with her dad. Judge her for many reasons, but please stop posting photos of her with her dad and suggesting lap dances, etc.
Ivanka may have suffered the unspeakable, which starts with an "I." Let's leave it at that and leave that out of discussions here.
Or ignore me if you want. But understand that it cheapens our narrative and discussion to rag on a woman who, as a child, was around a man who is on tape saying such remarks about a 10 year old as "I'm going to be dating her in ten years!"
Think.About.That.

(19,069 posts)Ivanka has her own issues, but if her dad abused her it is not a topic we need to discuss or make light of. And there is no evidence he did.

(658 posts)Have that issue by all means. I'm talking about the thread stating that she is lap dancing on her father. It's just not appropriate and is, quite frankly, back-handedly sexist.

(7,004 posts)That said, I never participate in those threads and had no luck asking to leave Melania out of our discussions. My reasoning was that something we say might bring her harm. She is living with the beast. I pity her.
I think Ivanka could put distance between herself and her father if she wanted.

(25,544 posts)Suggesting lap dances is an especially cheap shot.
Charlotte Little
(658 posts)My point exactly.
Ivanka did NOTHING to warrant this characterization.

She is only in the narrative because Trump is. Leave her alone.

(341 posts)In fact, Ivanka and Tiffany are the only Trumps I respect.
Can you imagine being the daughter of Donald Trump? Growing up with that clown being your dad? Ugh. I pity those two girls.
