Elle magazine writer Sady\u00a0Doyle really doesn\u2019t like Ivanka Trump. \u00a0Last year, she wrote a piece called\u00a0\u201cIvanka\u00a0Trump Will Not Fix \u2018Women\u2019s Issues\u2019\u2014She Will Distract From Them,\u201d where she lamented that Ivanka\u00a0is attractive, smart and successful. \u00a0Yes, you read that correctly. \u00a0The ridiculous piece explains what\u2019s wrong with \u201cexceptional women<\/a>.\u201d \u00a0Funny, you\u2019d think a feminist would celebrate exceptional women. \u00a0Not when they\u2019re conservative.<\/p>\n

And now she\u2019s got another\u00a0\u201chot take,\u201d this time about conservatives more generally. \u00a0She believes that conservative women, because of their \u201cintolerant beliefs\u201d deserve whatever harassment comes to them. \u00a0This applies to the sexual harassment of Megyn Kelly, the airplane harassment of Ivanka and her kids, or the unfair criticism of Kellyanne Conway. \u00a0All fair game, according to Doyle<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We should not weep for Theresa May or any other conservative woman whose policies contribute to the continued oppression of women and minorities. Even the most moon-eyed believer in feminist sisterhood must realize it\u2019s all got to stop somewhere. Any harm done to Kellyanne Conway by calling her \u201cSkeletor\u201d is vastly outweighed by the harm Conway has done, and intends to do, to the American people. And by the way, it\u2019s no coincidence that all of these women are white\u2014they\u2019ve been given leeway to screw up and court public disapproval in ways that a woman of color would never be afforded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, I guess we\u2019ve known this for a long time \u2014 feminism is not a \u201cwomen\u2019s movement,\u201d it\u2019s a \u201cliberal women\u2019s movement.\u201d Thanks to Elle for allowing feminist writers to out themselves as intolerant, biased, and small minded.<\/p>\n
