Video Ivanka, Your Privilege Is Showing

Ivanka’s new book is chock full of privilege nuggets. Hannah Cranston, Hasan Piker, and Brett Erlich, the hosts of The Young Turks, read you some excerpts. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“For the most part, strong, powerful women are something awesome to behold. In a society still dominated by men, and one that continues to disregard women's rights as human rights, it's always refreshing to see a smart, successful woman taking charge. But, the women's rights movement isn't one-dimensional, and just because a woman does well for herself doesn't mean she should automatically be labeled a feminist. Such is the case with Ivanka Trump. While the first daughter claims to be a feminist, her point of view is skewed. And more so, there are quite a few moments and quotes from Ivanka Trump's new book, Women Who Work, that show her privilege — much of which has shaped her life and her public identity.

Released May 2, Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success, Trump's new book centers on the idea of the modern working woman. In the book's introduction, Trump says her "hope for this book is that it will help our generation change the narrative around women and work, and embolden you to become a more enlightened leader who creates the life you want to live." However, from the very first paragraph of Trump's latest book, her sparkly lens of privilege takes center stage. From a failed attempt at recreating a Wild-esque soul-searching hike, to the very idea of Trump's book in and of itself, Women Who Work, is not meant for all women who work, that much is clear.”
