Ivanka Trumps role as the placeholder for those who take issue with her fathers policy stances and public sentiments continues. First there was the letter from the jewelry designers who told the mother and businesswoman that the proceeds from her purchase with them were being donated to support organizations that do work that is threatened by her fathers stances. Next came the #DearIvanka vigil (and sardonic Instagram posts).
The latest form of peaceful protest? Amazon reviews.
And around Ivanka Trump brand boots, especially.
Reads one review, titled, You get what you ask for. Boots edition.:
These boots are perfectly designed to trample on fellow Americans Civil Rights Day or Night. Your legs will be enclosed in a tight, made-somewhere-that-is-not-America material that will squeeze all the blood from your brain, resulting in blind admiration of demagoguery. All the while, your feet will continue to atrophy as they are are squeezed into a fetishized version of the female body which likely will not include making decisions on its behalf. That said, you get what you ask for.
I was feeling way over confident and I needed to be put in my place. These ill-fitting boots are a perfect reminder that I should be seen, admired for my womanly virtues, rated in a scale from 1-10, and occasionally grabbed by my kitty cat. With these boots I feel like I am closer to the beautiful glass ceilings that allow natural light in to our offices but certainly not close enough to break them.

And yes, Amazon does allow such reviews. The site is filled with humorous reviews of products, to include funny protest reviews.

(12,654 posts)Third party sellers have the ability allowed to block reviews that include certain terms. Reviews for products that Amazon retails are only censored for legal concerns (like stalking threats) or spam.
