WOMEN ARE BOYCOTTING IVANKA TRUMP'S FASHION LINE AND STORES THAT SELL THEM

Despite her father’s uncanny ability to offend and alienate women more with each passing day, Ivanka Trump has managed to maintain a relatively high level of respect throughout Donald Trump’s turbulent presidential campaign.

Some would say Ivanka has even been the one saving grace for a candidate who is increasingly being viewed as little more than a misogynistic narcissist by many Americans — particularly women.

But some women have had enough and are no longer willing to turn a blind eye as Ivanka continues to lend her father unwavering support while simultaneously claiming to advocate for women’s rights. Shannon Coulter is one of these women. On October 10, Shannon — a San Francisco-based brand and digital strategist, called on Americans to boycott Ivanka Trump’s eponymous line of clothing and accessories, which is estimated to be worth $100 million, according to Forbes.

Some women had been contemplating a boycott of the Ivanka Trump Collection even before Coulter launched her campaign. Amy Andelora, a 52-year-old high school teacher in Mesa, Arizona, told Cosmopolitan that the Donald’s offensive hot-mic comments also compelled her to stop shopping Ivanka’s line and to hold retailers accountable for selling it. “Days after the tape’s release, Andelora tweeted a plea to Neiman Marcus, asking the retailer to remove Ivanka’s line. She is also boycotting her favorite store, Nordstrom, where she says she formerly spent ‘hundreds of dollars per month,'” according to the article. -Yahoo style
