Ivanka Trump posted a photo on Monday sitting behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office and female journalists lost their minds on Twitter.
In the shot, Ivanka was sitting between her father and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The photo was taken after she attended a meeting with female CEO’s from major U.S. and Canadian companies at the White House. The meeting was to discuss women in the workforce.
“A great discussion with two world leaders about the importance of women having a seat at the table,” Ivanka tweeted.

Almost immediately after, she was attacked by people and journalist from outlets like MTV, the Guardian, and The Daily Beast. Even CBS news tweeted that the photo “raises eyebrows.”
“well thank goodness nordstrom victim and noted politician ivanka trump is bringing our two nations together”, Anne T. Donahue with MTV tweeted.

“Ivanka’s claiming the mantle of feminism proves that the word has, once and for all, lost all meaning,” Erin Gloria Ryan with The Daily Beast tweeted.
