A lot of people weren’t happy when President Donald Trump had his daughter Ivanka sit in for him during a G20 Summit meeting, but MSNBC contributor Joan Walsh went a little further than in her criticism, faulting the first daughter, who’s also a special adviser to the president, for wearing a “girly” dress while doing so. “I don’t mean to sound sexist — it can be dangerous to comment on what women wear — but the fact that she sat in for her father in a dress that was so incredibly ornamental was such a contradiction in terms,” Walsh said. “And I think that what we see is that in patriarchal, authoritarian societies, daughters have great value — they are property. And the message that she is sending about her own value, about her place in the White House, and about the place of women in this administration, I think, are really frightening.”
