I might be alone in this, I hope not, but is anyone else disappointed by the slut shaming and vitriol aimed towards her?

Her husband is a disgusting reptile, that's a given. But in the last day or two I have seen her called a tramp, gold digger, whore, slag, dirty, and trash.

Today a 'feminist' page on FB - this one if you're interested www.facebook.com/feministnews.us/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE
published a meme about her basically laughing at how thick she supposedly is. What was particularly horrible were the comments underneath from women, all who you would assume to be feminists as they follow the page. Vile comments including 'I hope they wiped down the chair she sat on in the white house' and 'when do they install the stripper pole'.

I understand that feminism doesn't mean that all women are above reproach but really? We have a man in the White House who hates women, direct your hatred at him!

And tbh as she's married to DT I suspect her life isn't a picnic, he is a nasty bully.

I totally agree. There was a vile thread yesterday where she was referred to as "Melanoma". I'm surprised it is still there. I am absolutely no fan of Donald Trump but she seems undeserving of all the vitriol.

Absolutely agree.

Given that he has boldly stated that he treats women like shit, I very much doubt her life is a rose garden. He seems to have done what he could to make her look like shit during his campaign too, what with giving her a couple of plagiarised speeches to read, and discussing her as if she's not present while she's standing next to him.

She may well not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but so what? She isn't the President elect, for our sins, her vile shit of a husband is and that's who we should be directing our rage at. However, it does seem to be easier to punch down on women, doesn't it?
