"Ivanka Trump is turning into her father. The usually composed and genteel businesswoman gave a very Donald Trumpian interview to Cosmopolitan on Wednesday, in which she denied that Donald has said the things he’s said, stumbled over basic questions about his new maternity leave proposal, and scolded the reporter for doing her job. Then, when the interview turned out to be more pointed than a sweet conversation between gal friends, Ivanka bounced.
Donald Trump’s Ivanka-backed plan proposes six weeks of paid unemployment benefits for women who physically give birth to a child, paid for by cutting “fraud” in the unemployment insurance system. It does not include any paternity leave or leave for a mother who adopted her child or whose partner gave birth. Paternity leave has been proven to have lasting effects on greater equality in housework, child care responsibilities, and wages. Cosmo reporter Prachi Gupta pointed that out, and Ivanka brushed it off…”*

This is stupid. Women need time to recover after birth of the child.
-
So maternity leave is just for a woman to recover from the physical trauma of a natural birth? WTF
-
In Canada new parents get a year off for maternity leave... split in between both parents
-
6 weeks? It is 6 months to a year in Canada, depending on the job you have. US is so backward.
-
TYT is criticizing someone for losing their cool? I'm choking on the irony here.
-
why should she care...her kids are raised by nannies.
-
It's crazy! Canada just upped their maternity leave to 18 months. It can be divided in any way between the parents. Six weeks? Really? That is terrible!
-
speaking about pathetic journalism

The Orange doesn't fall far from the Tree.

We really need maternity leave... I'm 4 monthes along and the "bread winner" because I'n a nurse and my husband is still in school. I'm required to take time off and heal before going back to work, at least 6 weeks. That puts us at serious risk financially... Family leave would be nice but even the paid 6 weeks would help fill the gaping hole in my finances.
-
I wanted to see her walk out of the interview, not listen to you talk about her walking out
-
She left because the question didn't benefit her.
-
Let's stop for a minute and think about that Cosmo was asking real questions... But other mainstream media doesn't. That's hilarious.
-
I can't believe this family's running American 🤧
-
HOW DARE THEY ASK ANY QUESTIONS NOT ABOUT HER!!!!!
-
Maternity leave is supposed to not only give mom time to recuperate but also to help the mother and child to bond.
-
Nobody is triggered easier than the Trump family.
-
What's about single mothers?
-
Ivanka takes a page from Donnie's playbook. Poor little rich girl.
-
Canadians get 12 months mata/pata leave through our Employment Insurance program which can be split between 2 parents. It makes no difference whether the individual actually birthed the child/ren.
