What does a feminist look like?
That's easy. Of course, it's anyone who actually believes in women's rights and the equality of the sexes.
What does a feminist not look like?
Two words: Donald Trump.
But, according to his daughter Ivanka, we could be mistaken.
In an interview with the Sunday Times of London, the businesswoman and former model said: 'My father is a feminist. He's a big reason I am the woman I am today.
'People talk about gender equality. He has lived it, he has employed women at the highest levels of the Trump Organization for decades, so I think it's a great testament to how capable he thinks women are and has shown that his whole life,' she added.
Haha, you got us, Ivanka. Good one.
Wait, you're not joking?
You're being serious?
Well, this is awkward.
She continued: 'He always told me and showed me that I could do anything I set my mind to if I married vision and passion with work ethic.
'He's also surrounded me with strong female role models who have done just that since I was a little girl.'
Are we talking about the same Donald Trump?
The man who once said he'd date his daughter if they weren't related, called women 'beautiful pieces of ass', said all female contestants on The Apprentice flirted with him, and blamed sexual assault in the military on men and women living together?
Again, what does a feminist look like?
Maybe not your Dad, Ivanka.
