well back to a serious response

your comment about negotiation has a term in the feminist lingo

it's like "the super woman" or something. they're using it to attack Ivanka

basically the argument is that SOME women are amazing and can do all these amazing things and they cannot speak for feminism b/c it creates an ideal that all women can do this, which reinforces the partriarchy and "right wing" beliefs about self determination

the argument is essentially that Ivank cannot be a feminist b/c she's done too well b/c she's legitimately really good at living her life. they are setting the bar really high for their followers

However, women today may actually be receiving the message that they should have it all and are experiencing stressors as a result of that pressure. Studies have found that girls who endorsed the superwoman ideal were also more likely to experience disordered eating behaviors. In contrast to the concept of the “Superwoman” and the possible negative effects it may have on young women, most research on feminist identity development have shown it to have a positive effect on both men and women. The gap in the literature today is whether there is a relationship between feminist identity and the superwoman ideal. The current study sought to examine a possible relationship between feminist identity and the superwoman ideal. Results indicate a significant inverse relationship between the passive acceptance stage of feminist identity and adherence to the superwoman ideal

They could have simplified their definition to:
