Kim Kardashian West: I Don’t Think I’m a Feminist

http://motto.time.com/4441953/kim-kardashian-feminist/

Kim Kardashian West doesn’t think of herself as a feminist, she said Friday in a keynote interview at the BlogHer 16 conference.

“Everyone always says, are you a feminist?” she said during the interview in Los Angeles. “And I don’t think that I am.”

“I don’t like labels,” she said in remarks reported by BuzzFeed. “I do what makes me happy and I want women to be confident and I’m so supportive of women… But I’m not the ‘free the nipple’-type girl.”

Kardashian West—who has spoken out against body shaming and has posted her share of nude selfies—gave a similar answer last year when asked if she is a feminist.


Normally, I don't care what Ms. West has to say, but somehow I think she doesn't understand what a feminist is. Not surprised.

Sorry, but she probably should have stopped at the word "think".

I don't buy for a second that she keeps posting nude pictures because she's protesting body shaming. I just think she is a very damaged and delusional young woman who has a gigantic need for attention.

for your nipple, your butt, your whatever to be slathered all over magazines and the internet....why do these people exist anyway???

And for the record-people today still talk about Marilyn Monroe. Kim K. is no Marilyn Monroe.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! She said she is not a "free the nipple'-type girl". She is not a free the nipple type of girl because her nipples are rarely confined. Is she talking figuratively? What does she mean? Does she mean that she does not want to walk around in public without a bra or a shirt? If that is the case then she needs to stop posting nude pictures on the internet. How can someone say they are not a free the nipple type of girl when they are constantly taking nude pictures of themselves and posting them on the internet?

I do not have a problem with her not being a feminist. I have a problem with her making a living off of being half naked and naked and then claiming she is not a free the nipple type of girl. She has thrown her nipples and just about every other part of her body in the faces of the world for about more than 10 years.

I cant tell you how many young women, even liberal young women, say they favor gender equality but don't call themselves a feminist. To them they think the label is outdated and obsolete to describe the type of movement they want.
