Okay, let us talk about her sexuality, which is probably the thing she is known for the most and is the biggest part of her 'brand'. Yes, she continues to get naked. Why? Because she wants to make more money, more headlines and attention, and, unfortunately for her, this is pretty much the only way that she can get it. There were women before her doing the same, let's say Madonna. The difference is, they also had other ventures to rely on, those where they were competing with men and besting them in some cases. Kim's career is built on doing everything to be attractive to men, and that's fine. I'm not judging her for it. But feminist? Not in my opinion. |
Ahh, silly. We don't do surface level fem-thought over here.
First, Kanye doesn't control how much she weighs. At all. Secondly, he styles her. Most celebrities have stylists. It just so happens that Kim's is her husband. And it's dense to think it's all about "woman not letting man do x". There's no issue with a man dressing his wife. The issue comes in when a man dresses his wife simply because he is man and she is woman. That's not what's going on here. Kim lets Kanye dress her because she thinks he has great taste. Not because she's a woman and believe's her wardrobe is a male's decision.
Now, on to her sexuality. She gets naked because she likes too. She enjoys being naked. And there's nothing wrong with that. That literally can be the reason. There doesn't need to be some 'artistic statement' along with it. It's the human body. What does 'women before her doing the same' have to do with any damn thing? Hint: it doesn't. Kim also has "other ventures" to rely on. She's the executive producer and star of a hit, 10+ season TV show and several spin offs. She's the owner of several boutiques. She has a hit video game. She just produced a documentary on mental illness with EMMY winners. She has a highly successful kids clothing line. In her own words, she has "like 30 businesses". But it's you, and the general public, that reduces her to sex and only sex (which again, would not be an issue). You base your opinion on her off of a few photoshoots, and not everything else she does. That's your own misogyny.
