Spoken from a male with no self respect


y?
It's nothing we haven't seen before.
There are far more important things happening as of late that should be as widely discussed as the Kardashians latest bs

It was very immature of her to talk back to Chloe like that tbh.

As for the nude selfie, she's a married woman with two children. Can she not have some respect for herself? If she was single then I guess you could say that.. There are countless examples of mothers trying to make the world better and working their asses off for their kids. What's she doing? Taking her clothes off because it's the only thing she can do and is good at.

Not entirely sure if it empowers women - empowering HER, yes

On the fence about if what she did was good/bad or whatever.

Firstly I think she's a mum should she really be doing that for the sake of her children and family, and the point of self respect, having value/morals and acting like a lady - But then I think Kim has earned millions from business contracts etc. so as much as i'd like not to admit, she does have the intelligence of a business mind (which I think not enough people notice) I give respect to her for doing her own thing and making a name out of herself and her family who are all business people alike, however not so much respect for the kind of attitude where she knows she's got it all so she can do whatever she wants (but then if we was in her position with millions of money in her account and the (worlds most famous person?) would we be having the same attitude as her?

Kim k posted a "nude" on twitter ..I wouldn't really classify it as a nude because she has her areas censored.
I personally don't think it was bad because if she's got it ... then flaunt it right?
I don't see how it empowers women though lmao

Chloe moretz said that Kim needs to show women that we are more than just our bodies and Kim insulted her back...

What do you think of this?

UPDATE: An article I found on what kim k said in regards to her selfie
“Hey, guys. I wanted to write a post elaborating on my tweets last night,” Kim begins, in an essay Just Jared states was posted on her website.Kim continues, “In all seriousness, I never understand why people get so bothered by what other people choose to do with their lives. I don’t do drugs, I hardly drink, I’ve never committed a crime—and yet I’m a bad role model for being proud of my body?” She then addresses all the comments that refer back to her sex tape. “It always seems to come back around to my sex tape,”says Kim K. “Yes, a sex tape that was made 13 years ago. 13 YEARS AGO. Literally that lonnng ago. And people still want to talk about it?!?!” She explains that, at the time, she lived with fear and embarrassment, but later decided to move on and be better. “I shouldn’t have to constantly be on the defense, listing off my accomplishments just to prove that I am more than something that happened 13 years ago,” asserts Kim, urging everyone to move on and stop shaming her for her past actions.

“I am empowered by my body. I am empowered by my sexuality. I am empowered by feeling comfortable in my skin. I am empowered by showing the world my flaws and not being afraid of what anyone is going to say about me,” reveals Kardashian West. “And I hope that through this platform I have been given, I can encourage the same empowerment for girls and women all over the world.”“I feel so lucky to have grown up surrounded by strong, driven, independent women. The life lessons I’ve learned from my sisters, my mother and my grandmother, I will pass along to my daughter,” Kim announces. “I want her to be proud of who she is. I want her to be comfortable in her body. I don’t want her to grow up in a world where she is made to feel less-than for embracing everything it means to be a woman.”


“It’s 2016. The body-shaming and slut-shaming—it’s like, enough is enough. I will not live my life dictated by the issues you have with my sexuality. You be you and let me be me,”Kardashian West concludes. “I am a mother. I am a wife, a sister, a daughter, an entrepreneur and I am allowed to be sexy.”She ends her essay with: #happyinternationalwomensday.In writing this essay, we’re glad Kim took a moment to stand by her decisions and to explain that she chooses to embrace the way she’s expressed her confidence instead of allowing negativity to get the best of her. In the end, she makes a great point she’s allowed to make her own choices, especially when it comes to her body and her sexuality.


Its just self respect to not post naked pictures of yourself on social media tbh

I don't see how it's empowering, but at the same time I don't understand these comments suggesting she have some "respect for herself"... like shut up you prudish boobs
Does anyone actually care what the Kardashians do? They are 'celebrities' of their own invention.

I have far more important things to be doing, like organising M & M's into alphabetical order.

Like 50 million followers on twitter seem to care what they do.

She's a mum now that's why her privates are blacked out now, as opposed to being fully nude haha

In your dreams sweetheart.

I hope to have a career when I'm 35, I don't plan to be an attention seeking blow up doll.

maybe even Kim's sex tape itself, and enjoyed it. But oh no, a woman enjoying her own body as more than a sexual object? OBSURD, RIGHT?


It's "absurd".

There's a fair difference between following someone on twitter and wanting to see naked pictures of them, but I take your point.

I think she can do what she likes. If a woman chooses she wants to use her body to make money, why should anyone stop her? Exactly the same goes for men. The number of ripped muscly men who are always walking around topless or in films topless to attract fame and female fans is ridiculous! Why can't Kim do it too? She has a great body. She doesn't hide the fact that it's her appearance and body that have put her in a position she can take advantage of and make money out of. Fair enough when for example actors or even on the level of things like secretaries only get jobs because of their looks when there are talented and more able people out there... that's not good. But Kim's talent is her appearance (which there is NOTHING wrong about, some are blessed with brains, some beauty, some both) and her manipulation of the media (she has created a brand out of herself and works very hard for it which is a real talent in itself).

Why is when a woman shows of her body she's "disrespecting herself" and "not valuing her worth". SHE is choosing to do it because she has confidence in her appearance (mainly because she's beautiful)! The crazy thing is she's barely even doing it for men because her fan base is women and it's women who buy into it because they appreciate and probably covet her beauty!

If you don't want to buy into it then guess what you can do... ignore it! People are idiots.

You can post full nudes on twitter (in fact I am quite the twitter porn aficionado :lol:)

Of course it doesn't but then again she isn't compelled to empower anyone.

She's a talentless nobody who became famous for a sex tape and a marketing driven discussion on the topic of feminism.
I don't think it empowers women but I don't think it means she has no self respect. I don't see nudity as a big deal though.
She only posts them to generate income. Not to empower women. The only raising up the kardashians care about is to their net worth.
i wish we could get a soviet style firing squad to gun down the kardashians and other social media whores alike. they are an embodiment of everything wrong with the world!
This woman is so full of ****. She hides behind the word empowered it's more like a cry out for attention, attention whore is more correct. If the media stopped giving her attention she would go insane. She just had a baby, i would think that would make you feel empowered but nah. But that's ok, her life.
