AFAIK Kim DOES talk about blah blah blah...

So...are we done with the Kardashian worship around here? They’re bullshit and any pseudo female empowerment they sell is bullshit and privilege gift wrapped with internalized misogyny and cultural appropriation.

That’s the saddest thing I’ve heard in a while.  I’m so sorry that you had to hear that come from your daughter.  I always worry about my two girls and dread having to experience that with them.

Narcissistic rich person with no actual talent other than self-promotion is angry that accomplished professional half her age is accomplished, half her age, and has had the temerity to question rich person’s vapidity?

“I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies,” Moretz wrote.”

“it rubs the lotion on its skin, yessssss.....”
