I, for one, am glad people are getting bored with it and it’s becoming not a shocking thing anymore. Maybe it’ll normalize the human body enough that people will stop being such pearl-clutching prudes all the time (not you Bobby, just in general.
You go Kim. You go straight to the Salon and get rid of those braids. But…
Yeah but that surrogate was paid to sit around and birth a baby... good money at that. Its not like they forced her to conceive their child.
That may be why people originally knew of her ages ago....I think now people know of her because she built an insanely successful media/beauty/entertainment brand/empire and is tremendously successful in her lane.
Immodesty under a slut-shaming rape culture can be confidence too though, whether a woman is attractive or not. That doesn’t mean Kim Kardashian is any kind of feminist hero (before the strawmen start). But since everything about women and girls from respectability, value, what causes one gets to be a part of, what…
She is generating publicity for herself and her brand. And here we are all talking about it, so her plan is working!
Kim’s pictures don’t bother me but the hair does, like yeah the braids looks good on her but she shouldn’t be freakin wearing them. I think the Kardashians and Kylie (not Kendall) get away with a lot of this culture vulture stuff is bc they have an “exotic” look, in other words they have made their bodies their faces…
Female Modesty does not equal security. But in Kim K’s case I just think it’s her doing what she does. Not really a matter of security or insecurity a this point. She enjoys her idea of beautiful and sexy pictures and the public reacts because we’re prudes.
Andrew Ti on Yo Is This Racist once said it’s so much easier to listen to if you think of it as a minstrel show but of white people
Yes I know. I meant take it another step and LEAVE. Don’t stay and sit on the floor while he plays with your hair or watch a movie. You aren’t into him? Stop and leave. Shut that down asap. I’ve been in grace’s position a million times. Up until a few years ago I would have acted evavtly as she did. So I get it. I…
Oh I fully agree with you. I’d also like the conversation to steer in the direction of “how can we raise young women so they feel like they can say no?” Yes the men need work, yes yes yes. But so do we. Human beings need work in order to learn healthy intimacy and healthy interaction. I don’t know what how to do this…
I’m not a huge fan of Kim (and I really don’t like Kanye), but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with choosing a baby name that has significance for one parent and not another. My husband and I have picked a boy name (if we have one) that echoes my brother’s name, since he’s so important to me. My husband was fine…
Explain to me how he coerced her. He has no power over her. He’s not in a position of authority over her. If his fame gave him power over her, that was her choice. Ansari is probably no more than 140 lbs soaking wet, so he’s not even a physical threat to her. She engaged in sexual activity with him. He never had…
It isn’t illegal for me to trip a five year old and scream “asshole” in their face.
Has anyone else read the KatyKatiKate piece “Not That Bad” where she basically discusses this whole thing in terms of taking control of your own narrative and this is why there are women who are dismissive of Grace. A friend of mine shared it with me after she got angry at me for not being up in arms about sisterhood…
I agree that legality is not the source of morality or ethics, but it is illegal to trip people, it is illegal to steal someone’s food, and, depending on how you do it, it can be illegal to berate others in certain situations.
I am not a troll, I am a trying to demand answers or make excuses, what I want to know, is why, referencing #2 - she didn’t just leave? If it was bad sex, bad date, you leave. I’ve left bad dates, I’ve stopped bad sex. If someone keeps repeatedly trying to reengage in sex I dont want, I leave. She should have left. He…
I have no doubt that this was a bad experience for her. But the term “sexual assault” is a legal term with legal definitions. And this does not meet them. Do not water down the term by declaring this sexual assault. However, I do think it’s a great conversation about communication and expectations between partners.
Oh, she did not have his shit. From https://deadspin.com/larry-nassar-in-letter-to-judge-listening-to-victims-s-1822203963
