This was also my understanding of her comment. If you look at the context, it's obvious she's not honestly advising women to become some kind of agoraphobic shut in who never leaves her house for 9 months just because she's pregnant.

I'm sorry, but have you ever been pregnant? Going out in public can be AWFUL. People view you as public property that they can pat as they wish. They ask personal questions. They give you advice. They comment on how big you are. And that's without the awful press comments that Kim had aimed at her.

Yeah, being pregnant takes that whole thing of a woman's body being public property and turns it up to 11. Strangers feel free to touch your belly! In the supermarket! So I won't lie, I recognize what she is describing.

I don't think the wording is even slightly odd. She was hounded every time she left the house and her pregnant body was dissected in the press like a frog in a high school biology class. If she wore anything that she clearly thought was fun and bright and enjoyable, they stepped up the attacks. She's saying to her…

Exactly, she got so much shit for what she wore while pregnant she's saying ladies the only right answer is to never be seen.

I assumed that Kim Kardashian meant that if you leave the house as a pregnant woman and dare to have any pregnancy style whatsoever that someone will pick you to pieces.

Can't you just turn your camera to to front facing and use it like a mirror without taking the photo?

First of all, I'm really sorry. Second of all, please don't feel that you're trapped because of your daughter. This can only escalate and it is not in your daughter's best interest to see that kind of unhealthy relationship. The sooner you can exit, the easier it will be for your daughter. Staying will be damaging to…

This may come off as nitpicky, but I don't give a shit:

"The real kind of poor?" Are you fucking kidding right now? Please tell me you are kidding.

Alright so what if I made plenty of money for several years, at which time I bought some beautiful clothes, only lose my job and fall on hard times? Those clothes are still in great shape, probably because they were so expensive. So, instead of continuing to wear them, I'm supposed to go out and buy some crap clothes…

I saw this attitude a lot growing up. I lived in an affluent commuter town, that when the bubble burst (long before it hit the rest of the country) had people living in huge empty houses they couldn't afford to furnish (because they already sold all the contents and were sleeping in sleeping bags) and couldn't sell…

when I was homeless for 8 months following a fire (my entire building burned to the ground), all I had in the world were the things I had in my bag when I went to class/work that day. Once a person told me, when I was trying to apply for food from the campus food bank, that I was wearing make up and business attire,…

Yeah, people who say "sell everything you have to be worthy" have never tried to sell an asset that wasn't stocks, bonds, or property. It doesn't matter how much you originally paid, unless it is an antique and you're dealing with an appraiser you get a bare fraction of the original price. Pawnshops and thrift stores…

Because adjusting yourself to your new circumstances in a way that saves money isn't what's being discussed here. Instead, people are suggesting that it's wrong for people to continue to own "luxury" items they purchased before their current circumstances, even if (as in this case), holding on to the item makes much…

" earned a different income ago."

"People tell me 'no, don't do that, they'll just use it to buy alcohol.'"

It's a matter of perspective. I read the same paragraph (It's not easy. To qualify, you must be pregnant or up to six months postpartum....) and read it as her trying to educate the reader that's it's not so simple as walking in and saying "give me stuff". This article was addressed to people that haven't been on…

My best friend and I have been saying this for years. My parents, my two siblings, two grandparents and I lived on $35,000 of income for ten years, and then added maybe another $10,000 to that from my Dad's social security. In that time, we used SNAP, had Medicaid, and lived in a 1200 sq. foot house. For seven…

Monoculture of any kind is a long-term ecological nightmare.
