There seems to be some weird desire to turn Kim Kardashian into a feminist icon.

I honestly don't know why. :idk:

 

Because Kanye is ashamed of her past.

Now what? Making a porn video like the other idiot to make a point & express her sexuality?

When I thought Emily was a intelligent girl :/

 

I wasn't aware getting publicity from hanging around one of the most famous woman on the planet was a stupid thing to do?  Get more interest Em's, get more fame.

Depends what kind of publicity you seek. Not that EmRata was some classy chick to begin with. These two fit together quite well.

I have no problem with Kim Kardashian playing the game to get wealthy.

More power to her.

I do think it's nonsense to re-frame that as a feminist act.

It's not. A truly feminist act tries to subvert the patriarchy.

By making her money as a sex object, Kim Kardashian is reaffirming the roles that our culture has deemed acceptable to women.

 

The dominant culture has always allowed some individuals who are members of an oppressed class to gain wealth and success.

But that success is gained on the terms of the dominant culture.

 

e.g. C.J. Walker, a black woman, the daughter of two slaves, who managed to become independently wealthy during an era which was both incredibly sexist and racist.

Her success as an individual did not mean that life was still not very difficult for most people who shared her gender or race identity.
