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.

I am not saying this because she is making a useless picture with The freak for publicity but because of the highlights [liberated the women/feminism/and whatever they thought they were doing for the cause of the women] Total bullshit. They can show their everything -I mean they both look real good naked Spoiler Kim should bring a brown bag for her messed face tho- but doing it for what it is: Not feminism but social media exhibitionism and how many views and likes and tweets they are going to get. Social media intelligent, reality dumb.
March 31, 20169 yr There's so much feminism going on in this thread. Piers Morgan is so proud right now.

Social media intelligent, reality dumb. I agree Kiki. Being a feminist doesn't mean showing your tits every given opportunity, it's just a cry for attention and tbh not all attention is good for you, especially if she's trying to transition into acting and wants to be taken seriously in the industry. And this clearly doesn't help the cause of women, they just look extremely dumb and desperate for attention.
April 2, 20169 yr I think a lot of you have missed the point. It's fine to criticise people for being attention-hungry or pandering to the lowest common denominator, etc. But the reaction that Kim K got to her boring censored nude selfie wasn't just criticising her for being predictable or boring, which the picture was (although in that case why were people so incensed and eager to talk about it?), they were critcising her for being a whore. People said she was a bad mother, slutty, not "pure" and demure like a mother/wife should be. This article verbalises it a lot better than I could: http://www.playboy.com/articles/kim-kardashian-slut-shaming That logic is a holdover from a time that no woman should be eager to revisit. I do think a lot of it was directly related to it being Kim, who inspires a lot of hate in a lot of people for a lot of legitimate reasons, but Emily herself has gotten flack for posing naked (just look at this thread! In fact, look at Schemer a few comments ago. There's not really a basis for that opinion other than she posed for Frederick's and got naked a lot. Therefore = trashy. An irrational, backwards way of thinking). Emily is correct that people are screwed up in the head for attacking a woman simply for showing her body or being sexual. However, she hasn't done a great job so far of articulating her point and has aligned herself with a polarising figure who's famous for being famous. It's not the PR move I would have chosen but I have to give her credit for being true to what she believes.
April 3, 20169 yr No, I did not miss the point Yes people should be ashamed for vomiting their hate but this is Internet and the haters will hate whatever this woman is posting/doing/tweeting/exposing. And even if I don't think Kim is a slut or a bad mother I really do not feel any empathy towards her. And contrary to Schemer I think Emily is a very classy woman. Dressed or naked she looks elegant.
April 3, 20169 yr Emily a incredible class, she is beautiful, very woman, that's what the "moldy" do not support. They want to return women to the 18th century .
April 3, 20169 yr 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.
April 4, 20169 yr one picture with kim kardashian got her more attention than treats, blurred lines, and sports illustrated
April 7, 20169 yr you remember those videos from treats! that have been on vimeo for free for years? well they want you to pay for them now. no new footage, just the same clips with a new price tag. interesting business model Spoiler
April 7, 20169 yr Those videos probably still get a ton of hits from people who dig a little further than the blurred lines video, so they probably calculated that they could profit like heck off it. It's pretty unique for a rising actress and sex symbol like her to have a fully nude shoot of her available on the internet from years before.
