Kim Kardashian Explains Why She’s Not a Feminist
Reality star Kim Kardashian has written an essay on her website, explaining exactly why she’s not a feminist.
Kardashian’s blog post comes two weeks after she received backlash from an interview where she refused to accept being called a “feminist.”
The essay says Kim believes that a feminist is “someone who advocates for the civil and social rights and liberties of all people, regardless of their gender,” and who believes that women should have the same choices and opportunities as men…
Kim says that “of course” she stands for those values, and adds, “Obviously, there are things about me that people might say make me a feminist: I work hard, I make my own money, I’m comfortable and confident in my own skin.”
She said, “I encourage women to be open and honest about their sexuality, and to embrace their beauty and their bodies,” but she said labels such as “feminist,” “Democrat,” “plus-size” and “bisexual” create “separation.”
“It’s not about he, she, gay, straight, black, white. The fight for equality is about ALL human beings being treated equally – regardless of gender, sexuality or ethnicity.”
