Kim Kardashian, who is known for being famous for no d*mn good reason, is making her rounds in the intellectual circuit. Yeah, you read that correctly.
On June 30, Kim will lecture about the objectification of women in media (you read that correctly, too ... she is really giving a lecture on this topic).
And recently, in her Cannes Lion talk, she discussed her tech presence, where to the world’s surprise, Kim said she takes too many bikini selfies.
Well, maybe for some people.
“I have really stayed true to myself on Instagram,” she said. “Maybe I post too many bikini selfies for some people, but my Instagram is exactly what I want.”
Despite acknowledging her followers’ criticism, Kim says she listens to her gut when deciding what to post on social media - to designers’ dismay.
“I will only post a picture of a brand I like if I really love it. And I also say that my Instagram is off limits in my business contracts," she said.
“I know some of the brands I work with might get frustrated."
"I’ve actually unfollowed people who post too many brand-related Instagram pictures because I don’t believe in it. I can smell it a mile off.”
During the talk, she also touched on the challenges of launching her iPhone game, Kim Kardashian Hollywood, in a male-dominated industry.
“I feel excited that we brought a female fanbase to the gaming world,” the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star said. “I think that it has been a new venture for me and scary for me to step into such a male-dominated world.”
This is all fine to talk about, Kimmy.
But each time you strip off your clothes and sell your body and soul to the media, you reinforce male dominance. We're just saying.
If you are going to be the voice of female empowerment and feminism like you're flirting with here, you’ve got a loooong way to go.
