Kim Kardashian Debuts Hermès Bag Painted by Baby North

Read the rest of the comments. Read what everyone consistently has to say about this woman while only having a very rudimentary grasp on what her life is, who she is, and what she is about. I don’t necessarily think she’s a person who is perfect, but it’s sickening to see so many attempting to justify “opinions” that she’s “trashy”. And frankly, hell yeah, I’m going to hurl insults at these people who dehumanize a woman for reasons that are frankly stupid. “She has a sex tape!! She’s a whore!” Do people not understand that even if she was a saint, somebody, somewhere would label her a whore? Do they not understand how many sex workers are murdered for the reasons they’re using to spew vitrol at a woman they do not know?

An opinion stops being an opinion when it actively plays into systematic oppression and murder. End of story. If you’re sitting back and saying it’s fine to hate a woman because of those reasons, then you’re complicit in misogyny. There’s no excuse.

Sorry, I’m not going to relax, and no, women fight everywhere for women. It’s not your job to tell me when and where to fight, nor is it your job to gas light me and tell me my feminism is irrelevant, when, in fact, yours is.

You see, by saying that this form of feminism isn’t the same as physical fighting is a. Exploitative of those women in those countries and frankly, racist, colonialist and imperialist and b. ableist, classist, and ignorant as hell as you erase disabled feminist bloggers who cannot protest in the streets, or live in areas where those things are inaccessible, or hell, those women who are stuck in abusive relationships and home lives where they cannot make their voices heard anywhere else. Where they cannot exist as they wish to because they are bound to their oppressors.

You cannot call yourself a feminist if you’re actively exploiting women as part of an argument wherein you tell another feminist their being too loud, need to relax, need to calm down, need to shut up when they speak about how people attack women they do not know over her body, her choices, her work, the clothes she wears, the man she married, her family, her sex life, et al ad nauseum.

You can have an opinion about womens clothing and accessories without reverting to talking about what a cheap, tacky person she is. This is not a hard thing to grasp. Really. Stop talking shit about her body, her personality, and start commenting on the garments themselves without relating them to her body. I.E. I dislike that bag. Really. It’s that simple. “I don’t like that skirt.” Not “Ugh I hate her I don’t like that skirt or her ass blah, blah blah,” “Oh my god that top makes her look like a hooker!” Those are opinions that attack her person. Not her clothes. The clothes are an excuse to verbally harm her.
