Kim K

Kim Kardashian, for years, has been endlessly mocked for her “bear all” selfies and provocative outfits. Her pictures and styles have been deemed inappropriate and selfish, but could there be a silver lining?

There is no denying that a majority of what Kim Kardashian does comes from a desire for the spotlight but intentional or not, her selfies and style represent a woman taking control of her femininity and body image. Kim Kardashian has used social media to manipulate how people view her body. She has used this power to protect herself from tabloids who, on many occasions, have commented on her weight, body, and style.

While provocative clothing and selfies aren’t for everyone, celebrities who have embraced their bodies such as Kim Kardashian have posed as representatives of the idea that women should not be ashamed of their bodies. Women should not feel as though the gender and appearance of their body determines the respect that they receive from others.
