Kim Kardashian is géén feminist. Zo zegt ze zelf op haar website.
Het betoog draagt de titel Waarom Ik Mezelf Niet Als Feminist Label. Hierin zegt ze dat ze zeker achter de waarden van feminisme staat:
For me, a feminist is someone who advocates for the civil and social rights and liberties of all people, regardless of their gender; anyone who believes that women should have the same choices and opportunities as men when it comes to education and employment, their bodies and their lifestyles.
Of course I want these things! I'm all about empowering and uplifting women.
Zo zegt ze. Ook zegt ze te begrijpen dat mensen haar als feminist bestempelen:
I work hard, I make my own money, I'm comfortable and confident in my own skin, and I encourage women to be open and honest about their sexuality, and to embrace their beauty and their bodies.
Het is meer het label dat ze - ongewild, dus - opgeplakt krijgt:
But why do we have to put labels on things? You're Republican, you're Democrat, you're bisexual, you're plus-size, you're poor, you're a criminal, you're a mother, you're a feminist. I'm a human being, and I have thoughts, feelings and opinions about a lot of different things.
Feminist of niet, ze zal wel blijven strijden voor de waarden waar de stroming voor staat:
I'll always fight for women's rights. Always. I support women to the fullest. But, at the end of the day, no one should feel pressured to be labeled as anything just because they believe in certain things and support certain values or ideals.
