This is why it’s so funny/tragic when people degrade Kim Kardashian for the fact that she made a sex tape, calling her a worthless slut, gold-digging whore etc (literally everyone ever’s reaction when someone mentions Kim Kardashian. Congratuations, you’re so original! And such a charming person!)
Like.. she doesn’t care. She was horny and she felt like it. What other reason does someone need to make a sex tape with their boyfriend? The fact that he was then evil enough to completely violate her privacy and release the tape without her permission is his bad. That’s on him. He’s a cunt, as is any man who publicizes naked photos and video footage of women against their will. Also a criminal.
And it was one of the most shattering things that can happen to a woman. If someone released a video of me then god, I’d be heartbroken. I’d have crawled under a rock and never come out again. But she recovered and then made a hugely successful career for herself, her mother and all four of her sisters, and… people portray that as a bad thing? “Her whole family is only famous for her sex tape!!!” Yep, and? Go on, keep calling her a pointless whore. She can’t hear you over her multiple successful businesses, tv shows, endorsement deals and the guaranteed-safe futures of herself and her entire family.
Yep – this is also why, if you call Kardashian stupid or an attention whore or just a whore, you are a sexist.
No, please don’t try to add a caveat. If you don’t like what the Kardashians represent, you are a sexist. You are. Just deal with that and move on with your life. Because you’ve decided that a woman taking credit for a sex tape and building an entire reality-show empire around herself and her family – a woman who’s decided “people want to watch me, so I’ll let them watch me” – is doing womanhood wrong. You’ve decided that wanting attention, courting the media, having a sex life in the spotlight makes a woman less than you. You’ve decided that the biggest crime a woman can commit is “ugh, being everywhere, on all those magazine covers” when what she should have done is slink away back into obscurity, like she deserved.
Don’t pretend that you didn’t want her punished for releasing a sex tape. Don’t pretend that you don’t still want her punished. Because every time I hear you complain about the Kardashians of the world, that’s what I hear. And I’m way more sick of listening to you complain than you are of seeing Kim Kardashian’s face.
Ouch. Point and match.
