Kim Kardashian: Feminist Icon For A New Age

Why Kim Kardashian is deserving of your reverence

Kim Kardashian: Feminist Icon For A New Age
E! Online

Ok, so we all know by now the divine juggernaut that is Kim Kardashian-West.

From her humble beginnings in Paris Hilton’s closet (I started out in the closet too, does this make us twins?) to being arguably the most famous person in the world, Kim is an icon that everyone one has strong opinions on.

You either love her (because you’re not stupid) or you hate her (because you’re stupid). Kim is not only the biggest force in our pop culture, she’s completely unapologetic about who she is. To hate on Kim Kardashian is to hate on women in general. Kim has never been malevolent, malicious, or played dirty--and she even slayed Taylor The Snake (trademark TAS Enterprises 2016) for us, saving us from her terrible antics and even worse music.

I can mention how she’s an incredibly competent businesswoman, making $50 million of a video game we all played for 5 minutes. Like, seriously, we all played it for 4 months back in 2014, and she can already buy my whole existence. Or I can discuss how she turned the COMPLETELY NOT HER FAULT IN ANYWAY RELEASE OF HER SEX TAPE (WHICH WAS SO NOT COOL AND SHE WAS A VICTIM) into the greatest rise to fame this world has ever seen. Kim literally turned being the victim of a sex crime into an empire. Now, she owns her sexuality unapologetically, teaching a new generation of women to love their looks and curves. Her family ties run deep, and she is a devoted wife and mother. Kim is the modern version of "having it all."

I can go on about how she’s socially aware and all her other accomplishments, but what makes Kim so great is how she’s just herself. Kim is incredibly vain and materialistic and she just flaunts it. She knows who she is and it’s incredible. You never see her trying to seem like some perfect being or this great thinker. She’s successful because Kim is relatable. She knows how to laugh at herself and she genuinely just seems like she’s being herself.

She’s funny, loyal, beautiful, inside and out. That’s all.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
