1. It's her body, so it's her choice.

Kim Kardashian is a grown woman who is capable of making her own decisions. So, if she feels comfortable taking a naked selfie and posting it online for the entire world to see, we should be comfortable with it too. It's her choice and it really shouldn't affect your life at all.

2. It shames her sexuality.

News flash! Women like to have sex! Just as much as men do! Ohhhh the horror. Unfortunately, some people act a woman's value/virtue is based on whether or not she is a virgin or how modest she is. We need to make sure women feel secure and safe about expressing their sexuality.

3. Women being publicly nude isn't a "new trend."

Women have been portrayed nude in many famous artworks such as Francisco de Goya's "The Nude Maja" and Titian's "Venus of Urbino" shown below. So women being nude publicly isn't this new phenomenon… so calm down.

4. It implies that being nude can't be empowering.

Here's a line that I love: "The empowerment lies in the autonomy of choice." This means that different things can empower different people. Some people simply like being nude but don't want it to be misinterpreted as something sexual Just like how some women who wear hijabs or other types of coverings don't want that to be misinterpreted as oppression. At the end of the day, it's their choice and we have no right to dictate to women how they should dress and what should empower them.

5. If men can do it, why can't we?

Personally, I am so sick of the double standards. If being nude is fine for a man to do, why can't it be fine for a woman, too? If a man gets praised for doing it, why does a woman get shamed? Women shouldn't have to be responsible for upholding this pure modest image while men can practically do whatever they want. It is unfair and nudity should be acceptable for both men and women.

6. It sends a positive message to girls.

This photo, believe it or not, is teaching girls to be accepting of yourself and to choose how you want to be viewed. It's making girls realize that we are in total control of our bodies and how they are displayed. Ladies, we should be able to do whatever the hell we want, am I right?
