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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
