Stop Comparing Kim Kardashian and Ayesha Curry

Stop Comparing Kim Kardashian and Ayesha Curry
The Daily Beast

Social media loves to take a stab at celebrities, but as of late Kim Kardashian has been at the receiving end of most of the hate and gossip. This can be linked to Kardashian's unwillingness to comply with society's expectations of a woman's appropriate behavior. Kardashian has engaged in "immodest" behavior such as creating a sex tape with previous boyfriend, Ray J. Kardashian is also known for posting "revealing" photos on the internet. Lately, the internet has gone so far as to compare her to Stephen Curry's apparently perfect wife, Ayesha Curry. Ayesha Curry appears to symbolize everything that Kardashian is not. However, the comparisons need to stop.

Let's take a look at just some of the hateful comparisons.

This first tweet attacks Kim K as a potential role model while setting both Blake Lively and Ayesha Curry on a pedestal. This is just ridiculous. There are plenty of reasons why Kim K could and should be a role model. To begin, Kim K is one badass business woman. She collaborated with Glu Mobile to create Kim Kardashian: Hollywood which has generated millions (maybe even billions in profit). Also, ShoeDazzle, Keeping up with the Kardashians(tv show), and the clothing store, Dash are all businesses which she either spearheaded or is heavily engaged in. She isn't just famous for being famous. She's busy building a brand. That's impressive. She's my role model for sure. I hope to be even half the business women that she is.

Here's even more hate.

This tweet really is just upsetting and beyond idiotic. If you didn't know, Kim Kardashian is married to Kanye West. So, this individual attacking Kim K for not being a wife like Ayesha Curry is just ridiculous. This tweet insinuates that there's a proper way to be a wife which is beyond me. How can people attack Kim K's ability to be a wife? Do we live with her and Kanye? I didn't think so. This tweet is really just an attack at Kim K's style of womanhood. Let's stop that.

Last, but not least.

Now, this tweet is just so wrong. It tries to categorize women into either a personality like Ayesha Curry's or Kim K. I shouldn't even have to put it out there that this is just beyond unrealistic. Women don't just fit into two perfect categories. There aren't just Ayesha Curry and Kim K kind of women. Let's get real.

Why does the internet really attack Kim Kardashian?

1. Kim K's sex tape with Ray J


Kim K is always being criticized for making a sex tape with previous boyfriend, Ray J. The two made the tape in 2003 and it was leaked in 2007. The video was made by two consenting adults (all that really matters), but still everyone seems to be absolutely outraged about it. It's about time we simply get over it. It's not our business. The focus should be on the fact that certain individuals think its okay to release such private material for profit. Also, take note that nobody seems to care that Ray J was in the sex tape. Sexism at its finest.


2. "Kim K posts naked photos and doesn't respect herself."

I'll just leave this here.

I don't remember men being shamed for this sort of nudity. Again, sexism prevails.


At the end of the day, we need to stop hating on Kim Kardashian because she's not everything that we want her to be. What works for her doesn't have to work for you. Also, we aren't in any position to judge. Imagine every single mistake you've ever made being publicized. You'd probably look like a shitty person too. Kardashian is human and we seem to forget that. She's also a strong woman who refuses to conform to society's expectations. She won't cover her body to your liking or apologize for her sexuality. This isn't a reason to look down on her or pit her against Ayesha Curry. When we pit women against each other, we allow sexism to win. Remember that.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
