On October 3rd, Kim Kardashian-West was robbed of $10 million dollars worth of jewelry in her Paris apartment. Kim was bound, gagged, and held at gunpoint. This is an incredibly terrible act, and no one should ever go through what she went through. Unfortunately, this happens every day to many unsuspecting victims.
The sad thing is because she's rich she apparently deserved it. That's the problem with the world; a woman gets robbed, but because she's rich or they hate the family, people automatically jump the gun and say she deserved it or she's faking it.
According to multiple sources, Kim said she feared she was going to be raped. I've seen so many jokes about it saying she wouldn't mind, etc. She deserves to be raped? What kind of sane person thinks that? This is a prime example of rape culture at its finest. A woman who has donated millions of dollars a year, an active feminist, a loving mother, wife, and daughter, just deserves to get raped? It's disgusting that we think this way. It doesn't matter that she's all of those things I've stated before; she's a woman first and foremost. She did not deserve this.
Kim has been in the spotlight almost every day for a long time. To have her almost completely disappear from the spotlight, it kind of shows that she has some emotional damage as a reaction to the crime. She's been seen holding her daughter, North, wearing baggy clothes. If you know Kim, you know this is strange for her.
It's time to stop victim blaming Kim and all other victims. If we want to better ourselves as a nation, it's time to care more about the victim. The victim is never to blame.
