In response...
First, let me start off by saying that I love Kim Kardashian. It has nothing to do with her vagina, where it’s been, who she has given it too, or who has racked up their number on the visitor counter. My love for her has less to do with what might be perceived as her residual desperation and continuous poor decision-making and more to do with her fashion sense and her undeniable girlishness. She is all woman with obvious insecurities, flaws, ups and downs…blah blah blah. She is undeniably human and is a victim to an even greater degree of the molding that prematurely stales most women of our time.
Secondly, just as a general reminder, I ask that we bear in mind that her engagement to Fugly himself has little to no effect on our lives whatsoever. (Note: MOST women are with men that are far less appealing physically than they are). Also, if it bothers you that much, turn your mothereffing television off and go exercise. K? Moving on…
I wholeheartedly agree that some of the backlash on this topic comes from women who feel women “like” Kim should not be given the chance at marriage when it is “so obvious” that she doesn’t deserve it. I can completely understand this side of the coin because as has been proven by my own personal experience and that of several women across the globe, sometimes you can be everything pure to a man and he still won’t give an ounce of a shit about being faithful to you or putting a ring on your finger. The scorned women trials are in. However, I also completely agree that as much time as women spend attempting to cultivate what they “think” is ideal for a man…the same, if not more time can be spent on just doing whatever the fuck they want: as a woman, as a person, and as a living being. Women are too often forced and trained to adhere to societal (AKA masculine) concepts about what a woman should be, say, and do. Dear women of the world, pandemic subservience died with your grandmothers.
The one thing I can grant extensive credit to Kim for is that she has no problem publicly admitting that she really expected to have a family by now. She has no problem airing out her own dirty laundry. If she is OK with it…then why the fuck are any of us losing sleep? Anyone out here acting as though they never filmed themselves with a lover, took naughty pictures, sold themselves short in a relationship, or in some way put themselves out there in a less than ideal and extremely vulnerable situation has not taken a shit for months.
In addition, I think we tend to forget that Kim, in a lot of ways, is just like the shorty sitting next to us on the train…the only difference is that the shorty sitting on the train does not have a magnifying glass on her life. It is easier to criticize someone or something that we feel has way more attention that they/it warrants because we are always hearing about them/it…….but the last time I checked…the very reason people are even famous in this country is because WE blow up their heads. I mean, are we or are we NOT the ones paying $400 for Lady Gaga concert tickets? Buying up copies of US and People? Butting heads with people in the club to get pictures at celeb appearances?
At the end of the day Kim is just an average betch that had plastic surgery and wakes up in the morning to put her face on…like so many other women out here and we…are enablers.
If we are so concerned about what we deserve and what we should have we sure as hell don’t act like with all of the meddling we do in other people’s lives. As Greg so delicately put it, “Step your personality game up to the level of your work ethic and stop being worried about another woman and her lifestyle.”
On the flip side…while a lot of women are indeed superficial I’d argue that this is often synonymous with a man dictating that he only wants a woman with a big ass, big breasts, a tongue piercing, or an ever elastic vagina. Men are visual, women are not…so much. This is not to say that we don’t appreciate a man with a six pack but we are not basing our decision of whether or not to get married on whether a man will be able to sustain that 6 pack for the next 100 years. Just saying…if you want me to birth your 3 children, keep my body tight, clean everything, cook perfectly, and sex you at least 5 times a week despite being tired…yep, I want a fucking 30 pound diamond and half of your 7 figure salary. There are some things I’ll do for love, sure…but wearing myself down for your selfish needs is not one of them. Women have to exhaust more to maintain themselves physically than men do but men are more visually stimulated. If your expectations are ridiculously high then why can’t mine be also?
