The fact @KimKardashian is selling feminist emojis for $2.99 on “International women’s day” & some birds are loving it sums up modern feminism 😂😂😂 #ChargedForYourBeliefs

Kim’s emojis are disrespectful. She’s throwing shade n using this to make $$$.

In the past the Kardashian has said that she doesn’t idenfiy as a feminist, but she told Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, “I said once before that I’m not really a feminist, but I feel I do a lot more than people that clain that they’re feminist. I feel in my soul I’m a feminist. I just don’t need label to make me feel or know what I am inside.”

Some were on board with the Kimojis.

 

the emojis @KimKardashian made are everything

I don’t get why. Women should love their bodies and feel safe and free enough to flaunt them as they please. These emojis just say that to me.
