I follow the Kardashians (I’m a huge Khloe fan), but why does Kim have to say such dumb things. I mean, she says a lot of dumb things on Twitter, but I had to post something about this gem from today:

While I agree that a tabletop diaper change is unappetizing, why is Kim Kardashian taking issue with breasts? Maybe she doesn’t realize that boobs actually exist to feed babies and not just to be accessories in sex tapes. As someone who plans to breastfeed (very likely without a cover), this comment really annoyed me. I don’t think breasts are a big deal, period, but there is especially no  reason a woman needs to cover her baby’s head with an uncomfortable cover just so that Kim Kardashian doesn’t have to see a nip. I wonder what Kim would do/say if someone complained about her sister Kourtney breastfeeding her son Mason.

Edit: Here is a great piece expanding on the topic with awesome illustrations: Kardashian’s Call to Cover Up.

I knew this issue would blow up the moment I saw her tweet, and it certainly has. While she is certainly hypocritical, I would like to point out that I don’t think we should be telling Kim K to cover herself up either (other than to make a point). Telling a woman how much skin to or not to show has been used throughout history as a way to control women and is not OK. Some women are modest. Some, like myself, are not at all. It is no one’s place to tell a woman how much of her body to cover – If you don’t like what you see, don’t look.
