Shit, Now I Have to Defend Kim Kardashian

I truly hate that I'm in a position where I'm forced to defend Kim Kardashian. I really fucking hate it. However, body autonomy is a real ass thing, and it does not matter if it's your husband, your brother, your father, your preacher, or a random ass man on the street, no one has the right to tell you what you do with your body. It's your body, your choice.

In a recent clip from "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," Kanye West was practically scolding Kim for her 2019 Met Gala outfit. He said, "You are my wife, and it affects me when you're too sexy." Sigh...ok. So, shortly after that, Kim politely shut him down by stating, "You built me up to be this sexy person (with) confidence and all this stuff, and just because you’re on a journey and transformation doesn’t mean I’m in the same spot with you." She's not wrong, your Honor. Personally, I would have simply looked at him and said, "Well, that sounds like a personal problem."

Honestly, I loved this look, but I’m a huge fan or corsets and lingerie so I might be biased.

If we take a timeout and review the footage from the beginning of their relationship until now, we can see thousands of instances where Kanye actively encouraged her sexy image. There's the "Bound 2" video where she's completely naked while holding on to him as they ride a motorcycle off into the green-screened sunset. There's the times that he's styled her in mesh outfits from his signature Matrix post-apocalyptic clothing collection, and let's not forget the countless photoshoots, under his direction, for high profile magazine. And even if we forget about all of that, there's still the way he describes her in his own fucking music.

Furthermore, let's remember who Kim Kardashian was before she became Kim Kardashian West. She's always been a sexual person with an image that sometimes bordered on obscene. Her body is her image, and she, along with her entire family, have made their entire empire based upon their bodies. It's not shade, it's facts. Kim Kardashian has always worn revealing clothes that accentuate her curves, and it's her God given right to do so. Just because Kanye has found God (which I'm not entirely convinced about), doesn't mean that it should change. If Kim wanted to show up to the Met Gala in a pasties and a damn fig leaf, she can, and Kanye can't do anything about it.

Yes, he designed this ugly shit specifically for her.

Truly, this entire situation reflects two major points that people struggle to understand when they enter into marriage, or even basic ass relationships. First, don't enter a relationship with the point of trying to change someone once you're with them. Maya Angelou famously said, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." Not to bring up the past, but Kim Kardashian first made her big debut on the Hollywood scene through a sex tape. Although that's not an indication of her as a person, it is an indication of someone who is comfortable with their body and doesn't mind showing it off. You can't look at her in any way over the past couple of years and tell me that she has any intention of covering herself up because it's uncomfortable for you.

Second, a ring on somebody's finger does not entitle you to having ownership over that person. You do not own your partner. If you've ever spent any time in the Church, you can clearly read between the lines of Kanye's statement in that clip. “You are my wife, and as such, no one should get to see your body like that except for me.” It's the same reason why so many of us were unable to wear pants in church or skirts that stopped above the knee for years. Outdated and conservative views such as this is a form of violence, and I don't care what anyone says. You can tell by the way that he stormed out of the room that he was upset that Kim didn't immediately capitulate to his feelings. Please understand that you do not own your spouse or partner, and the only thing that you have to gain by that line of thinking is headache and hurt feelings.

In short, Kim, continue to wear whatever the fuck you want to wear. That man will be okay and get out of his feelings eventually.
