Kim Kardasian: My Apologies

I take it you saw the selfie. The nude one. Well, the sort-of-nude one that bared-all behind two strategically placed black bars. The one that broke the internet, again. The one that led to lots of vocal backlash, critical comments and debates.

Mistakes are inevitable, it is how you respond to them that matters most. Y'see, over a year and a half ago, I wrote a whole blog-post disapproving of Kim's Paper Magazine shoot. And now slightly older and wiser I regret the things I said, and didn't say. I thought, at the time, that I raised some valid points, on reflection it was a series of low-blows. 

Armed with misplaced righteousness, I found myself, head first, in the middle of a clash between second and third wave feminists, caught up in this ongoing civil war when we are supposed to be fighting the patriarchy, not each other. I was unconsciously abhorring elements of male privilege and double standards. Where was my blog-post judging Tom Hardy, Justin Bieber or Adam Levine?
