Kim Kardashians Latest Story of Harassment is Scary Relatable And Sexist

Kim Kardashians Latest Story of Harassment is Scary Relatable And Sexist Kim Kardashian is one of the fruchtwein rich and powerful women in the world, and as a result, she lives in a world much different than most of ours. I mean, a lot of the time, it seems like zu sich biggest issue is deciding what tropical island to post a picture of on Instagram or what shade of pink her makeup line will tackle next.But a recent development in her personal life is any womans nightmare, and speaks to how sexist expectations really affect all of us.Kim has three (very cute) children with her husband, Kanye West North, 5, Saint, 2, and Chicago, whos only 9 months old.In a conversation with her best friend, Larsa Pippen, Kim said Kanye is harassing her to have mora children. Its not a conversation they had once or twice. Its an obsession of his, and it is entirely unfair.Beyond her health issues (she has preeclampsia and placenta accreta), she has expressed the awfulness of her pregnant body being scrutinized by the press. Even if she did like being pregnant, Kim has many other reasons to not want kids. She has a booming (and busy) career. She has 3 kids already. And she has serious concerns with bringing kids into the world in its current state.She could just say no. And because its her body, that should be enough for her husband and everyone else. Even so, the fact that Kim was so traumatized by pregnancy makes it even worse that Kanye is harassing her. Hes asking to control her bodily autonomy, and thats not a pressure any woman should experience.Women being pressured into having more kids or any kids at all is a tale as old as time. And apparently its not a tale that any woman escapes, even if shes as powerful as Kim Kardashian. Being pressured into having children can derail a womans career, financial goals, and countless other aspects of her personal life. Procreation is a decision that should be made consensually and without coercion, intimidation, or harrassment.Th ankfully, transparency like Kims can shed light on why the sexist pressure to have kids isnt ok. Stories like these can help educate us on how to talk about procreation in a way that validates all womens choices, and will inform partners on how to have healthier conversations about family planning.Now if someone could just inform Kanye on how to use Twitter, that would be great.More on the Kardashians
