Has Kim missed the mark?
In honour of International Women’s Day, Kim Kardashian has released a whole new selection of Kimojis about female empowerment.
Sharing the news with fans this week, Kim said that it was a proud moment for her to release the new package which features emojis that read “The Future Is Nasty”, “Full-Time Feminist” and “Grab America Back”.

However, but the new emojis have not been well-received by many who are throwing it back to a time when Kim said she was not a feminist.
Back in 2016 at a conference for female bloggers, Kim was asked whether or not she considered herself a feminist, to which she said:
“I don’t think that I am. I don’t like labels. I do what makes me happy and I want women to be confident.
“I love to support other women but I’m not the ‘free the nipple’ type girl.”
Whether Kim has changed her position the issue is unclear, but what is clear is that this latest release hasn’t gone down too well.
Women’s Empowerment emojis is a slap to every women who has stood to fight for our rights. I’m sure #AnnFrank #MalalaYousafzai #rosaparks fought for us all so u can use girl power to sell this…All Class pic.twitter.com/eJsJ4dV8PZ

I thought you’ve said before you don’t identify as a feminist? But if you do now, that’s great!!
