Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, & “Feminist” Consumerism

My question is how did Kylie afford to start a makeup empire at the age of 15 if her parents cut her off? I am pretty sure she knows nothing about business or that she had enough capital without her parents.

[@stefanmakara373]

She is lying. I really don't understand why everyone is acting as if everything celebs say is true.

[@karlavim]

Because Kylie was getting paid for being in the show as a little girl and kris saved up her money. I’m sure somewhere it multiples

[@ziarrahshabazz9443]

She started her makeup brand in 2015 & she was 18 years old NOT 15 ( gotta check the facts first ) and by that age , she had saved up money from doing KUWTK & from brand collaborations with pacsun with her sister . Kylie and Kendall also started their own brand and made a name for themselves from 2012-2013 . She was very well prepared to step into the business world because she had started creating her empire around 2012 , she had a 3 year head start & experience. And also , when you grow up around cereal entrepreneurs like the kardashian family , you learn a thing or two.

The most disgusting thing that comes to mind was when Kylie completley copied Lauren Wasser in a modeling shoot with gold prosthetics. Lauren has actual prosthetics from toxic shock syndrom and her story of finding her style by painting them gold and that helping her return to modeling was so touching. Kylie blatantly took that idea to sell her cheap,crappy makeup

[@Jewelznme]

I forgot about this and it made me throw up a little

[@YourMajesty143]

Actually it's the opposite. Lauren Wasser recreated Kylie's controversial photo shoot and decided to put a positive spin on it. Kylie got a lot of heat for the cover photo, but it was for portraying ableism as "fashion" and for the magazine choosing to use Kylie instead of an actual disabled model. Anyhow, Wasser's decision to capitalize on it was an effort to garner media attention and spark a conversation, which wouldn't have happened if not for Kylie being problematic as usual.

[@CaraMarie13]

I just had a long conversation with the parent of a 17 year girl who said that if her daughter didn't go to college in the Fall, she could gtfo of her house. This 17 year old girl would fall straight (and immediately) into poverty and homelessness if her mom "cut her off". My mom never gave me a cent when I was growing up but I was still good because she was still feeding, housing, paying for my transportation, and medical insurance. Like i can pay for a good portion of my retirement with all that money i got but never crossed my hands.

[@peepit9327]

my immigrant parents say that individualism culture is a big reason why many americans are so poor, even when historically they had a bit more access to making money than people in other countries did. Having to be on your own paying for food/housing, child care/elder care, and other things leaves such a big dent financially. I met a girl in undergrad who was struggling financially to pay for school bc she didnt get financial aid due to her parents making too much. Allegedly they did not give her a dime to pay for school, which if it's true baffles me how there are higher income people who don't pay for things like their child's education and would rather leave them in debt to prove some weird point about independence.

[@zigm7420]

@@peepit9327 Believe it. My parents didn’t give me money towards college, but still claimed me on their taxes, and they made too much for me to qualify for student aid except some loans. So I worked 3 jobs, still ended up with 10 years of student loan debt, and to this day have to hear from them about why I’m not “doing better” (read: making more money) and endless suggestions on what careers I should switch to. The truth is, I took a job out of college that started me off way too low because I was desperate for an income. And that’s just hard to make up.

[@CaraMarie13]

@@peepit9327 unfortunately there too many people out there that fall under the "make too much to get assistance but not enough to not need it" category and with tuition being what it is, even people who say they are middle class (who most likely aren't but we need to keep in mind that identifying as middle class is an identity that many people take on) are having to face up to the reality that they just can't pay for their kids higher education in full. Personally I would pay for my kids school if i could but make it clear that I won't be financially responsible for them once they graduate and start working. I think too many parents just don't know how to straddle the fine line of spoiling their kids and building independence well so we end up opposite spectrums.

[@user-vd2jk7dl3p]

I think them paying for her medical and nothing else could be really good for her. She would get a job because she had to, (everyone is hiring now.) and develop skills that you don't get when someone else is paying for everything. She could even discover talent and abilities that she didn't even know she had because relying on yourself requires ingenuity. And after while if this was not working out the way she wanted it would incentivize her to go to college as her parents wanted in the first place.🤷🏿‍♀️

Qq

[@AbroadonaBudget]

The creator 'Cruel World Happy Mind' created an excellent documentary style video called 'The Kardashian Illusion: Bad Business and Shady Money' exposing every terrible, shady business they created or shilled. It's very... Trump like, in that the business seems based on portraying success but not always being that successful, good at business, or making good products (see most recently- Kylie swim, yikes). So the other issue related to their feminist consumerism is that they are basically over hyped MLM girl bosses and not even truly successful entrepreneurs. They are selling influence/attention, and even their terrible businesses and awful, low quality, over hyped products are part of generating more attention/ad money for further branding.

In the end they will always fall back to “selling their bodies” it’s for society decide whether that’s something to be admired. I personally don’t because they never own up to it and spend all their time trying to fool us into believing their just these amazingly intelligent businesses minds. If people would like to argue and say well selling their bodies to get this far is really smart business then we need to look at playboy models and sex work all way round and give them that same respect. You can’t disrespect them and praise the Kardashian’s.

[@briw1948]

Though I haven't been a fan of the KKK (Kim Kardashian Klan) for many years, the one thing that I do consider accidentally feminist of them is how they flipped a sex tape, something that's been historically used to destroy women's lives and careers, into a business empire. I don't agree with the empire itself but I do respect the Pheonix-like comeback story.

[@melw9147]

I will say that they proved it can be be beneficial for white women if spun correctly. Laurence Fishburne’s daughter also had a tape and media was more hard on her than Kim (although Kim did get dragged for it, she still has a booming career).

[@aic0809]

@@melw9147 I was coming in to say this very thing and appreciate you summing it up so well.

[@Kayla_P99]

How much of that was up to Kim though? Like it feels like a business move made by someone not on the tape. And to me, supporting an entire family on that means that members of the family are exploiting it.

[@Churros1616]

That does not make them a feminist. Women having sex for money is the oldest profession for women. Nothing trailblazing or feminist about it.

[@lauralarrabee7870]

Vanessa Williams did that before Kim. Vanessa’s career was nearly derailed when an adult photoshoot came out. Vanessa hired crisis management got married had a family and kickstarted her recording and acting career. And Vanessa can still fill concert halls and gets hired for shows.

Kylie voice on point. I often wondered about Kylie being cut off at 15/16. Was it for tax purposes? Kris never does anything unless there’s a monetary value in it.

[@elleshak621]

Even if Kylie’s parents cut her off at 15, she’s have the (huge) income she has from a show they put her on, which in turn, was used to springboard a multitude of other sources of income. She also still lived at home at 15. Her parents hardly left her high and dry.

I'm not sure at whose feet or which's institution to lay blame for the misunderstanding of feminism, a troubling development in the past let's say ten-fifteen years, as an ideology that is about uplifting the social status and class of a woman or that whatever a woman does is inherently feminist. The latter understanding is particularly irritating since there have been and continue to be numerous women who have no support for a feminist lens or political platform. The former is troubling because feminism is a specific theory, one that at the time and since, is radical. It is about looking at life through the lens of gender and sexuality and understanding how power operates along those lines. Read some Judith Butler, bell hooks, or Betty Friedman, or Lauren Berlant.

I liked this video before I even watched it because I was just arguing with my SIL over the toxicity of this family this week.

[@Larindarr]

Chelsea your voice of Kylie was SPOT ON 😂😂😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Smithereens007]

"All-seeing panopticon" Lmao, I love it!

[@feylights166]

Lol loved Chelsea's impression of Kylie XD

[@shelleynichols9626]

You had me at panopticon 😍

[@poshdelux]

[@louisachalarca6494]

Did anyone see the clip of Kendall not knowing how to cut the cucumber and kris just says ‘chef come here help’…. Id love to start the class war there with that chef lol

[@freddy7534]

Godamn sis is ruthless 💀 the way she dragged them with tact and eloquence I’m crying 😭

[@haydenduvall162]

Nailed it. Chelsea for President.

I haven't seen any of the "are the Kardashians feminist" articles but I'd like to see more stuff like that. I don't think I look in the right places online to find interesting discourse. Can anyone recommend any good websites or publications that I could start looking at to see more interesting material that I'm missing out on? Thank you!

The only things that I know about Kylie Jenner is that 1) she's a "self made" billionaire, 2) she publicly called out her sister Kim for publicly bullying & abusing Kylie's best friend Jordyn when Kim was 38 years old, and f-ing near middle age while Kylie & Jordyn were barely 21 years old, and 3) she seems much more mature than the older ones

I'm Gen X and I always thought feminism was about choice and the freedom to make them. The work was done to have freedom from discrimination, being held back, be a housewife or a CEO, or both. While the intersection of race and feminism is a whole other discussion, it was simpler when the idea was to "step back and watch her go".

[@aishah5244]

Finally, someone mentioned Nastygal!

[@curiousboy88]

That launch a billion lip kits. 😅😂😂🤣

[@loveinseattle]

Omg, I've been waiting for this!!

[@ELAinTaipei]

Same! I was just searching for it earlier today, in fact, because I thought I had missed it somehow. 😂

[@berryblulight]

It s funny to see how people can t even start to conceive that there is a concept that s called learning from the inside out....not many understand that yet...It means that instead of looking at others and comparing yourself to others ...A woman who will become sucessful and happy is one who decides for herself what is good for her, what she wants in life and how she wants to look at any given moment. The K..live their life and created their life with what they had. Comparing yourself to them is a lost cause that will bring only frustration...Teaching young girls to think for themselves and not succumb to all the social pressure that is put upon them ...and to just become themselves in every way ...that is such a concept that social media is not yet able to project

[@samanthamalmberg7339]

i agree with most of her points and that framing this family as one that exemplifies feminism is not beneficial for the movement. however, it is equally problematic to focus on one female capitalistic empire without videos also focusing on male ruled empires as well. the kardashian family gets more flack than any other wealthy male dominated spaces from female social media creators. that in itself is a sad reality for women entrepreneurs

[@mrod87]

Ur hair was doing it’s thing this video. Pretty!

[@lorrygoth]

I had no idea they were so impactful or prominent.

[@ashleyjolicoeur]

Something else to note (commenting one year later lol) is the Kardashians influence on fast fashion I.e. fashion nova, boohoo, pretty little things etc making direct copies of Kim’s outfits creating an opportunity to cosplay as a Kardashian

[@ashleycollins3303]

🤣 Had to replay that Girl Boss song 2:38

[@judydoll11]

That hair! 😍

[@giaparmer]

Also I just want to clarify that I don’t think anybody sympathized with Scott doing that to that waiter, I know he got IMMENSE backlash from viewers. It was probably one of his worst scandals because I think that was the same episode that he broke the mirror in the hotel room too

[@walkingeverywhere4k831]

Video Request: Could you make a video about "bhad Babie" Danielle Bregoli (The "Catch me outside"-girl) who recently earned 52!Million with her Onlyfanss-account as soon as she turned 18? And what impact this might have on young girls

[@oldmama8929]

Didn't she live at home when the make up business start? If Kylie was truly cut off at age 15, shouldn't her parents have gone to jail for negligence? Aren't parents who have children living with them legally obligated to support their children until age 16 or 18? Wacka-doddle!
