Kim Kardashian And Emily Ratajkowski Team Up To Make A Powerful Selfie Statement

Kim Kardashian's nude selfie from a few weeks ago has caused a lot of controversy. She herself maintains that taking ownership of her body and her sexuality empowers her, and said as much in a brilliant statement she released after some of the awful backlash she received. "I am empowered by my body. I am empowered by my sexuality. I am empowered by feeling comfortable in my skin. I am empowered by showing the world my flaws and not being afraid of what anyone is going to say about me. And I hope that through this platform I have been given, I can encourage the same empowerment for girls and women all over the world." Now Kim and supermodel Emily Ratajkowski have teamed up to take a topless selfie together, posting the same photograph on both of their Twitter accounts.

We are more than just our bodies, but that doesn't mean we have to be shamed for them or our sexuality. #liberated — Emily Ratajkowski (@emrata) March 30, 2016

Even if being sexualized by society's gaze is demeaning, there must be a space where women can still be sexual when they choose to be.

Their commentary on female sexuality and the female body is really worth paying attention to.
