I don't identify as a feminist - so why does this get on my nerves?

[SophieJenkins]

I was listening in the car to WH yesterday and they were doing their 'power list', first off discussing Kim Kardashian (have a vague idea who she is but not much) and then they started off the list and after about 1 or 2 interesting women, they announced Caitlyn Jenner.

I turned it off instantly as I couldn't listen. I don't know why but it just made me really angry.

I didn't want to start another thread about this as I realise from titles that people were getting sick of them, but cant get it out of my head and wondered if anyone could briefly help me figure out why it pissed me off SO much?

If we're not allowed to discuss this then I apologise and feel free to tell me. I haven't been reading any of the other threads about it which perhaps I should have done after all.

I think I feel like being female has been hijacked by someone and used to get publicity - when a lot of women are denied even the basic human rights that come with being a bloke.

And then to be put on a list of high achieving women for what? For wanting to be a woman?

I don't get it.

I looked up the underwear story. Apparently Kim was expecting a delivery of lingerie but it didn't show up. The maid showed her that it was in Bruce's wardrobe.

Slightly different to rifling her drawers and trying on used ones.

Yes you are right that is possibly more creepy oddfodd.

It's still crossing Kim's boundaries though noblegiraffe.

Slightly different to rifling her drawers and trying on used ones.

Odd that the first time he tried on her grots they were a fresh, clean, unworn delivery. What are the chances, eh?

It's very strange that condescending remark came from a Daily Mail columnist; don't the DM get about 200 column inches a month out of Kim K?!

It's so condescending and it would have been so easy to rewrite it in neutral terms.

"Initially... many of us felt Kim Kardashian merited consideration for inclusion given Ms Kardashian's influence on millions of women worldwide is undeniable."

Isn't it poor form generally to gossip about candidates for anything who fail to make the short list?

Yup. It's a really unprofessional reply, but as it's quoting Sarah Vine, I assume she's said the same publically!
