Hating the Kardashians is Sexist? 🤔
Summary
A straphanger offers a spicy take: hating the Kardashians might just be sexist. She argues that if the family were all guys just hanging out and working out, people would love the show instead of tearing them down. It's a sharp point. Kareem's clearly caught off guard by the logic. The rider says there's something empowering about how Kim and her sisters have built an empire, calling Kim "an entrepreneur" who's "just capitalizing on the ills of society."

So what's your take? The Kardashians aren't that bad for society. Not that bad for society? Yeah, just in general. 100% disagree. Why do we hate on them so much? Like, why are we so obsessed? And they're so annoying. I'm not going to deny that, but there's a level of empowerment in it. Like, they are kind of just—they just hang out. They're dudes hanging out. If it was a bunch of dudes hanging out, would we hate on them so much?

People would be like, "Yo, that's a great show, actually," right? I feel like just because they're women, people are like, "Yo, hate on them. Hate on..." She's like an entrepreneur, you know? She's just like capitalizing on the ills of society.
Which one's your favorite one? Kim, for sure.
