Kim kardashian: what is wrong with her, what kind of exaggerated performance she does, ideal female body, curves, race plays a huge part, exaggerated femininity, capital, she sells it. Unrealistic ideal for any female, girls, non-realistic men looking at women without surgery. A man s sense of masculinity to develop in order to match kim kardashian femininity. Independent women, created an huge industry for herself. Kind of gender relations and regimes that she capitalize on. Thinking politically is textual, mental activity but entertainment is visual. Digital porn characterized by hard to regulate, accessible 24/7, anonymous, it can be interactive, it can be one human or character. Women prefer online sex work rather than on the street, police harassing them. Every sec 3000 on pornography, every 39 minute new porn video is created.
