16. Kim Kardashian’s Epic Nude Selfie Response: Hey, remember that time Kim broke the Internet with another nude selfie? And then remember all the drama that ensued? Kim has taken to her website for International Women’s Day to not only explain why she did it, but also unapologetically share her opinion on the debate. She writes, “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.”
