Kim Kardashian posted several nude photos on social media this week, and then defended her decision by saying she’d had enough of the “body-shaming and slut-shaming,” Pink has since spoke out encouraging young girls to express themselves in a better way.

“Shout out to all of the women, across the world, using their brains, their strength, their work ethic, their talent, their ‘magic’ that they were born with, that only they possess,” she wrote on Twitter.

“It may not ever bring you as much ‘attention’ or bank notes as using your body, your sex, your tits and asses, but women like you don’t need that kind of ‘attention.’”

“In the quiet moments, you will feel something deeper than the fleeting excitement resulting from attention, you will feel something called pride and self respect,” she continued.

“Keep on resisting the urge to cave. You’ll never have to make silly excuses for yourself.”

After many fans bombarded her with images captioned along the lines of – “Do as I say, not as I do, hey Pink!?”

She followed up her post with: “Last one for the evening: you are all entitled to your opinions and feelings and I am open to hear all of it. But it won’t change my mind.”

Her recent posts on Twitter have included a flood of memes from inspiring women. I think all the backlash may have fired her up a bit.  Either that or she was all over International Women’s Day – which is most likely the real answer.

I think she makes a great point though. Self respect is something very important we need to teach young girls from an early age. I don’t think nude selfies, no matter how they are meant to be portrayed, help women fight for equality at all! Each to their own.

  • I agree with her – and I also note that context matters; a performance is different to just taking a naked selfie for attention.

  • I think she has a point and also those photo’s of her are old aren’t they? She’s matured a lot since then

  • As the mother of a young son, I want to instill in him the importance of having something that is just for that special someone in your life. The pressure that appears to be on young girls today to bare all to be cool, and to be ’empowered’ makes me so glad I do not have a daughter.

  • I do agree, self respect is so important and it is great to teach young girls from an early age.

    • Self respect is essential for every girl and every woman.

  • In the first photo nothing is left to the imagination. In the privacy of the bedroom is the place for that, not in a public place and certainly up on stage.
    I hope it was at a R rated show.

  • Totally agree. We don’t need to encourage young girls to take nude pictures of themselves

  • I agree that setting a good example for young girls is very important and I don’t think taking nude shots does this but seriously pink needs to stop throwing rocks from glasshouse.
