Kim Kardashian has defended herself after admitting she doesn't think of herself as a feminist.
During the recent BlogHer conference in Los Angeles, Kim, 35, made the admission, which caused more than a few raised eyebrows.
Explaining her thoughts behind the statement the Keeping Up With The Kardashians wrote a lengthy post on her official blog.
Titling the it "Why I Don't Label Myself a Feminist," Kim wrote: "For me, feminist is someone who advocates for the civil and social rights and liberties of all people, regardless of their gender; anyone who believes that women should have the same choices and opportunities as men when it comes to education and employment, their bodies and their lifestyles. Of course I want these things! I'm all about empowering and uplifting women.
"I'll always fight for women's rights. Always. I support women to the fullest. But, at the end of the day, no one should feel pressured to be labelled as anything just because they believe in certain things and support certain values or ideals."
Kim insisted she has feminist principles but she doesn't want to be "defined" by her beliefs.
