In the wake of the scandal over her naked selfie last month, Kim Kardashian has gone to great lengths to convince us that she's a 'liberated' woman.
First, she shared a personal essay on the subject in which she condemned slut shaming. Now she's decided to post another selfie and has brought along a friend for solidarity - Emily Ratajkowski.
When we're like...we both have nothing to wear LOL @emrata pic.twitter.com/j52pX8ihOz

Emily also took to social media to reinforce the message.
We are more than just our bodies, but that doesn't mean we have to be shamed for them or our sexuality. #liberated

Even if being sexualized by society's gaze is demeaning, there must be a space where women can still be sexual when they choose to be.

Piers Morgan, who previously decided to act as a champion for those offended by Kardashian's original selfie, of course felt the need to chime in with his thoughts.

If women genuinely think this photo advocates women's rights & equality, then feminism as it was intended is dead. pic.twitter.com/8Anm7yPYfI

But, of course, as the old proverb goes, those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

This is unlikely to be the end of the saga.
So, do you think Kim and Emily are doing the world, or feminists, or someone a favour by posing like this? How about Piers?
