Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner gave a joint interview with little sister Kylie in the Sunday Times. I talked yesterday about the excerpts involving Kylie and Kendall’s fear of growing older (“old” meaning 20+). There were also some tidbits about how Kendall’s grown disillusioned with social media and wanted to throw her phone into the wall.

Thanks to Gawker, some new excerpts surfaced. In an interesting move, Kendall completely shut down the journo’s questions about body image. This was a wise tactic considering the Kardashians’ plastic surgery addiction. Kendall couldn’t say much without dragging her sisters, intentionally or not. Kendall also discusses exactly why she doesn’t like the internet anymore. It doesn’t have to do with bullying. Kendall wants to experience life without being glued to a phone (like Kylie). Kendall’s description of events is very surreal, and there’s some stuff about feminism too:

Why she had her internet epiphany: “We had a two-hour drive from the airport to where we were staying, and I’d left my phone in my bag, so I didn’t touch it the whole way. I looked out the window at everything, and I saw people who live in huts and have dogs that were, like, withering away. And all their food, meat, was hanging in front of their house. It was very sad. Then we pulled up to this amazing house we were staying at, and I looked over and Kylie was on her phone the whole time and didn’t see one thing that I saw.”

Is she a feminist? “I don’t know much about it, so I can’t really speak on it. I get what you’re saying, but I’m not gonna say much because I’d like to be more educated.”

Should we give Kendall any credit for straight-up admitting she doesn’t understand
feminism? She wants to be more educated, which is difficult in the Kardashian family (where looks, not books mean everything). That’s a huge step. Kendall’s not rejecting feminism because she misinterpreted the meaning (like Evangeline Lilly, Kaley Cuoco, Mel B, or Shailene Woodley). Kendall knows she doesn’t get it, and she doesn’t want to make dumb statements. I’ll give her some points for that awareness.
