Like she does whenever she posts a nude selfie, Kim Kardashian West has inspired yet another debate about sexuality, women's empowerment and stuff.

March is Women's History Month, a thirty one day period in which society is encouraged to acknowledge the contributions of women, as opposed to the other eleven months that are mostly focused on men.

Kim Kardashian is marking/cashing in on the occasion with special Women's Empowerment-themed Kim Kardashian-themed emojis.

I love the message behind the new Kimoji’s. I’m obsessed with seeing women encourage, support and empower other women. It’s my favorite. We need more of it. #KIMOJI pic.twitter.com/S8k4SBKUjl

Other people think it's weird to see this girl power stuff coming from a Kardashian.

Women’s Empowerment emojis is a slap to every women who has stood to fight for our rights. I'm sure #AnnFrank #MalalaYousafzai #rosaparks fought for us all so u can use girl power to sell this...All Class pic.twitter.com/eJsJ4dV8PZ

I’m all for women’s choice for their bodies- but my personal feminist fight is to *NOT* be looked at as only tits&ass all the time. Society knows women have body parts. What is needed is the world to recognize our minds. THAT is what is lacking.#feminism #Kimoji #missedthepoint https://t.co/V9wfzjYUuT

Some see it as an extension of popular feminism today, which is often about selling T-shirts and making money off the message.

Y’all, #kimoji ain’t “woke” as you think

Kimmy K is just promoting a corporate sponsored form of pop feminism drivel

So Kim Kardashian only became a feminist once she could market it with #KIMOJI pic.twitter.com/HFXnNZqrOv

People are noting that Kim hasn't previously identified as a feminist, and are wondering what changed. Is it the money? (It's probably the money.)

I love Kim but a few years ago she decided not to identify as a feminist because she was scared of the back lash she would receive and now she has a feminist kimoji pack so I'm curious as to what changed?? @KimKardashian #Kimoji #feministkimoji

@KimKardashian doesn’t want to be “labeled” as a feminist but emojis.. sorry, ‘kimojis’ are fine? Whatever could the difference be?! $$$$$ pic.twitter.com/XL38KSjY62

Or perhaps the high stakes of the Trump administration has taught Kim that she could no longer afford to stay silent when women are consistently degraded are their rights are being threatened?

But yeah, it's probably the money.
