        I mean, I’d make the same joke about hulk hogan if there had been a parks and recs blooper about it. Assuming it is about her explicitly being a woman is a bit of a stretch.

          I love how the Connect app has user notes, so I can appreciate the irony that I already marked DragonTypeWyvern as “Sexist” before.

            Incels have accused me of that before, so that tracks.

            Apparently pointing out their sexism is the real sexism.

            For further details refer to the other dork getting mad at this comment chain to see the kind of company you keep.

          You, yes. Me?

          Probably a little, everyone is a product of their environment. I don’t immediately claim women I don’t know can’t have earned their intellectual accomplishments and must have traded sexual favors for them though.

          Seems pretty stupid, tbh, especially when her dad was famously a lawyer himself and she can certainly afford tutors.

            You: “Leave Britney Kim alone, you don’t know her, you’re sexist.”

            Also you: “I don’t know you but will call you sexist because I didn’t get the joke.”

            Also, did you just assume my gender?

    A trial attorney? I could see it she wanted to be like a corporate attorney or real estate or something, where your character as a person isn’t relevant. How is she going to empanel a jury without potential jurors having preexisting feelings about her trustworthiness? “Yeah, she seems sincere, but remember that time on her reality show where she was faking tears for sympathy?”

    I don’t know her, or how competent she would be at trial, and anyone can be anything they want to be. But also, recognize that choices have consequences. Maybe trading dignity for fame and fortune means you don’t get to live any dream you like.

      I think her dad was a trial attorney. Maybe that has influenced her interest (and possibly there’s some hidden genetic talent there too).

        Yeah, defended some minor sportsman. It’s not like the family name only got famous through the blood of innocent victims or anything like that. The Kardashians were picked up by MTV back then only by pure happenstance.

          Wait, no - I was wrong. Not a trial attorney. Not even a licensed attorney at the time of the murder. He had to get his licenced renewed to be a volunteer assistant attorney on the OJ case. BUT did create MovieTunes, the business that brought you music between movies in the theater. Huh!

    Isn’t there an infamous video of her dad removing a briefcase (evidence) from OJ’s house in front of reporters? I’d be deeply suspicious of any lawyers from that lineage.

        Robert Kardashian was part of OJ’s defense. There was speculation that the bag contained evidence of the murders. When the bag was entered into evidence, its contents were not. Kim Kardashian claims she went through it at the time and it only contained toiletries.

          Because toiletries are naturally the kinds of things you find a briefcase, right?

    Her dad is Robert Kardashian, who helped defend OJ for murder. Her wanting to become a trial lawyer isnt that surprising.

        Yep, they divorced and then mom married into the Jenners. Kim et al. were born when Robert was the dad though, so no last name change for them. The kids that came about after would have been called Jenner.

      Not 0% which is a crazy thing to speculate. I say that because she was friendly with trump while a$ap was in jail.

    Trial law is incredibly difficult. Even if you’re not chasing billable hours, you have deadlines, procedures, sleeping at the office, doc review, managing people, being managed by partners or other attorneys, travel….the list goes on.

    Only a few people stay in it, either for he money or they chase the stress.

    I suspect she will be used to bring attention to a law firm. It’s not unusual to have attorneys that do little work but have connections.

    People in this thread are judging her hard. Any other glass ceilings you want to put over her? I bet it fuels her desire to do this. She’s going to end up being the ultimate role model of anyone can aspire to do anything regardless of their past. I for one welcome her efforts to grow up and contribute to society differently than she has in the past.

      I’m judging her the say way I’d judge Kanye or Taylor Swift or Ryan Reynolds or anyone else who says random shit to stay relevant. If she’s truly found her calling and wants to be a lawyer, then hell yeah, good for her, but it seems out of character for her. I’m not sure why your first thought was that it’s about her gender rather than her personality or past behavior.

        Not really.

        Lemmy is being a bunch of sexist hypocrites as usual, a small token of the real world reactions, that’s well within the definition.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_ceiling

            Denying her due credit based on her sex and appearance is a glass ceiling. It’s not just about achieving a position in the heirarchy alone, which you are correct she could just buy.

            Or to continue the metaphor, she can buy a stair lift to reach the ceiling but she’s still got more work to do before people admit she deserves the standard level of respect anyone else in her position would receive.

            As all the Lemmycells rushed over themselves to prove repeatedly in these comments.

              you are also misinterprating your own sources, thats just sexism you just describe on the first sentence, honestly you are making very disengenious comments, hence the big downvotes from everyone. plus your original comment is quite sexist as well, and then theres this calling lemmy sexist people? go back to reddit you incel, oh wait you got banned from it.
