SAN FRANCISCO — Listening to Kim Kardashian talk at the country’s oldest public affairs forum might sound absurd, but with the reality star’s infamous sex tape, you could say she put the public back in public affairs.
Kardashian discussed everything from feminism to guns and her buns Tuesday night in San Francisco. More than 1,300 fans, mainly decked-out young ladies, squeezed into the historic Castro Theatre for an hourlong Q-and-A organized by the prestigious Commonwealth Club of California.
“I guess people would call me a feminist, but I don’t like to put marks on things and shout and say ‘free the nipple’ and stuff,” said the woman who left nothing to the imagination on the cover of Paper magazine last year. She told retired state Judge LaDoris Cordell, who led the friendly interview that “I do what makes me feel comfortable.”
Being an A-list celebrity isn’t all fun and games, Kardashian said. There’s the pestering paparazzi and the endless meetings about her clothing lines and fragrances. Even the 34-year-ancient’s world-well-known assets have caused years of anxiety.
“For me to always say that I was confident and secure just isn’t the case,” said Kardashian, who endured butt jokes at an all-girls Catholic high school in Los Angeles. “I’m insecure sometimes to walk out of the household without my Spanx on”

There’s strain in her accurate knit family these days too. Kardashian revealed that she and her relatives have attended group therapy sessions since her stepdad appeared on the cover of Vanity Honest as trans woman Caitlyn Jenner.
“As a family we just literally prayed that we hope people can know it. There’s certain things that I don’t fully know,” Kardashian said. “Every family member will have a different opinion and reaction and that’s ok. Our like has never changed.”
V.I.P tickets fetched $ 300 to walk away with an autographed copy of Kardashian’s new book “Selfie” and a photo with the woman nicknamed “the First Lady of #fame” by Martha Stewart.
Kardashian had one kind word the real First Lady, which is more than her husband Kanye West who recently criticized Michelle Obama’s style. When questioned to clarify FLOTUS, Kardashian said she was “empowering.”
The chat dove deeper into politics, with Kardashian saying she hopes Hillary Clinton wins the 2016 presidential race.
Questioned for an thought to exchange world, Kardashian fired back that she’s in act of kindness of tighter gun regulations.
“I’m not the type to have them in my household,” she said. “I’m not really a gun person. I truly, honestly do believe we do not have strict enough gun-control laws.”
