By now, we’re all more than aware of Kim Kardashian’s penchant for ‘breaking the internet.’
Having roped in Emily Ratajkowski for a topless selfie on Wednesday, the image made waves across social media when both women shared it from their Twitter accounts.
When we're like…we both have nothing to wear LOL @emrata pic.twitter.com/j52pX8ihOz

While Kardashian opted for a more humorous message to accompany the image, Ratajkowski used it as an opportunity to discuss women’s rights to choose how and when they express their sexuality.
However sexual our bodies may be, we need to hve the freedom as women to choose whn & how we express our sexuality. pic.twitter.com/1KK0MtXRuv

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.

Unsurprisingly, it wasn’t long before Piers Morgan aired his views on the image.
Morgan also shared the image along with a picture of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst and accompanied by the caption ‘RIP Feminism’.
RIP feminism. pic.twitter.com/dqxKla2i5Q

To many, the idea that a couple of women doing what they want with their bodies and seemingly not caring too much about what other people think about it hardly represented the end of feminism.

@piersmorgan I profoundly disagree, I wouldn't do it, but feminism is the right to do it.

RIP Piers Morgan logic. Because part of feminism, is about having the autonomy over your own body. https://t.co/jwFkm1ZQuW
