Piers Morgan scoffed at Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski after the two shared a topless selfie online. "Classy ladies. Real classy," he sarcastically tweeted before boldly adding, "RIP feminism." He went on, "If women genuinely think this photo advocates women's rights & equality, then feminism as it was intended is dead."

In response to Emily's statement that women should be free to express their sexuality, Morgan wrote, "Yes, luv. But giving the bird to millions of strangers as you stand topless & gormless probably isn't the best way." He added, "Oh Emily, enough of this nonsensical pseudo-feminist gibberish. If not for me, then for Emmeline."

"I see my 'RIP feminism' tweet is garnering a lot of attention. Many women asking what I'd feel if a man did this," he wrote in a couple of other posts. "Well, if Tom Hiddleston began tweeting endless photos of himself topless & flicking the bird, would everyone find it 'empowering' or tragic?"

"Kim/Emily aren't posting these photos to 'empower' women in the cause of feminism. They're doing it to make money. I love women & 100|percent| support gender equality. But pretending that topless bird-flicking selfies promote feminism is ridiculous. "

"I don't dispute their right to get their kit off & flick the bird to millions of strangers. It's just tacky," he continued his rant. "I like @KimKardashian but she'd be so much more empowering to women now by proving she can succeed with her clothes on & middle finger down. I'm not offended by Kim & Emily getting their t*ts out. I'm offended by them saying it's in the name of feminism."
