Voices: Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala dress shows she’s a terrible role model to women

“Your waist is crazy!” shouted one of the photographers during the melee that accompanied Kim Kardashian’s appearance on the red carpet of this year’s Met Gala. I think that spoke for most us.

But should we be so surprised? Perhaps the sight of Kardashian, 43, barely able to walk up the stairs – let at the glittering A-list event is altogether expected, considering she is a billionaire whose brand is based around a distortion of ideal femininity, verging on the grotesque. She’s certainly pushed boundaries at previous events.
