Not to sound pretentious bc I truly only learned like…two years ago but the met gala does not work the way a lot of us think it does

is this for real. someone explain.

it’s a white tie charity gala. It’s not meant to be a costume party and the “theme” refers to the actual like them of the gala as in the clothing s not the people who attend. That’s why people show up in a black dress or something simple cuz…it’s a charity thing, not a couture show. Also Anna Wintour oversees everything, everyone that’s invited and who is wearing what designer. 

i already knew it was a charity event (bc that’s what a gala is for…) bc i work in the museums field and everyone hears about the met gala & i STILL think it’s weak to not dress to match a costume exhibition theme because that is the WHOLEEEE point. it is literally a gala for the Costume Institute. 

also like yeah it’s a charity thing but it’s a spectacle which is why Anna Wintour has so much control

ALSO LET’S CLARIFY:

Yes, the Met Gala is USUALLY white or black tie, HOWEVER dressing according to the theme is 100% expected:

What is the dress code?
Guests attending the annual event must dress to the theme: think pieces inspired by Catholic imagery. Usually there is a separate dress code attached, be it black or white tie, but that is yet to be announced. 

the theme is in ADDITION to the dress code and you’re supposed to do BOTH (lots of men failed to dress appropriately for a White Tie event too). 

and it’s a by invitation event - then people are invited are matched to various designers. once designers and attendees are matched, then the coordination of entire TABLES of outfits (i.e. who is sitting together at the gala) begins. first they invite special guests who attend for free (if Anna Wintour likes you) and then they sell tickets to select people. 

while vogue tries to be all “it’s not costume-y wah wah” the truth is, this is for a COSTUME institute, and high fashion is absolutely appropriate, and so is dressing on theme. 

eta: the reason this charity event exists is because The Met Costume Institute is responsible for financing itself as a curatorial department, the museum doesn’t finance that curatorial department. 

it’s encouraged not required chill out

Okay but when will girls be praised for cleaning the whole house and cooking for the whole family and being organized and taking care of younger siblings/children the same way families praise their boys when they wash their own fucking dishes.

every single negative stereotype about women was dreamt up by men who were projecting. fight me about it.

“women can’t drive”

It is so well known that women are better and safer drivers than men that OUR CAR INSURANCE RATES ARE LOWER. Women get into fewer accidents, get fewer DUIs, and receive fewer speeding tickets than men.

“women never shut up”

Several scientific studies have shown that not only do men talk more than women, they also think that women have been talking for much longer than they actually have. Men interrupt and talk over women, dominate conversations, and still think women talk too much.

“women are shallow”

Lol next

“my wife is my ball and chain lmao”

Multiple studies have shown that marriage between men and women:
Increases male lifespan, decreases female lifespan
Decreases male depression rates, increases female depression rates
Decreases male stress levels, increases female stress levels
Increases male health and happiness, decreases female health and happiness
Increases a man’s chance of getting a raise or promotion, decreases a woman’s chances of getting a raise or promotion

“women are too emotional”

Men love to say this about women after hurting them, in order to shift the blame and dismiss their feelings in one go. In reality, women are taught to hold our tongues and control ourselves quite literally from birth. We’re taught to put men’s needs and wants ahead of our own emotions regardless of the personal cost. Men are taught to do more or less whatever the fuck they want to women. Men take their emotions out on women while women are expected to shove theirs down.

I could go on and on but I don’t really think I need to.

• “women can’t drive” (The Guardian) (CBS News) (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety)
  
• “women talk to much” (PBS, resources included)
  
• “women are shallow” (just read the book, Dataclysm. by okcupid founder (?) that includes data about sex, gender, race, in finding online romantic partners)
  
• “ball and chain” (University of London)

for all you pissbabies crying about sources

Educate your misogynist selves 💁🏻

Wow. Very enlightening. But men are better navigators than women according to science. 

Then go on a hike

Yes hello 911 I would like to report that tumblr user extolian is dead, he was straight up murdered

to remember how many feet there are in a mile, u just gotta use 5 tomatoes

five to-mate-oes sounds like five, two, eight, 0 and there’s 5280 feet in a mile

To remember how many meters there are in a kilometre you just remember “1000” because the system of measurement in the rest of the world wasn’t invented by a drunk mathematician rolling dice.
