Great. And all those years of making excuses as to why my hamsters and gerbils didn't work—why I was always the one putting money in their college funds—and it turns out they could have been working the whole time. Earning money for themselves! Pulling themselves up by their own tiny bootstraps!

Not with THAT attitude

Word, I feel your angst. They showed us some night-vision raids where you could not see the targets that well but stressed that they always examined the people's height/gait to make sure they were men (not women or children). I was like "Uhhh so tall children or women with manly strides are... out of luck? And we're…

Also I just asked my husband if he ever sees people banging when he flies drones. "Never. 99% of the time it's people driving, sleeping and peeing outside, the other 1% is military stuff. No sex."

Ugh. Just lie to me or something. I can't jerk off to people driving.

I went to one of the drone HQ Air Force bases last year and they showed us some video clips of what drone pilots watch on an average day. "Bombs Over Baghdad" was playing for maximum HOORAH effect. To demonstrate the amazing accuracy and clarity of what they filmed over Afghanistan/Iraq, they asked us to point at…

omg im so embarrassed

How about you acknowledge that you made a mistake instead of being flippant towards commentators who are right?

The journalistic integrity of an author has been called into question, and true to Jezebel ethics and practices, she fires back with middle school sarcasm.

Frankly you should be. In ignoring the actual content of the controversy you fail to add anything of value to the conversation. You'd have been better off simply ignoring the topic all together, but now that you've waded in it's pretty sad to see you do so disingenuously.

Everyone has different opinions. Being flippant about sexual abuse and leaving out giant chunks of relevant information IS embarrassing. Your snarky response is gross.

Jia, I totally agree, and I'm even going to let "talented person" slide by without anything more than minor side-eye, because I fully admit that's me being a bitch. Lena has been flooded with "OMG HOW DARE THIS LUMPY CHICK GET NAKED" for so long that it overshadows legitimate criticism. And lord, there is a lot to…

A home run? This article completely ignores multiple other examples of Dunham's disturbing behavior with her sister. Was it done on purpose or out of the author's total ignorance of the actual details of the story?

Holy shit. I thought it was only the pebble story. That is some very bizarre behavior and maybe a developmental psychologist could convince me it still within the range of normal but to not include it in a defense of Dunham is totally irresponsible.

THANK YOU. One more thing: Lena also relishes in delivering her sister bad news (like their grandfather dying) because it would mean that her sister would give her attention. That is some next level shit.

That and the fact that this behavior has continued. I don't necessarily think the sexual abuse accusations are correct, but there is a sustained sense of entitlement over her sister's life and body that is abusive and that's fucked up and not calling her out on that is fucked up. It's not necessarily what she did,…

They want to defend Lena and the only way to do so is to omit.

Pretty much. Funny how there is no mention of Lena dressing up her 5 year old sister as a Hells Angel sex toy as she posted on instragram or of 17 year old Lena masterbating herself while her sister slept nearby or of Lena grooming her sister by bribing her with candy or even of Lena outing her sister and removing her…

Why are we acting like this is only about her touching her 1 year old sister's vagina when she was 7 and not also about emotionally coercing her sister into sleeping in her bed and then masturbating while she sleeps? And about paying her sister in candy to give her long kisses on the lips? And about paying her sister…

I'm pretty sure she's being scolded for the right reasons: i.e. being an oversharing, solipsistic, privileged twit who thinks every damn thought that crosses her brain is a Precious Pearl That Needs to Be Expressed to the World.
