That is a great question. Thank you for asking.

Zero percent surprised at any of this. These are to women who:
I heard something from Aimee Mann that I really liked, along the lines of “people are entitled to dislike you, and their reason why is none of your business.” Maybe a person is shallow and only talks to models; maybe you have an uncanny resemblance to someone who bullied him/her as a kid. As long as someone isn’t…
Oh look the queens of oblivious-white-girl racism-is-the-joke-get-it comedy said some oblivious shit.
But Lena Dunham is the victim here! Somehow. She has to the be the victim or her whole worldview will explode.
Right. She’s being completely an asshole on two levels. EVEN WORSE.
I would have gone with “misogynobject.”
Which is why I don’t do this for a living.
no she is referring to the “it” as herself which is why i wrote that she was deploying black men as “both object and misogynist,” although i’m mad now that i didn’t write “both object and objectifier,” as parallelism would have been better writing. fuck.
the entire staff has turned over almost twofold since then
I watched three episodes of Girls and couldn’t believe how much it lacked self unawareness. I kept waiting for the punch line— waiting for it to reveal itself as a parody of stereotypical Millenials, waiting for it to let me know it was in on the joke: Hannah is terrible! But I kept watching and came to the horrific…
Lest we remind you that it was JEZEBEL that couldn’t get enough of Dunham when her show first premiered. I and many others kept commenting that she was over-rated as fuck and no one at Jezebel would listen.
This. Coupled with the fact that the abuse she claims to have experienced is not about one incident on one day. It is about the entirety of their marriage. If it got to a point where a third party felt the need to call the LAPD, it is that action that is evidence of at least one heated physical dispute. On top of that…
People just go out of their way to discredit women who have been assaulted, abused, raped... Sure, all victims are in cahoots plotting in some musty basement! Plotting what exactly I don’t know though.
All of the receipts she had and it’s going to take one for a 7 million dollar donation to make some people believe she's not lying.
Good on Amber for choosing to do something positive with money that would always remind her of a dark time. I’d just like to point out that the media and the general public would rake her over the coals if she had chosen to keep the money - which would be well within her rights. I hope people will finally leave her…
Yep some assholes just have really good lives and some good people have bad luck. I think Amber is totally telling the truth and got screwed in all this. That Nate Parker stuff has me all kinds of sad, those transcripts... it was a bleak read indeed.
Sorry about your sister begin an asshole. Is there anyway you can disconnect from her? You can love your family and not like them and also refuse to deal with them.
All I can think about it this... Amber, Girlfriend, he’s not going to admit it. You’re not going to get the vindication you’re looking for. Sweetie, it’s time to cut your losses and move on. It’s not fair, it sucks, but that’s how life is sometimes. And Johnny, Honey, get some fucking help. Put on your big boy boxers,…
There’s actually a place in the law for videotaping if you think you might experience violence.
