That commentator ‘Siege Mentality...’ just casually AllLivesMatter-ed Zinzi’s statement. Remarkable.

Why? Why do you still need her to specifically speak out to you? Why is there always a caveat when Black feminists or feminist of color do something because you weren’t included. Welcome to it.

A lot of those women saw themselves in lena and can’t grasp that they might be racist as fuck as well.

Raising my hand as one who is severing ties. I used to say “Lena Dunham isn’t helping.” Now I say “Lena Dunham is actively hurting feminist and progressive issues.”

Counterpoint: Every time Lena Dunham fucks up feminism ALL feminists pay a price. She opens us up to mockery, scorn, and younger women that have been indoctrinated to believe a feminist is some sort of bra burning heathen communist are less likely to stop and listen.

I think it was GELLA yesterday who posted the wall of apologies Lena Dunham has had to make over the years and that plus the above account of the friend who’d use the n word “as a joke”, it gives a very clear picture of the bubble she lives in. People like that are priviledged personified. It’s very easy for me to…

Yes, the amount of slack that both the writers and commenters here gave her was really sad.

I appreciate this young woman taking a stance and possibly losing a paycheck in the process.

Good. I wish EVERYONE who claims to be feminist or progressive would sever ties. I’ll never forget the Jia Tolentino piece on Jezebel which in my very humble opinion did not go far enough at all, and the scores of commenters who were willing to give Lena pass after motherfucking pass despite example after…

I remember a while back I took Dunham to task on a Jezebel article for, after finally caving and having an actual black character on her show, he was a sexual interest for her character who was made a fucking REPUBLICAN so her character could look down on him and lecture him. I was soundly berated by the followers…

Jesus, I think you are right.

Right, because the picture is the only element of this story. It’s not like she accused him of harassing her into practicing a kiss, forcing his tongue in her mouth, then treating her like shit after she told him off.

I’m already sick of the apologists claiming “It was a JOKE! He was on SNL!” like that makes it ok.

THANK YOU.

God. Damnit.

It saddened me to see so many people commenting in the other story that they don’t believe Takei’s accuser, even when they believe accusers in other cases.

Fuck, just believe victims when they speak out

Remember when David Bowie died and everyone acted like he was a hero? He raped children.

I would like to think this is not true, except for this:

Remember when we hated 2016 for killing all the famous people we loved? Good times, man.
