I saw Luvvie's post and I completely agree with her.

It's the worst. I can't believe she's making me side with some right wing kook site. Seriously.

She sent them a cease and desist and asked for a retraction apparently.

I agree. They really should have made separate post for this Dunham story, especially since the boom of this story has now pushed Dunham to cancel the next few dates on her European book tour.

See...here's the thing. And I might get slammed here for saying it bu there goes: if this were a man saying this all hell would be breaking loose. I haven't read (nor do I intend to) her book to make my own conclusions about the nature of her intent. The looking at her sister's vagina is definitely normal kid…

And she's apparently suing them too. I even went back and reread the piece to see if they said anything untoward. They literally quote large chunks of the book verbatim. They didn't misrepresent her. She wrote that shit, likened herself to a sexual predator, and is mad that they're.... calling her a sexual predator?…

except that lena seems to be the one controlling the narrative here.

Jezebel's response is blowing my mind. How does this site, one that often skewers the perpetrators of sexual assault, not even flinch when learning the details of this story?

FTR, I don't like Lena Dunham and I have no idea why she would put that in her memoir and not expect criticism.

And children that young have been charged with sexual assault. The issue isn't even really that it happened. The issue is that it is apparently a pattern with her. Jesus, one of the quotes from that passage is "M…

I didn't bribe my sibling with candy to kiss me for 5 seconds. I didn't masturbate as a teenager while in the same bed as my sibling. I didn't get pleasure from delivering painful news to my sibling or have an insatiable need to have my sibling want to be with me.

Just snap your fingers and * it's gone *.

I feel like including the fact that the Dunham story is from a right wing new source is to discredit it but like, they directly quoted the book. The things she did are fucked up and she tries to write it off as curiosity. Idk about you but I never pried open my siblings vaginas and gave them candy to kiss me on the…

Shhhhh don't bring this up. Lena is perfect n shit.

I'm not surprised it's happening but it's still sickening.

So someone who describes their actions as being similar to a sexual predator in a memoir she wrote herself shouldn't be taken to task? Or does that only happen when a liberal-leaning site points it out?

Except it wasn't just the looking into her vagina thing. She details very disturbing instances of her masturbating in bed next to her, bribing her with candy so she could make out with her, using tragedies to manipulate her into loving her, and literally compares her actions to a sex offender. How on earth is any…

All the Lena Dunham discussions being buried in the grays underneath scores of comments lambasting Chris Brown pretty much sums up white feminism, doesn't it?

I feel like Jezebel has really punted on this Lena Dunham story.

So we're not gonna take this whole Lena Dunham essentially molested her sister thing more seriously on Jezebel?.... It's just gonna be hidden under a Chris Brown article?.... Mmmkay.
