He searches his own name out and responds to people who aren't even tagging him on Twitter. If you say his name, he will appear. He is like the goddamn Candyman of Twitter.

You cockblocked your 92 year old dad? There's a special ring in hell for you. You disgust me.

maybe because your white and she was never a crossover pop star ? Not trying to be mean or anything...just saying. She was a pretty big deal in my world.

I can't believe how Hollywood has totally just LET GO of the R. Kelly shit. Lady Gaga did some kind of music / song collab with him not long ago. Doesn't she have a little sister?

Agreed. When I was very very young a girl who was 9 (I was 3) "played doctor" with me. It was a very upsetting and traumatic thing for me. It's troublesome to hear people defending that behavior.

Literally, Jezebel's first mention of this Dunham incident was buried in Dirtbag, in a headliner lambasting Chris Brown.

omg, you already know to be a prick to commenters who point out a huge discrepancy in your article. you're going to fit in well here.

You are a fucking gross abuse apologist.

You should be embarrassed for ignoring and minimalizing sibling-sexual abuse. It's a slap in the face to survivors of such abuse. Whether her sister is "fine" with it means nothing.

Another issue I have with Jia's post is the contradictions. Reading the title you would think that she was about to defend a sexual narrative but then she quotes a professor saying that what 7 year old Lena did to 1 year old Grace wasn't sexual. So which is it? This was poorly written and it doesn't help that she's…

I'm glad you spoke to a specialist, and I would suggest checking out some additional resources based in research around sexual behaviors in children. On age-appropriate sexual behavior (from www.stopitnow.org):

It's infuriating. I don't mind different opinions - I doubt there are any readers on this site that share my views on many political/social matters. You can disagree with people but the blatant dishonesty and arrogant attitudes of this author are disgusting.

This article ignores the actual content of the controversy, though. It literally adds nothing to the conversation.

Seriously. I grew up with a sister 1 year younger than me. As far back as I can literally remember we never did anything remotely as fucked up as this. Y'all motherfuckers need Jesus if you did.

And certainly by the time I was 10 and she was 9, we already "hated" each other because of our diverging personalities and…

Its gross as fuck. If she was a dude, we would have pitchforks out

"Dunham wasn't scolded; Dunham, whose parents were maybe compensating for the gendered form of policing they knew awaited her, was not taught very strictly how to "behave.""

I'm liberal, and I do not defend Lena Dunham. It's not just conservatives who are disgusted with her. But then again...I'm not white. I'm a feminist of color. Lena Dunham gets away with shit because she's white and rich.

Is anyone pointing out the passage where she discusses masturbating next to her sister in bed, as a seventeen year old? This article focuses largely on a child's behavior but it's clear that it continued well into her teen years.

This is a strongly biased and willfully ignorant: what about the passage where Lena (older than 7 by far — with best guesses around 13 years old . . . remember, there's an age gap between her and her *younger* sister) is bribing her sister for affection (kisses, "relaxing on her") and masturbating in bed next to her. …

ok, you addressed the passage about checking out her younger sister's vagina and I can get with you on your points about children exploring their bodies and whatnot. However, what about the parts about her doing "everything a pedophile would do" to get her sister to make out with her? Or masturbating in bed next to…
