I think that a lot of people are a lower level of racist (not actively identifying as racist, but with some distinct prejudice existing) and just don’t realize it, probably haven’t actually had to seriously examine their core beliefs.
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…
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 see this after I just wrote a wall of text regarding Lena Dunham and Jezebel in the Dirt Bag thread.
I mean..he was 35 and dating a 17 year old Kimora...
Yes and the worst part about it is that she said this to a woman who was 15 when she was assaulted.
“I’ve known him for five years —a veritable lifetime—and not once did he rape me as a 17 year old, so nothing to see here. BRB, there’s a handsome black man not paying attention to me and I’ve gotta make that shit public.”
The statement was so maddening my mind shut down. It’s like she read Kevin Spacey’s apology/coming out and was like “Kevin, hold my beer.”

Lord knows that when I look back on all the women I’ve loved, I primarily think about the men they worked for.
He fucked Bob Taft in a barn? kinky....
I STAY Shazam-ing this show. The music is so deliberate. In fact, everything about the show is done with tremendous care, and it shows.
It seems clear from her story that she wanted to avoid the kiss, and that he pushed her beyond what is normally expected and what she indicated she was comfortable with. I’m not an actor but I’m pretty sure tongue isn’t standard in onstage kisses. Also, it’s pretty common for dudes to write hot women into their scenes…
The music for both seasons is perfect. I’m gonna shout out the two women behind the music if you don’t mind.
