Why are we acting like this is only about her touching her 1 year old sister's vagina when she was 7 and not also about emotionally coercing her sister into sleeping in her bed and then masturbating while she sleeps? And about paying her sister in candy to give her long kisses on the lips? And about paying her sister…

You left out the part where she talks about masturbating while her sister was in the bed with her. I've not been one to say OMG SEXUAL ABUSE but clearly boundaries and tack were lacking in the Dunham household. And it's just weird for people to be like "Oh she's just quirky." If she wasn't famous and just that woman…

I think my biggest issue with this whole fiasco is not the acts Lena describes, but that she so cavalierly mentions that she did what a sexual predator would do (as I realize you discuss in this article). I realize that this is her brand of humor and maybe I just don't get her humor, but it is an out-of-touch,…

I'm pretty sure she's being scolded for the right reasons: i.e. being an oversharing, solipsistic, privileged twit who thinks every damn thought that crosses her brain is a Precious Pearl That Needs to Be Expressed to the World.

Several things.

I'm trying to decide if I'd rather be a "Muppet face ass" or "trout mouth ass bitch" and I think I'd rather be a Muppet face ass, but there's room for debate.

I hate to white knight Madge, but, having been through a similar situation, sometimes you just have to stop trying to fix someone's life. That doesn't mean you stop caring.

Chris brown is the mother fuck'n worst muppet whore ever!

Give it a rest, Kanye.

FWIW:

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.

Yeah... the "right wing" are not the only ones concerned and disturbed that disrespecting her sister's boundaries is an admitted pattern of behaviour with Lena Dunham. They aren't claiming anything. They quoted her verbatim, and this isn't the first time she's said fucked up shit about Grace.

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…

If you look like her, no.

I think if he would stop being sexist, homophobic, racist asshole every few months then people would be quicker to move on but he keeps showing his ass so nobody believes he's a changed man.

And the thing that bugs me is it seems totally based on whether the person being spoken of is considered "cool" or is a hipster feminist favorite or not.

"You act bougie/you get stuck up," she snarls. "I'm bout a dollar/you'll get bucked up."

Yeah, this definitely glosses over the whole "she tried to murder someone" bit as though that's something that happened independent of her work as an artist. It gets a brief mention as an "ugly incident" and is forgotten.

I probably shouldn't have brought up the gender aspect because that wasn't the central point for me and I'm loathe to make anything that even hints at being an MRA argument.

Also, "Don't be scared of anything I say, Be scared of me if I expose my vagina" doesn't exactly scan as a well thought out feminist message.
