There’s a show on HBO called “Girls”. One of its stars is a person named Lena Dunham. Her secondary career involves appearing at award shows dressed in “fascinating” outfits that are panned by critics, making so-called “provocative statements” on behalf of organizations such as Planned Parenthood, and basking in the limelight of double-dating with President Obama. Her social life may have its glamour, but her outfits/”fashion expertise” is certainly suspect:
Guess what? It gets worse. Worse than her gushing over-the-top ad for President Obama’s second campaign, which was cringe-worthy?
Yes. This is a woman who fawns over Presidents, executes a painfully strange half-naked dance thing in failed support of the 2014 “Rock the Vote,” discusses more than we need to know about her sexual proclivities, and purports a sexually blithering book about herself and her family. In fact we discussed one aspect of her book here, in which she accuses some poor unnamed guy, a Republican!! of raping her. As many across the spectrum rightfully wondered, if Ms. Dunham was raped, why were there no charges pressed? Things that make you go HMMMM
The rape story was an excerpt leaked to the public before the book was published. Its pretty evident that the publishers and Lena herself wanted to drive sales. Well, as of yesterday afternoon, that might be backfiring horrendously. You see, as reported by people on all sides of the spectrum, Lena herself outlines in pretty graphic detail her fascination with her little sister’s anatomy on several occasions. I believe her sister is less than thrilled:
Dunham has an unfortunate history of making her sister’s actual life personal-experience fodder for her memoirs: Grace told the New York Times Magazine that “most of our fights have revolved around my feeling like Lena took her approach to her own personal life and made my personal life her property.”
After all that, this is the woman who wants everyone to give her a pass for her rape anecdote in the book. This is the woman who wants us all to give her a pass for writing a book via her twisted imagination while using her family as the vehicle, her horrendously stupid comments concerning Kate Middleton, or for even deciding that an ad promoting Planned Parenthood must involve her appearing topless. Guess what? A lot of folks gave her that pass. Time did, Huffpost did and LA Times presented it as a “learning curve.” You know what Lena? You don’t get an Pass. I don’t care if Salon wants to give you one. You do not get to pass go on this one nor on anything else you wrote in that “book.” And Lena? News Flash!! Folks from ALL sides of the spectrum believe what you’ve written is hideous.
Look, I’m trying to raise a daughter who will have high standards for herself and for those around her. I’m raising her to believe that a teenager can dress well, look beautiful, and garner well-meaning compliments without showing anything and everything. I’m raising her to believe that she can be an amazing young woman who doesn’t need to use vulgarity to express herself. I’m raising her to believe that there are boundaries you JUST DO NOT CROSS.
Lena, you crossed those boundaries in spades. In fact, its becoming evident that Lena crossed that with her sister on multiple occasions. Can any parent among our readers please explain to me how a ONE YEAR OLD is capable of doing what Lena says her sister did? To put is as nicely and as safe for work as possible; this Dunham person outlines how her 1 yr old sister ends up with pebbles in her vagina, and her OLDER sister, who was SEVEN at the time, passes it off in her book as a prank by her one year old sister. Are you EFFING kidding me???!!!
I don’t care that Lena has been in therapy since she was 9. I don’t care that she has a hit HBO show. I don’t care that she can’t seem to live on her own and figure out how to be by herself. I certainly don’t want to know about her sexual practices as I don’t believe they should be in the public view. And I can’t begin to care about why her parents gave way and let a child rule the roost. What I do care about is the fact that she seems to think, as does gushingtly sycophant Meghan Daum of the New York Times with her fatuously fawning story about Lena (and I don’t mean that in any positive way), that we are all going to just pat her on the head and say “there there, its all good. You’re ok and we LIKE YOU!” Fact of the matter is, we don’t. Fact of the matter is, you now resemble the train wreck that is Honey Boo Boo .
Lena? If you think that the title of this post resembled a popular State Farm ad, you are correct. However, the State Farm ad is funny. Lena, your book, and you just aren’t. Lena, you’ve made a name for yourself advocating soft-core porn, basically following in the footsteps of reality shows such as Honey Boo Boo and the money-grubbing, publicity-seeking Kardashians. Lena, if you read this blog and hope it gives you the kudos you think you deserve, you are doomed to well-deserved disappointment. What you have written for the sake of privilege, publicity, and dollars is BEYOND hideous, and Katie Pavlich of Townhall nails your hideousness quite succinctly:
No actually, you detailing the story with glee as an adult, in a book, is what's upsetting and disgusting @lenadunham

Lena Dunham is as physically repulsive as she is morally repugnant.
The perfect poster child for the Democratic Party.
^^^THIS
A month ago I’d never heard of Lena Dunham, and now I’m quite certain she’s a pathetic, disgusting loser. She’s made excellent use of her 15 minutes of fame.
Unfortunately her 15 minutes is continuing. What makes it worse is the fact that there are people and publications (Salon.com, Cosmo, etc) out there DEFENDING her hideousness. IMO, their doing so puts those defenders on the same disgusting plane as she is.
