RE: Lena Dunham Appreciation Thread (Dunham Master Thread)
Today I learned child abuse is a nice learning experience if it helps the child to become a homosexual.
Why did Dunham put it in her memoirs? Because artsy hipster types on the left love flawed people. It does not humanize someone in their eyes, it deifies them. They are drawn to sickness and deviancy, and this is Dunham's attempt at soliciting their favor, of making herself seem deep and complex. A healthy childhood would be so banal and bourgeois.

Who in their right mind writes about that in a book later in life ?
If this is what she included in the book, imagine what she left out.
"I can count on one hand, literally, the number of women I have ever met that can take that kind of advice, accept it and make use of it without their epic egos setting metaphorical fire to the conversation.
Most women "looking for advice" are in reality looking for someone to validate their cosmic victimhood, because it's not really their fault, because it's never their fault. This behavioural trait isn't absent among men, but when we fail society cares not, while when women fail there is no shortage of comforting platitudes on offer from every vector."

RE: Lena Dunham Appreciation Thread (Dunham Master Thread)
I expect the mainstream media to deliver hypocrisy by now. It goes with the territory of moronic female typists hunt and pecking with one hand whilst gazing in a mirror with the other, but you think that just one of them might have used the highly-applicable word 'incest'. Not one person has mentioned it yet.
Dunham, in the Guardian:
Quote:Lena Dunham is to adapt Karen Cushman’s 1994 children’s book Catherine, Called Birdy, for the big screen. Speaking at the New Yorker festival in New York, Dunham revealed that she was currently working on a screenplay of the novel, which is set in 1290 England.
The book lends a modern-day take to the growing pains of 12-year-old Catherine, who is told by her father that she’ll have to get married when she gets her first period.
“It’s hyper realistic and really pretty and it’s full of incest and beatings, but it’s a child’s story,” said Dunham. “I’ve been obsessed with it since I was a kid.
Cushman's novels are listed in 'The Encyclopedia Of Feminist Literature'. 'Catherine' is about a strong and independent teenage girl from a wealthy family living in 1290, who doesn't want to marry, doesn't want a traditionally-feminine career, and dreams of going into traditionally-masculine lines of work, whilst having violent fantasies of living a swashbuckling life, the latter being a (stupid) thread it shares with 'Gone home', so I guess it is some kind of lesbo thing.
Portrait of the author:
'Catherine' is one of the PC approved fiction texts for grades 7-10 set by the Educational Elite, aimed at poisoning girls into believing men are yucky and stupid, and that being strong and independent is the better choice, (and, hopefully, to grow so contemptuous of men and lonely for sexual contact that they have no choice but to eventually munch rug, like that Arlene Schindler chick who was whining about being invisible to men now she's over 50 . Hey, I had three different short-haired lesbian English teachers in High School and one genuine hippy: so, if the stereotype fits).
Garbage in, garbage out. Feed 'Catherine' into a girl, you get Dunham.

RE: Lena Dunham Appreciation Thread (Dunham Master Thread)
Quote:Williamson’s case here is that Dunham is essentially a rich brat, unwilling to take responsibility for her own actions, unable to live up to her own standards (he criticizes her own views on sex, relationships, and sexual roles as “utterly conventional”), and eager to cast aspersions on others while reacting to criticism of herself as illegitimate. And this stance as privileged victim touches something deep within the primordial id of all factions of the American Right, leading to the kind of sputtering disgust that unites the Savitri Devi devotee with the College Republican hack.
But Willamson understates the case, and doesn’t fully grapple with the depravity Dunham represents. As with all things political, it’s about who, not what. Though some leftists are uncomfortable with Dunham’s lack of melanin, she is still higher on the diversity ladder than gross conservatives. The mainstream media is practically celebrating her actions with her sister, as Dunham can now “teach” us about how we are the problem because we don’t talk enough about Brave New World-style childhood sexual activity. And of course, there’s a Tumblr for mini-Dunhams to proclaim how they too are special little snowflakes of perversion.
Feminists at Jezebel have rallied to Dunham’s cause because of the importance of people being able to describe their own “sexual narrative,” a term also deployed by Dunham’s sister. In the words of racecuck Ryan Chapin Mach at the Huffington Post, determining your own sexual narrative means that “power to determine what constitutes sexual abuse rests entirely with the accuser, not with the National Review or the Twittersphere. It's a doctrine that's meant to give agency to individual victims and not every dude on 4Chan with a keyboard and an opinion.”
Of course, this also redefines what “victim” actually means, turning it into something purely dependent on a left wing political agenda rather than anything objective or independent of the views of the people involved. In a phenomena familiar on college campuses, a drunken hook-up or female infidelity magically transforms into “rape” the morning after, whereas lesbian statutory rape can transmute into a heroic crusade for civil rights. And not all rape is equal–as far as lesbian statutory rape goes, as it says in The Vagina Monologues, “If it was rape, it was good rape.” The hamster wheel of female rationalization thus replaces the objective words written by “dudes” trying to apply a logical standard. Heterosexual and male sexuality is pathologized, while homosexuality and abortion are held to represent a greater good and some kind of revenge against conservatives, “dudes,” and whites.
[…]
Quote:And thus we get closer to the real reason conservatives of all stripes hate–yes hate–Lena Dunham. (Or, as leftists would say, find her “threatening.”) Everything about her existence is a representation of decadence in human form, wrapped in a cloak of victimhood. The current insistence that parading her childhood pervasions should be celebrated is only the latest example. Dunham is the crystallized essence of the leftist commentariat demanding we accept obvious untruths: that 2+2=5, that ugly must be called beautiful, and that writing out the equivalent of scrawling dirty words on a bathroom stall is cause for tribute and celebration.
As Theodore Dalrymple noted:
Quote:"When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to."
Lena Dunham isn’t fat–she’s sexy. Her views aren’t boring and asinine–she’s original and important. She’s not a mascot of the powerful–she’s a victim of the right wing. She’s not promoting abnormal and destructive behavior–she’s standing up against repressive weirdoes.
It’s like they’re daring us to call out the lie. Lena Dunham is the walking reductio ad absurdum of feminism, of liberalism, and of the managerial state—a terrifyingly prominent homunculus spawned by this monstrous cultural machine. And despite knowing it’s giving that machine power, despite knowing I have no control of it, despite not knowing her personally, and despite acknowledging the only thing I can do is avert my eyes, I can’t help but be triggered–and I know I’m not alone.

RE: Lena Dunham Appreciation Thread (Dunham Master Thread)
Looks like her "rape" never happened, neither does dude exist:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...laims.html
Quote:An investigation by John Nolte from Breitbart News undertaken at the Oberlin campus, which was published Thursday, concluded that the 'Barry' Dunham describes is a 'ghost', and that no such person appeared to exist at the college during the years she studied there.
'In fact, we could not find anyone who remembered any Oberlin Republican who matched Dunham's colorful description,' Nolte wrote.
'Under scrutiny, Dunham's rape story didn’t just fall apart, it evaporated into pixie dust and blew away.'
Williamson said he spoke to a Barry who was a prominent Republican that attended Oberlin and that has been hounded by the media since the release of Not That Kind Of Girl in September.
This Barry told Williamson he has never met Dunham and did not have any kind of relationship with her.
He said the fact his name is Barry and that he is a Republican who went to Oberlin is 'the 'most unfortunate coincidence of my life'.
The man, who is married with kids, said he is petrified that his full name is going to be published.
Williamson then wrote of Dunham: 'It is at the very least the deployment of weaponized celebrity without any concern for collateral damage.

RE: Lena Dunham Appreciation Thread (Dunham Master Thread)
LENA DUNHAM RAPE STORY COLLAPSES UNDER SCRUTINY
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2...r-scrutiny
Quote:After Kevin Williamson's National Review story published, in which Barry One is portrayed as a stressed and worried family man being hounded by the press and terrified his full name will be published, Dunham responded directly to Williamson's piece but said nothing about the innocence of the man she placed under this national microscope.
Rather than use this opportunity to clear his name (if Barry is a pseudonym this would have been an opportune time to say something), she instead condemned him through silence and made the "most unfortunate coincidence" of a man's life all about Lena Dunham:

That's because these stories force them to ask hard questions about their history with consent...

It's not unheard of for a 28-year-old woman like Lena Dunham to be this selfish and reckless. The real question is, how did this get through her publisher, Random House?
Meanwhile, Barry One has had to hide his Facebook page and retain an attorney.

RE: Lena Dunham Appreciation Thread (Dunham Master Thread)
Barry One is considering suing Dunham
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2...na-dunham/
Quote:BREAKING: TO CLEAR NAME 'BARRY ONE' LAUNCHES LEGAL FUND; CONSIDERS SUIT AGAINST LENA DUNHAM
by JOHN NOLTE 6 Dec 2014, 5:14 PM PDT
The man identified as "Barry One" in a Breitbart News investigation debunking Lena Dunham's story of being raped in college by a "mustachioed campus Republican" named Barry, has made his first official statement since the release of that report. Through his attorney, identified as Aaron Minc, Barry One has set up a legal fund to cover current legal expenses, clear his name, and to potentially file suit against Ms. Dunham.
The proceeds from the legal fund will be used only to cover Barry One's legal expenses. If there are any leftover monies, those will be donated to non-profit organizations that aid sexual assault victims.
For more than two months, and to no avail, Barry One has asked Dunham (through her representatives) to clear his name. Obviously, she has refused.
"All proceeds will be spent by Barry on legal costs and related fees associated with defending Barry's reputation," the statement reads, "including, but not limited to, potentially pursuing Lena Dunham and Penguin Random House for harm caused to Barry's reputation from the publication and sale of Ms. Dunham's memoir."
The statement adds that due to numerous details in Dunham's memoir that falsely point to him as her rapist, "Barry has already spent a substantial portion of his savings on legal fees because of the actions (and inactions) of Ms. Dunham and Penguin Random House."
The statement makes it apparent that Barry One has already racked up at least two months worth of legal fees. Through his attorney, Barry One has been in contact with Dunham's representatives since October 6. "Despite multiple requests," the statement says, "Lena Dunham has not issued any sort of statement clearing Barry’s name and clarifying the confusion that is happening."
The statement concludes by assuring contributors that "[a]ny proceeds not used on legal related costs will be donated to not-for-profit organizations that assist victims of rape and sexual assault, to be selected at a later date."
Questions and inquiries should go through Mr. Minc, who is with the law firm of Dinn Hochmann & Potter, LLC.
Two well-respected legal writers, the Washington Post's Eugene Volokh and Power Line's John Hinderaker agree that Barry One has a solid libel case against Dunham.
Take care of those titties for me.
