| 'It was painful - but most women experience worse victim blaming': Lena Dunham |
| 2015-01-08 |
| [DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Lena Dunham has responded to the media backlash surrounding her account of having been sexually assaulted by a college classmate in her recent memoir, but also acknowledged that she didn't experience the level of 'victim blaming' that many other woman do, due to her celebrity status. Had it actually occurred, perhaps the "victim" could have been blamed. During an appearance on the Today show Wednesday morning, the 28-year-old told Savannah Guthrie: 'It's a very, very painful thing to share an episode that personal and receive criticism, but what I received was only a small percentage of the doubt and victim blaming that most women who are sexually assaulted in this country experience. Got drunk, got high, got laid, accused somebody who didn't even know her, feels misunderstood. Got it. 'I am a celebrity with a platform and a lot of incredible support. Not to mention an incredible story. Most women who come forward with accusations of sexual assault don't have those benefits, don't have my legal and emotional and financial supports. And so for me, I really feel that it enhanced my understanding of the cause and hopefully will make me a better advocate and activist in the future.' She really is an oblivious, odious, nasty piece of work. |

| #11 Not 'til she ceases to be fashionable useful. Yep, although her usefulness is largely a function of how fashionable she is. |

| #8 Ok let me this this right. The Liar (Lena) is the victim. The lied-about and slandered is the perp. Black is white. Freedom is Slavery. Truth is Falsehood. Lena is Attractive. Got it! I think the guys in white coats need to be called. |

| #5 It's disgusting that Feminists have yet to call her out as the poser she is. She's the lefty version of the guy in a bar making wild claims to be a hero and a Navy Seal but there is nobody on the Left who cares to call her on it because of the greater truthiness. Not 'til she ceases to be fashionable. |

| #3 But in this case, if you will, stolen valor. The duuude who failed basic and goes about saying he was marine recon, wearing the 7th cav. "I'm going to destroy the doubt people have about sexual assault by totally making up a fake story about sexual assault" |

| #1 She has mixed victim and perp again. Lena, when you lie and make it appear as if someone did something you did not, you are not the victim. When you admit to pedophile manipulations of your sister, you are not the victim. It's disgusting that Feminists have yet to call her out as the poser she is. She's the lefty version of the guy in a bar making wild claims to be a hero and a Navy Seal but there is nobody on the Left who cares to call her on it because of the greater truthiness. |
