QuoteLena Dunham is fighting back at critics who accused her of molesting her younger sister based on a story in her book, Not That Kind of Girl.
The excerpt in question:
"One day, as I sat in our driveway in Long Island playing with blocks and buckets, my curiosity got the best of me. Grace was sitting up, babbling and smiling, and I leaned down between her legs and carefully spread open her vagina. She didn't resist and when I saw what was inside I shrieked."
"My mother came running. 'Mama, Mama! Grace has something in there!' "
"My mother didn't bother asking why I had opened Grace's vagina. This was within the spectrum of things I did. She just on her knees and looked for herself. It quickly became apparent that Grace had stuffed six or seven pebbles in there. My mother removed them patiently while Grace cackled, thrilled that her prank had been a success."
After the politically conservative site Truth Revolt alleged she had abused her sister, Dunham, 28, took to Twitter.
"The right wing news story that I molested my little sister isn't just LOL – it's really f------ upsetting and disgusting," she wrote.
"Usually this is stuff I can ignore but don't demean sufferers, don't twist words," she continued. "I told a story about being a weird seven year old. I bet you have some too ..."
One person who's apparently taking the situation in stride: Dunham's sister. In her final Tweet, Dunham wrote, "I wish my sister wasn't laughing so hard."

QuoteLena is Hollywood's millennial golden girl and the accolades are a-plenty so there's much buzz around her memoir "Not That Kind of Girl." But yesterday, a website called Truth Revolt published one troubling excerpt from Lena's book about exploration of her sister's vagina when they were both children (Lena was 7, Grace was 1). That led to other people writing about other parts of the book that were equally worthy of epic side-eyes.
"One day, as I sat in our driveway in Long Island playing with blocks and buckets, my curiosity got the best of me. Grace was sitting up, babbling and smiling, and I leaned down between her legs and carefully spread open her vagina. She didn't resist and when I saw what was inside I shrieked.... My mother didn't bother asking why I had opened Grace's vagina. This was within the spectrum of things I did. She just on her knees and looked for herself. It quickly became apparent that Grace had stuffed six or seven pebbles in there. My mother removed them patiently while Grace cackled, thrilled that her prank had been a success."
Also, THIS (from Glamour):
'As she grew, I took to bribing her time and affection: one dollar in quarters if I could do her makeup like a "motorcycle chick." Three pieces of candy if I could kiss her on the lips for five seconds. Whatever she wanted to watch on TV if she would just "relax on me." Basically, anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl, I was trying.'
Let the church say: EW.
Somewhere else in the book, Lena talks about masturbating next to her sister in bed (and she was much older than 7 then). So, there are people who are understandably shocked and outraged by these pieces of her memoir and of the admittance in such a cavalier way. There are LAYERS and LEVELS to this dysfunction and none of them justify these excerpts.
Some people are saying Lena sexually molested her little sister, and that she's a predator. I'm stopping short of saying that but I can't just brush it off as "normal childhood behavior." Kids do creepy things but do those children turn around as adults to write about those moments like fond memories? Especially when those moments involve someone else's private parts that you "spread apart." Is it normal to compare what you did to something a sexual predator would as a full grown person?
If you're Lena Dunham the Weird, I guess so.
Even the way it was written makes me terribly uncomfortable ."...And I leaned down between her legs and carefully spread open her vagina. She didn't resist." If you didn't know she was talking about her sister, you'd think it was from an erotica. Reading that made me wince because that is about her baby sister! That "she didn't resist" piece gave it extra gross factor.
Barf.
Um she was seven and she didn't touch anything....so....how is this news? I mean weird as fuck but she is an actress.
How did she become a thing and when is she going away.

That's a bit of a weird argument to make. It's like saying that an adult who writes how he used to burn ants as a kid is an arsonist.
Anyways, maybe the willingness to overshare is the thing some Languishes are missing in order to finish their novels. :P

A properly adjusted adult should show shame and remorse when writing about they used to burn ants as kid. She doesn't seem to show either of the two.

Well, she is an artist. A part of being an artist is the fact that one has no shame (or less shame than other people). I wasn't entirely joking with my post about writing novels - the reason why so many people try to but are unable to finish could be linked to an inner block (you call "shame") against sharing one's inner thoughts.
I'm just lazy and have no new ideas.
Don't get me wrong. I have no great love for Lena Dunham. But if we are to lambast her for something, then it should be her "fat acceptance" attitude, which advocates harmful, unhealthy behaviours, not her creepy childhood oversharing.

Yeah, I'm actually with Marti on this one. What she did as a kid was weird and maybe unhealthy, but it'd be better to get on her for what she's doing that's
currently causing harm to herself and others.
The uproar over the vag story isn't really doing anything except selling more copies of her book. Kinda surprised everyone's falling so hard for the troll.

No, it isn't like that at all. It was Dunham who first compared her actions to that of a sexual predator.

Oh it was and that's how I took at the time. However, the more that we hear out of Dunham, it's pretty clear that it wasn't too far off the mark, insofar as it describes one of her personality flaws.

All I recall from that season was the OCD nonsense and the trite plot-line of imploding Marnie.
So apparently she is shocked that people are grossed out by her revelations from her own book. What did she think the reaction would be?
I'm not grossed out.

I don't care if you say negative things about her.
I've never seen her show, don't know what she looks like, and I've never heard her voice. All I know about her is that she apparently is fat, and that she apparently has a TV show (and now a book); and that garbon likes to start threads about her.
In fact, as far as I'm concerned, Ms. Dunham's biggest claim to fame and most noteworthy characteristic is that garbon likes to post threads about her. Which is why I note it. I'd never heard of her otherwise.
That fact that you like to mock her doesn't register at all. She's a woman, after all, so it's expected.
You guys can mock her as much as you like as far as I'm concerned :hug:

Okay... I guess the process went like this:
1 - I only know about Dunham from this board.
2 - The main people who've talked about her are you, spicy, and ed.
3 - I discount pretty much everything spicy and ed say about women.
4 - By process of elimination, you're the only one who've said anything about Dunham on this board that I've registered.
5 - Ergo, I know about Dunham because of you.
But I'll retract allegations of Dunham-philia on your part, even if the garbon-Dunham link remains solid in my psyche.

If you don't want to be exposed to oversharing don't read a bloody memoir :P
A sexual predator, to my mind, requires some intent, or arousal, or something sexual. A curious, if a little gross, seven year old isn't a sexual predator.
Anyway if you've written one and there's nothing in there that can be used against you then you've not been honest.

I don't think you get grabon's point. Dunham herself described her actions as being very similar to those of a sexual predator.

Sure. That doesn't mean you have to put everything in there, though.

edit...less this gets out...I am only kidding of course. I was born and raised in a very Catholic household. I didn't know my sisters had vaginas until i was, like, 20.
I agree that Grab On appears to have a fag hag fag crush on Shmoo.

Garbon, whats up with the Lena Dunham fetish?
You know, I'm wondering if I'll be accused of being so into other things that I have posted about on a more frequent basis. Do Seedy and I have a black guy fetish? :D
Seedy clearly does.

A sexual predator, to my mind, requires some intent, or arousal, or something sexual. A curious, if a little gross, seven year old isn't a sexual predator.
I don't think you get grabon's point. Dunham herself described her actions as being very similar to those of a sexual predator.
QuoteAnyway if you've written one and there's nothing in there that can be used against you then you've not been honest.
Sure. That doesn't mean you have to put everything in there, though.
The art of memoir's a bitch, ain't it?
People under 30 shouldn't write memoirs.

Unless that period of time is particularly noteworthy on its own, yeah- for example, a child star might get some traction out of the memoir detailing under 30 for them. Usually nobody'll care about after then, though.

Generally crushes involve positive feelings about the person you are crushing on, right? I recently decided that I'm no longer going to watch her show and have for a while loathed her, so I'm not sure that fits me. :unsure:

It's a twisted crush. Like Silence of the Lambs.
She could probably use some lotion.
She? :huh:

Would Garbon truly look fabulous in a Lena Dunham suit? :hmm:
Would there be enough left over to make a matching vest? :hmm:
So many questions!

garbon is a tiny guy. Given Lena Dunham's size, he would have enough left for a poncho.

Strongly worded letter?

Strongly worded letter?
Now that would make an interesting read.
"Dear Sir, it has been brought to my attention that you intend to make some sort of garments out of my skin. I really must protest in the strongest terms ... "
Speaking of strongly worded letters, I recently sent one to an organic food chain and it was ignored. How should I react? Should I boycott* it or write a letter to a leftist newspaper instead?
*It is the most convenient organic food chain for me to shop at.
What's so orgasmic about their food?
NM misread.
How about C) Get over yourself

You could just not buy that beer.

They shouldnt run with beer in their hands.
Maybe he means they have a line through which beer runs directly from the brewery to the store.
In all seriousness though, there is a brewery in Belgium that is doing pretty much that.

I'm guessing Marty's yoga is a rhetorical device. Despite the fact I have dabbled in yoga/pilates. :D
I do go to yoga, although only twice a month or so. The posts I wrote were exaggerated but reflected reality. :P

It was the best beer you've ever had.
It was pretty good. American-style pale ale with decent hops.
