INVESTIGATION: LENA DUNHAM ‘RAPED BY A REPUBLICAN’ STORY IN BESTSELLER COLLAPSES UNDER SCRUTINY
Big Hollywood ^ | December 4, 2014 | John Nolte

Posted on 12/04/2014 6:00:45 AM PST by C19fan

In her just-released memoir, Not That Kind of Girl, Lena Dunham describes her alma mater, Oberlin College, as "a liberal arts haven in the cornfields of Ohio." After a month-long investigation that included more than a dozen interviews, a trip to the Oberlin campus, and hours spent poring through the Oberlin College archives, her description of the campus remains the only detail Breitbart News was able to verify in Dunham's story of being raped by a campus Republican named Barry.

But, but, but ... it was "fake but accurate". It was a useful "COMPOSITE", like her emperor is fond of employing for his nefarious purposes.

That’s the first thing I thought of when she made that disph8 ad for Barry, was that she is a relative of Barry’s alleged mother, Ann Dunham.

Liberal women love to claim rape to prove a claim of a general rape culture that doesn’t exist in fact.

This entire country has been raped daily for the past 5 years by Democrats. She shouldn’t complain.

If this broad is going to make those kinds of charges, then she should name the individual explicitly and seek legal charges.

If she doesn’t, then she is smearing an innocent man.

Which is it, Lena?

She seems to have fantasized about this guy while at Oberlin and he never paid her any attention.She is still fantasizing. Now she is retaliating against him for the crime of never noticing her.

I doubt there are more than 10 guys in the country that could take Lena in a fight. She’s a hoss.

She gets to have it both ways. He can’t charge her with slander because she doesn’t explicitly identify him and he can’t defend himself without giving credence to her charges.

Ah, but Dunham didn’t quite make a rape claim, either true or false. She reported a night of sex, while drunk and high, with a fellow student “Barry”, that arguably did not meet the definition of rape under Ohio law, but which a woman friend at the same college judged to have been rape (a judgement Dunham reports, but does not claim as her own) on the basis of the feminist notion that women are not responsible for their own actions when intoxicated, and thus the sex could not have been consensual. (Ohio law has a higher standard of “substantial impairment” in its definition of non-forcible rape, and details in Dunham’s account argue against her meeting the substantial impairment threshold.)

There have been several detailed deconstructions of her account posted to thread on FR which demonstrate that the incident would be held by any court operating under the laws of Ohio to have been consensual sex, not rape. In particular Dunham, drunk and high as she was, had sufficient agengy to at one point ask “Barry” to stop, which he did, and leave her room, which he did.

The whole description of the incident looks like it was vetted by a lawyer to be sure it couldn’t be the basis of a suit for libel, and wouldn’t induce the relevant Ohio prosecutor to seek an indictment.

I’ve been raped for the last six years by Barry 1, and this country is going to allow it to continue long after he’s out of the White House.

Who is Lena Dunham?

A personification of what is wrong with contemporary pop culture in the United States of America.

True.

Just imagine the stigma associated with letting the world know that you were (drunk or not) sufficiently attracted to her to try to bed her.

I’m also wondering whether the guy still has both arms.
