Dunham said she left the party early and was informed of Clinton’s loss when a friend called and told her.
The actress wrote that as a result of her support for Clinton throughout her campaign, she received “threats and abuse” at a level she could never have imagined. However, she remained hopeful that her detractors represented “the dying moans of the dragon known as the patriarchy being stabbed again and again in the stomach.”
Dunham continued:
We believed that on November 9, they’d be licking their wounds while we celebrated. It is painful on a cellular level knowing those men got what they wanted, just as it’s painful to know you are hated for daring to ask for what is yours. It’s painful to know that white women, so unable to look past their violent privilege, and so inoculated with hate for themselves, showed up to the polls for him, too. My voice was literally lost when I woke up, squeaky and raw, and I ached in the places that make me a woman, the places where I’ve been grabbed so carelessly, the places we are struggling to call our own.
In her essay, Dunham predicted it would be too difficult for Clinton supporters to attempt to understand the motivation behind Trump’s support, suggesting the task would be best left to “strategists” and “men in offices who need to run the numbers.”
“It should not be the job of women, of people of color, of queer and trans Americans, to understand who does not consider them human and why, just as it’s not the job of the abused to understand their abuser,” Dunham wrote. “It’s quite enough work to know about and bear the hatred of so many. It’s quite enough work to go on living.”

Shut up Lena you do not speak for me.
I don’t even understand one word she is saying.
It’s time for this little obnoxious bimbo to dry up and blow away. We don’t care what she thinks. She’s a freak.
I sense projection.
That person is seriously messed-up in the head. /Captain Obvious
As we have all known for a long-time.
Is she writing that from somewhere in Canada?
If not, she should STFU.
How’d she get the idea of what was hers?
Was it what God desired to give, or was it what she reasoned she ought to be able to demand?
Wow, these commies are all wee-wee’ed up.
Lena please stop working on living.
I don’t know who she is.
I thought she moved to Canada.
It’s depressing that this woman, with all of her weak-mindedness and neuroses and self-pity and unfounded anger, is so representative of so many Western women these days. For all of feminism’s claims about female empowerment, its adherents are so much weaker and whinier than their non-feminist predecessors.
These whineyass snowflakes always spew lies like this. They have no credibility and can't be believed. She needs to go back doing whatever the hell she does when she's not out there posing as some kind of a celebrity freak.
Shhh....quiet everyone, the deranged, pear-shaped freak speaketh!
She sure does not speak for me and my friends and relatives. We are not the silent majority any longer. She just needs to be quiet.
She will like snap (more) and go back to molesting her sister.
I think she is saying that people who voted for Trump (especially women) were too stupid to know what they were doing. She (and her ilk) know what’s best for us all, y’know.
