Why aren’t people going after this predatory child abuser with the full strength of the law!

Survivors have the right to tell their stories

then let them be the ones to tell them instead of making up your own, you lying cuXt!

Interviewer probably had to do a little boot scraping after that interview!

Look how carefully scripted even the subtitle is:

“The ways I’ve been attacked for sharing my story show how far we have to go when discussing sexual assault.”

Right from the start, she is shifting the narrative from “I lied” to “I’ve been attacked”. Then, she uses the phrase “sharing my story”, which makes it sound ambiguous as to whether it is supposed to be fictional or not. It’s not the objective truth that matters here, it’s that she is “discussing sexual assault” that is important.

This paragraph contains a whopper:

"I have a certain empathy for the journalists who asked me questions like whether I regret how much I drank that night or what my attacker would say if he was asked about me. These ignorant lines of inquiry serve to further flawed narratives about rape, but these people are reacting to the same set of social signals that we all are — signals telling us that preventing assault is a woman’s job, that rape is only rape when a stranger drags you into a dark alley with a knife at your throat, that our stories are never true, and that lying about rape is a way for women to enact revenge on innocent men. These misconceptions about rape are rampant, destructive and precisely the thing that prevents survivors from seeking the support that they need and deserve."

So, according to Dunham, women don't lie about rape to inflict harm on men? I wonder, does she think women simply don't lie about rape, or that they do, but only with the noblest motives?

Speaking out about the realities and complexities of sexual assault is how we begin to protect each other. I do not want our daughters born into a world that reacts to sexual violence against women in this way.

Speaking out was never about exposing the man who assaulted me. ... I did not wish to ... open a criminal investigation. I am in a loving and peaceful place in my life and I am not willing to sacrifice any more of it for this person I do not know..."

What bizarre logic. Ms. Dunham wants to "protect" others, and prevent "our daughters" from sexual violence, but she's having too much fun right now to want to bother to prosecute somebody she believes to be an actual rapist. If she doesn't want to spend any of her time prosecuting somebody she believes is a rapist, why should the rest of us care about him either? Or for that matter anyone like him? Why would we want to "sacrifice" a couple of weeks of our lives, for instance, to sit on a jury and listen to the evidence of an alleged rape?

Fortunately, unlike Ms. Dunham, most people care very much about preventing rape. That's why we believe in prosecuting and punishing rapists. Sometimes life isn't all about "love" and "peace" or even your own feelings. Sometimes you have to put your own feelings and good times aside and do the right thing, like cooperating with law enforcement to get a criminal off the streets. Apparently Ms. Dunham couldn't be bothered with that kind of responsibility to society.

Or she doesn't really believe a crime was committed.

I’m confused. The girl in the book is a compendium of Dunham’s imaginary experiences with a guy Named Barry.

So... is she the girlfriend in Obama’s book that is a compendium of his imaginary experiences ?

sorry means she did it. That means he’ll win in court.

Crazy Feminist and a bit deranged I’d say... She will eventually be outed as an odd and perhaps emotionally damaged person - mental problems at the least.

Didn’t she molest her little sister?

Also Google her pervert father’s art (Carroll Dunham) to see the sick trash she grew up with.

I am guessing she was asked to a pig party. That is where you get a date with the ugliest, fattest girl you know. Then swaray with your buddies to get drunk and compare pigs. It is a Greek thing to do and Lena could very well have been so offended she morphed it into a rape fantasy.

God I hope “Barry 1” sues her sorry arse for a seven figure settlement. He has an excellent libel/defamation claim. Also, “Barry 1” is not a public figure before Dunham wrote her lies so winning a libel case is much easier than say if Dunham charged some public figure with raping her.

Ms. Dunham, if you don't apologize for your story soon, you'll not only be sued for a serious amount of money, but it's like HBO may just cancel Girls because of your legal troubles.
