Lena Dunham Slammed for Defending ‘Girls’ Writer Accused of Rape
The Wrap ^ | November 17, 2017 | Reid Nakamura

Posted on 11/17/2017 6:48:34 PM PST by EdnaMode

Lena Dunham came to the defense of a “Girls” writer accused of rape on Friday, and some Twitter users have called her out for choosing to support the alleged perpetrator over his female accuser.

“Never call yourself an advocate for women again because you’ve just proven that you are NOT,” one user wrote. Several others dug up a tweet of Dunham’s from August in which she said women do not lie about rape.

The backlash came after Dunham spoke out against actress Aurora Perrineau, who filed a police report on Friday saying she did not consent to sex with “Girls” writer Murray Miller in 2012 when she was 17.

“While our first instinct is to listen to every woman’s story, our insider knowledge of Murray’s situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3% of assault cases that are misreported every year,” Dunham said in a statement cosigned by her “Girls” showrunner Jenni Konner.

“It is a true shame to add to that number, as outside of Hollywood women still struggle to be believed. We stand by Murray and this is all we’ll be saying about this issue,” the statement continued.

“Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner have spent so much time boasting about their feminist political commitments. Yet, all of their feminist righteousness goes out of the window as soon as their friend is accused. White women are an absolute trip,” wrote Bitch Media senior culture editor Evette Dionne.

Women are to be believe .... unless it is someone she knows!

The “3% of misreported...” You mean you’re calling her a liar, Lena?

Miss Dunham engaged in her own inappropriate incestuous behavior growing up. YEARS of grooming and her sister became a lesbian.

Dunham is a hypocrite. Based on what I’ve seen, most liberals don’t like her.

She will end up like Lisa Bloom, Gloria Allred’s daughter.

Threw away her career over a sexual predator.

This repulsively repugnant disgrace to the female gender and humanity, common decency, does not deserve one iota of comment on Free Republic. Forgive me for violating what I just said.

The number of false reports is closer to 30% than it is to 3%.

Every time I read the name of that person (loosely-termed), I imagine the smell of very rancid body odor. Same effect happens when I view any images of her.

One of the great things TDS has accomplished is giving the progtards the boldness to bring their hypocrisy right out into the open.

In I Corps we had a couple of words when the enemy gets this careless or this arrogant:

FIRE MISSION!

And after a few deft adjustments:

FIRE FOR EFFECT!

Instead of “Spy versus Spy” it’s Democrat “Bitch versus Bitches”. Love a dog fight more than a cat fight.
