The Girls creator wrote an op-ed for the New York Times in the wake of the sexual harassment allegations against Weinstein
Lena Dunham has called out men in Hollywood for their deafening silence in the wake the sexual harassment allegations made against Harvey Weinstein.
In a New York Times op-ed, the Girls creator and star claimed that while Weinstein is the most powerful man in Hollywood to be revealed as a predator and his alleged behavior is a microcosm of what has been happening in Hollywood since always and of what workplace harassment looks like for women everywhere.
A liberal-leaning industry, we have been quick to condemn Bill OReilly, Roger Ailes and, yes, the president. We do not accept sexual abuse as locker room talk,' she wrote, citing President Donald Trumps defense of his graphic, sexist comments in a 2005 Access Hollywood video. So why the deafening silence, particularly from the industrys men, when one of our own is outed as having a nasty taste for humiliating and traumatizing women?
While actors Seth Rogen and Mark Ruffalo and directors James Gunn, Scott Derrickson, and Kevin Smith have spoken out about Weinstein in recent days, much of the criticism against the former executive has been expressed by prominent women in Hollywood, including Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet, Judi Dench, and Julianne Moore. Late-night comedy shows hosted by men avoided the topic on Friday, and reports surfaced that Saturday Night Live cut Weinstein references from Weekend Update and a sketch because they werent playing well in dress rehearsal. (John Oliver did take on the Weinstein allegations during Last Week Tonight on Sunday.)

He had the chance, but the potted plant won out.
How about you quit blaming men for every evil perpetrated since history began? Or is that asking too much for a bloated skank?
Has Lena’s sister denounced Lena for the 7+ years of molestation that turned her queer? Grooming it is called.
Venus fly trap, I understand.
Sister fister.....
If Harvey had the choice to masturbate on Lena or a Potted Plant, he would choose the Potted Plant.
Even Harvey has his limits. LOL
#Stoppottedplantsexualabuse...
Conservative men have already denounced Harvey Weinstein shenanigans
Resentful that not even Harvey would give her a tumble.....
Lena, you sexually abused your own younger sister multiple times. And sold a book where you describe what you did to her. You make money off your sexual abuse of your own sister.
You have no moral authority to call for condemning anyone for this kind of thing while you still walk around free and making money from it.
Ick, how about we all denounce Lena.
Lena Dunham is not calling on men to condemn him...she is trying to imply they dont already.
Maybe she’s mad she was below his standards and never got hit o by Harvey.
