| Never heard of her. |
It's just the way of the world. |
John Hughes was a Boomer making movies about Gen X. Bret Easten Ellis is a Gen X writer who was hailed as the "voice of his generation." It's just silly media hype. Pay it no mind. |
Sure, until we change it. Which is what Lena (among others) is trying to do. |
| I have no opinion of Lena Dunham. Found Girls to be annoying so I didn't watch. What I hate is conversations about Lena Dunham, which becomes an argument over "fat hate" and "fat acceptance." Always! It is so tedious. Get a life, ladies. Why does the mere mention of her name devolve into this tired convo? Melissa McCarthy or Oprah discussion doesn't devolve into this. So odd! |
I find her writing as deep as a saucer. Don't think she has any insight beyond solipsism. |
There are plenty of successful unattractive women. Chloe Sevigny, Melissa McCarthy, Oprah, (yes, some of those women are fat, but so are some of pp's male examples), Whoopi Goldberg, Amy Winehouse, etc. Dunham isn't annoying because she's overweight (not FAT, I agree). She's annoying because she tries too hard to make her point. |
| She's annoying because she's always putting her body out there. Personally I think she's a talented writer and I like Girls, but I get tired of her needing to display her body. It's become a thing for her. |
if she lost 30 pounds she would be less offensive no matter what clothes she slopped on |
Just because it's the normal range, does not mean it's not fat. Telling yourself that you are average, because everyone else is fat, does not make you skinny. |
Oh brother. She's a real agent of change.
|
I think it's because we have to see a boob shot in every episode of Girls. So it's just something people notice more when you're naked, I guess? |
| I cannot stand her, she gets on all my nerves. That said, shaming women for their bodies is disgusting. I don't know how women can go on and on about being treated with respect and equality while in the same breath hurling attacks at other women for their appearance. |
Mindy Kaling is doing a better job because she isn't nearly as in your face annoying as Lena Dunham. LD goes out of her way to provocative. |
Completely agree. Mindy Kaling is for thinking women. Dunham is in it for the spectical. |
