Lena Dunham isn't that talented

You need to learn the difference between a fact and an opinion.

I think Lena Dunham is a very gifted writer. Love her or hate her, some of her writing work on Girls (and beyond) is pretty brilliant. I'm 35 BTW.

Exactly. This is media consumption 101, people. Lena does not equal Hannah! And the fact that she makes her CHARACTER unattractive is quite brave. She's the only actress I've ever seen who looks way better IRL than on screen.

I agree, I thought it was excellent.

People don't like Lena because she's unapologetic and not conventionally attractive. Sexism at its finest.

Wow. Is it sexist to you whenever a woman is disliked, for whatever reason? Howard Stern is unapologetic and not conventionally attractive (to say the least). I find him repulsive. But I guess that's acceptable to you because he's a man. We just can't dislike women. Got it.

New poster here. But there are never any threads about Howard Stern, despite the fact that he continues to grind out his show year after year. But some people really, really hate Lena Dunham, and I think there is a sexist element to it. Every thread mentions how ugly her body is, as if they are FORCED to watch her show and see her naked. It is meant to be provocative! Her body is a normal, female body and not a traditional starlet or body double. If you don't like it, don't watch. Obviously her show is successful.

The Lenas are attacking. Back back, you hairy legged beasts.


Judd Apatow told you she was a gifted writer so she is? What the hell? Judd?

So are a great deal of 20th century paintings in art galleries all over the world. Doesn't mean they're not extraordinary pieces of art, or worth millions.

When "for whatever reason" usually (always?) includes a comment about her body or appearance, yep, that's sexist.

I've never seen her show as it doesn't interest me. However, just about everything on TV is garbage. I assume most of those writers are men, yet I don't hear constant criticism of them for writing such tripe.

I was going to say the same thing. Tiny Furniture is brilliant. People seem to dislike LD because she isn't beautiful, doesn't starve herself, is crass, and doesn't seem to care. She may not be your cup of tea, but she is talented and successful. Jelly much OP?

I was so disgusted by Hannah giving Ray a BJ. What kind of person does that? She seems to have no rational thought processes, at all. Why Fran stuck around longer than a few dates is beyond me.

She molested her sister. Do you need more reason?

The book deal outing someone identifiable as a rapist when really it was just drunk sex that she regretted killed her for me. I can't endorse someone who would profit off that type of lie.
