[quote=Anonymous]Here's a comment from the comment section of The Cut to ponder, for all of you who hate her so much:

"I think our society is far too hung up on perfection, as judged by these petty little purity tests. Judging from these comments, Dunham's work--its nudity, its insensitivity, its focus on the self--clearly makes some people tremendously uncomfortable. It's not just that it isn't for them (because who reads an article this long about a TV writer whose work they aren't really into?), but it fills them with such strong emotions that they feel compelled to read this huge article in order to write nasty comments about Dunham, her body, her work, etc. I suppose it can be unpleasant being reminded that we also are imperfect; that most of us probably look a bit more like Dunham in our underwear than like underwear models, for example, or that we also probably seem sad and needy when we talk about exes after breakups, or that we also put our foot in it sometimes or sometimes come across as being a little too impressed with ourselves. I'm all for TV shows/movies that are just feel-good experiences, we all need that sometimes. But we need the kind of art that challenges us to really see ourselves and grow, too."
