[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I’m clearly in the minority, but I hate how she gets so much hate. Yes she seems annoying, but I think the hate directed towards her is out of proportion to her personality, and is because we as a society like our women to be pretty, thin, and rule followers. She breaks a lot of rules for women, and it’s clear that we are so tribal and are trying to kick her out. She doesn’t belong, she’s not pretty enough, she’s too fat. You all sound so high school-ish, and hate her for having the audacity to think that someone like her, fat and not beautiful, could actually make it to the top. I personally wish there were more people like her, not exactly like her, but sort of like her, out there trying to break the rules for girls, so we have more than Jennifer Aniston as a role model.

I too am not super pretty, not thin, and I don't follow rules. However, unlike Dunham I don't flaunt my wealth and privilege, I think before I speak or write, and I don't sexually harass or assault others. It's a pretty low bar we've set for "celebrity" white ladies, and she doesn't rise to it.  [/quote]
