For anyone thinking, "that was such a long time ago", or "maybe they're not friends anymore", many of these people have guest starred or cameo'd on GIRLS

To all the haters, harassers and abusers creeping into my timeline, remember this: I brought down a major celebrity and her publication with one Facebook post. Try me.

Many on Twitter echoed Clemmons’ statement. The backlash, even to Dunham’s own apology post, was fire and brimstone. And she deserves it:
This isn't about "politics" or "timing" – this is about claiming the feminist label only when convenient.

Her 4th “post backlash statement.” Backlash has included supporting indentured servitude, rape jokes, whatever racist thing she said about Odell Beckham and now supporting a culture of calling women who come forward with sexual assault allegations, liars. It’s abhorrent

A perfect example of saying sorry just to say sorry. Too late..colors have been shown, babe.

You have a long history of NOT listening to women, especially WOC. Coming out against sex work decriminalization, for example? You're only a "feminist" when it's convenient for your personal brand.

Lena Dunham doesn't believe her white male friend raped her black female costar? Color me shocked. Almost like white feminism is really only about uplifting and supporting white women as they pursue their ultimate capitalistic goals of sharing the role with men as oppressors.

Lena dunham be like: women coming forward about sexual assault are so important but only if the assaulter is not someone i know personally

Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner have spent so much time boasting about their feminist political commitments. Yet, all of their feminist righteousness goes out of the window as soon as their friend is accused. White women are an absolute trip. https://t.co/gRk10NHlt9
