She got slammed in Newsweek. She is toast.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 85%. (I'm a bot)

No matter how many times she does it, Lena Dunham doesn't seem to get any better at apologizing.

Her most recent attempt to make amends arrives at a critical point in Hollywood history and modern feminism, and it's time to recognize that her political stances are not misguided, or even inconsistent: They aren't ruled by values, but by what's good for Dunham and her friends.

In a post, Clemmons didn't hold back and - as any person who uses words as the bedrock of their entire profession should - delivered a clear message: "As a result of Lena Dunham's statements, I have decided that I will no longer write for Lenny Letter. For all you writers who are outraged about what she did, I encourage you to do the same. Especially women of color. She cannot have our words if she cannot respect us."

Starting to look like the point when the pendulum swings back.

The beauty of twitter is that she gets to dig her own grave. And all of us get to eat popcorn and enjoy.

In August she wrote it was impossible for a woman to lie about rape. This week she issues a statement that a woman lied about rape.

She destroyed what credibility she had and now both ends of the spectrum are taking her to task. It’s glorious.

This is fun to watch.

There hasn't been a need for feminism in a century, the only people who use it are shitty liars and bigots.
