Liberal actress and self-professed feminist Lena Dunham has blamed the right wing media for attacking her by calling her a child molester.

Dunham commented via her Twitter page that the “right wing news story” about her sexually molesting her younger sister is both “LOL” and “disgusting.” What makes her self-described angry “rage spiral” baffling is that all anyone did was quote her own words for her memoir “Not That Kind of Girl.” The book contains accounts that can certainly be interpreted as sexual molestation of a minor.

In one of the excerpts, Dunham writes of bribing her sister with “three pieces of candy if I could kiss her on the lips for five seconds . . . anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl I was trying.” The more damaging passages are too graphic to quote in this space.

It would be tough to interpret her account as anything other than a terrible violation of her little sister, but apparently pointing out the obvious sent Dunham in a meltdown on Twitter.

The right wing news story that I molested my little sister isn’t just LOL- it’s really fucking upsetting and disgusting.

And by the way, if you were a little kid and never looked at another little kid’s vagina, well, congrats to you.

Usually this is stuff I can ignore but don’t demean sufferers, don’t twist my words, back the fuck up bros.

I told a story about being a weird 7 year old. I bet you have some too, old men, that I’d rather not hear. And yes, this is a rage spiral.

Perhaps Ms. Dunham is outraged that only the right-wing media will hold her to account for what she admitted. As a liberal icon of the feminist movement, attacking Dunham is strictly off limits for mainstream media. The difference is that if this memoir was written by a conservative star, both the mainstream and “right-wing” media would justifiably find it appalling. When a liberal star does it, it seems only the conservative media will report it.

In response to Dunham’s Twitter tirade, many in the Twitterverse chimed in with their thoughts.

So, Lena Dunham is irritated with Kevin Williamson because he quoted her own words?

Lena Dunham and her fans disgust me I thought feminists believed in harsh consequences for rapists yet they’re worshipping one

I need @lenadunham to understand that it’s not just straight white conservative men that are disgusted by these latest revelations.

how are you a feminist if you are normalizing the fact that you molested your little sister? @lenadunham

According to twitter you’re a white RW monster or an angry poc if you think lena dunham repeatedly molesting her sister was wrong

Lena Dunham admits to molesting her sister, then plays victim when people call her on it? Can we isolate SJWs from the civilized world?
