The Ugly Side of Lena Dunham
PJ Media ^ | 30 Oct 2014 | Stephen Green

Posted on 10/30/2014 3:47:13 PM PDT by Rummyfan

Not to take one single smidgen of a thing away from Jonah Goldberg, whom I enjoy and respect in equal and enormous measure, but Kevin Williamson is to me the most interesting thinker at National Review. Today he takes on Girls girl Lena Dunham, who he says in one sense

may truly be the voice of her generation: The enormous affluence and indulgence of her upbringing did not sate her sundry hungers — for adoration, for intellectual respect that she has not earned, for the unsurpassable delight of moral preening — but instead amplified and intensified her sense of entitlement. The Brooklyn of Girls is nothing more or less than a 21st-century version of the Malibu Barbie Dreamhouse, with New York City taxis standing in for the pink Corvette. Writers naturally indulge their own autobiographical and social fantasies, from Brideshead Revisited to The Lord of the Rings, but Girls represents a phenomenon distinctly of our time: the fantasy not worth having.

Nudity is nudity, apparently, or she wouldn’t have an audience. Fwiw, I think all the cries of “Fat!” are overblown and hypocritical. She’s not bad-looking, underneath the “acquired ugly” of her public persona She has pretty eyes, a clear complexion, and an unremarkably-pudgy figure.

If she was, say, the receptionist at your veterinarian’s office, with a sweet personality and a, “Have a blessed day, honey!” you might ask her out if you were a single, dog-loving guy in your 20s.

Her problems are moral, not physical, and it seems, from the Williamson article based on her book, that her parents have a lot to do with that. I’m grateful every day for OldTax-lady and The Captain ... everyday bourgeois people whose “issues” were well within the normal range.

Dunham is a walking, talking Mobius strip. There is no good side.

She is a pasty, doughy, snaggle-toothed slut. She is pro-abortion, of course. She did the ad for Obola in which she compared voting to losing one’s virginity. Thanks to Lena, her two-year-old sister was too young to have a memory of that event.

My thoughts exactly. Or to put it more nicely: This assumes there is a pretty side.

I’m sorry, but who is Lena Dunham?

A poor little rich girl, best ignored by normal folks.

I may be missing the boat. I am having/have had an incredibly interesting life. Maybe I should expose the whole thing to the public, who will most assuredly wait with bated breath for the next episode. All I have to do is take of my clothes and whine at the camera? Piece of cake.

You too can have your own show. We’re ALL more interesting than this twerp.
