"White Feminists Are Fucking Up By Ignoring Lena Dunham’s Abuse"

"It’s all very surface-level feminism. Lots of talk about accepting your body and being able to have the kind of sex you want, not much about the lives and experiences of anybody outside their demographic, accompanied by the assumption that of COURSE we must all be interested. It’s light, it’s easily digestible. And when we are in that nook, that warm little wrinkle of surface-level feminism that focuses on the “me me me”, it can become escapism. Liberating on an individual level, for sure, empowering even, but ultimately it’s for the individual and not for the collective."

Maybe this explains why I never got that into Girls, it wasn't being subversive in a way that actually subverted anything related to me, and I kept waiting for it to, and at best it mostly reinforced stuff.
