Sure, kids do weird shit, absolutely. Louis C.K. has a joke about his daughter pertaining to the subject. However, the amount of detail Dunham describes her antics with? There's no fucking way she was only 7 when it occurred (there's no way she'd have the cognitive function to be able to understand the gravity of what she was doing. So, it'd be nearly impossible for her to recall it in such vivid detail). In which case, it's most assuredly sexual abuse.Kids do weird ass shit, it isn't sexual abuse or even out of the ordinary.
If you want some advice from a guy with no kids (so talking out of my ass) then read on.What do I teach my girls about feminism? Obviously I want them to have positive role models and self esteem, and understand the world for what it really is and the choices/sacrifices they will be faced with. But jesus christ if I have to listen to this bullshit about the patriarchy and rape culture here in a few years, I just don't know. That is such a tough row, you want to expose them to these ideas but there are these extremists who make the whole thing look like a sham. Same for anything, i guess.
If you want a sense of what kind of person she is and can stomach sitting through it, then watch a few episodes ofGirls. She admits that she basically plays herself on the show and her character is fucking insufferable.Ah, my bad. I know next to nothing about her beyond this thread, so I assumed she was just some typical celeb that doesn't actually write their autobiography.
Karen StraughanMeh, if she wasn't such a cunt no one would care. Kids do weird ass shit, it isn't sexual abuse or even out of the ordinary. But because she is a turbocunt people are milking it, and whatever, she certainly deserves some bad press.
Araysar does have a point, though. If a man wrote those things I could totally see a holier than thou Lena Dunham rant about it.
The #fartrape pic in the FSR got me pondering for some reason. What do I teach my girls about feminism?

She is clearly filling in her memory with fiction, just like everyone else does. If the sister was 1 she was absolutely 7, you can confirm that with elementary school math. I know she's insufferable, but come on.Sure, kids do weird shit, absolutely. Louis C.K. has a joke about his daughter pertaining to the subject.

Obviously. I'm saying that she's likely flubbing the ages at which this occurred. I don't think she was 7 and I don't think her sister was 1. By making it an age low enough to be "innocent", she thought she could write something that was fairly disturbing, but "edgy" and "safe", because "kids will be kids! hurr durr!". Even if itisjust a case of "filling in the details", I find that pretty fucking sickening/disgusting.If the sister was 1 she was absolutely 7, you can confirm that with elementary school math.
Maybe she lied about the age, idk. But literally every one year old has the ability to shove t hings into their vagina. Every one year old that doesn't have developmental issues and actually has a vagina that is. You guys should spend some time around little girls, they are enthralled by their vaginas. Boys are the same with the penis.Show me the 1 year old that has the manual dexterity to push her diaper aside, open her vagina, and insert multiple rocks into it.
That story was either made up, or Dunham put those rocks in there. Either way, fucking weird.
The baby stuff doesn't really matter though. Dunham was a child herself after all. Its the jacking it beside your pre-teen sister that is extremely questionable behaviour to say the least.
In the room with? Sure. Other childrenmy age, in the same room.Maybe she lied about the age, idk. But literally every one year old has the ability to shove t hings into their vagina.

Even the masturbating isn't all that bad. I didn't actually read the passage, but I am assuming her sister was asleep and she wasn't rubbing her tits or something while she did it. You guys never masturbated with someone else in the room?
I find sexual coercion between a teen and a child deeply disturbing, and behaviour that would require immediate correction if identified. I also find sexual contact between children of vastly differing ages and maturity level extremely troubling. I'm not alone on this.So it's the age or the proximity that makes it fucked up? I don't really understand why you think that's a big deal.
Did you not read the part where she would bribe her sister with candy for long kisses on the mouth? Manipulating her into laying on top of her, or sharing a bed? That's the most disturbing part of the whole thing for me. These are known tactics employed in exploitative situations. A parent allowing it to happen/continue is absolutely shocking.I'm confused, because it sounds like there was no sexual contact, much less coerced sexual contact. But maybe I'm wrong, I'm not reading anything that woman wrote on purpose to find out more.
You seriously don't find it all disturbing to be masturbating in the same room as your sibling, in the same fucking bed? Even leaving out the huge age/maturity differences.You guys never masturbated with someone else in the room?
This is exactly how she portrays her character on her show. Like I said earlier, she acknowledges that she simply plays herself.She's oh so concerned with society and social justice but she's completely self centered and unaware the people surrounding her aren't simple automatons but living thinking beings. It's pretty amazing.
