It’s 8:30 p.m. I’ve been away from the computer for a few hours. I hop on Twitter to see what’s going down. I see tweets like this:
it is with a heavy heart that i must announce Lena Dunham is at it again

Finally something both liberals and conservatives can agree on.

We're all sick of Lena Dunham.
One day people are going to look at Lena Dunham and wonder why. Just why.

I want someone to put Max Landis and Lena Dunham in the Thunderdome and let God (aka Tina Turner) sort 'em out. pic.twitter.com/6aPrKNmPAG

It's time to pay Lena Dunham to support the Trump agenda so everyone else will turn against it.

Every time I think Lena Dunham can't get more disgusting she literally proves me wrong

My first thought is, GOD. What is Twitter getting so outraged about. Surely whatever Lena Dunham said couldn’t have been that bad … wait, what’s that? She said WHAT?
“One day, when I was visiting a Planned Parenthood in Texas a few years ago, a young girl walked up to me and asked me if I’d like to be a part of her project in which women share their stories of abortions,” she recalled. “I sort of jumped. ‘I haven’t had an abortion,’ I told her. I wanted to make it really clear to her that as much as I was going out and fighting for other women’s options, I myself had never had an abortion. And I realized then that even I was carrying within myself stigma around this issue. Even I, the woman who cares as much as anybody about a woman’s right to choose, felt it was important that people know I was unblemished in this department.”“Now I can say that I still haven’t had an abortion, but I wish I had.”
Jesus, Dunham. Jesus Christ.
My bad. I’m with Twitter on this.

Please don't mistake Lena Dunham's comment as pro-choice. What she said was pro-abortion which, until she said it, was not an actual thing.

in an era of hyperpartisanship, lena dunham's ability to craft takes that infuriate the entire political spectrum is genuinely impresive

This is maybe the most perfect description of Lena Dunham ever:
I kind of thought that Lena Dunham was going to be our generation's Woody Allen, but it turns out she's our generation's Woody Allen.

Congrats, Lena. Even the year 2016 is looking at you like, WTF?
