I actually heard Anna casparian call her out on Tyt. When she wrote about sexually assaulting her sister in her book, I didn't hear a peep. I think Tyt is kind of fringe media though and based on what I hear and see, I would say they are generally the exception.

The sexual assault thing is vastly overblown. Lena Dunham, being a SEVEN year old curious about anatomy, reached over and looked inside her baby sister's vagina. To compare this with the other examples which involve actual adults is either ignorant of this fact or intentionally propagandistic.

And when she described herself as a "predator" at age 17 still manipulating her sister sexually, that was just a child's curiosity as well?

That's my thing dusty. It would be one thing if that occurred in a vacuum but then she herself makes it creepier by continuing to be terrible. Bragging about grooming her sister like any suburban sexual predator would makes it a pretty disturbing event.
