Well done, Jezebel. Well done Jia Tolentino. You've finally reached a new low. You are now defending a child molester and a sexual predator. And hiding this abuse under the guise of "a right to a sexual narrative" and blaming everyone else but the person involved. This is truly sickening...but I can't expect more from a yuppie empowering website. When you are championing people who commit deviant, immoral, and criminal acts and saying that they are somehow brave and heroic for admitting, you're just digging a deep hole for yourself that will be impossible to get out of. I don't even check this site out, but this, and all of the delusional people that are so incapable of self-analysis or a deep reality check, truly boggles my mind. But this is now the sum amalgamation of what (white) feminism is now. When you cape and rush to defend the rights of your fellow white sisters no matter how wrong they may be and demonize people of color (
especially Black people...for whom your types have reduced to a talking point at best or worse...a target like the white patriarchy you supposedly resent and are "fighting" against) for doing the same thing or less. And let's not forget...Lena Dunham has been appointed as one of the (many) faces of white feminism. Is this who you want representing you? Is this with whom you place your faith? If so, you really need to take five minutes out of your day to go under a SERIOUS moment of self-reflection.
This woman, admitted in her memoirs, that she would "do what a sexual predator would do" to her younger sister. She admitted IN PRINT that she did UNSPEAKABLE and DISGUSTING things to her from the age of 1-years old to god knows when and ruined her life in the process. But you're going to defend her cause 1) she's white 2) she's comes from generational wealth and privilege 3) she's female. Some things are not worth defending...this is one of them.
I could give two fukks or shyts about all of the pseudo-intellectual women's studies dictionary talk employed all throughout the article...this is NOT worth defending. By doing so...you have lost any respect I've had for this site (which is; NONE). But what can I expect? You white feminists don't see anybody else as human or worth a damn. Rather than be for the rights of all people...you're for the rights and defense of first world white men and women who don't really need any more help or assistance in a society that already gives them the upper hand. Basically, by making Lena Dunham (a beneficiary of nepotism, white privilege, and not hard work and determination) a pariah of sorts for something that would end her life if she didn't have any of those things in her corner is saying that (white) feminism is all about playing the victim card even if you admitted that you are the perp. What do you want to be if this is the case?
Who do you want to be? Cause it's just looking like you're slowly turning into the women's version of the "good ol' boys club".
