as maybe your one gen z reader i have to say that i adore lena dunham and girls, feel ambivalent towards hilary and never particularly warmed to amy schumer. i get the conflation though. these three very different women were all amalgamated in the 2010s to represent Bad White Woman guilty of not being conventionally attractive. it's a shame though because HBO girls is brilliant and misunderstood because audiences can't tell when women are joking and assume all female writers are just publishing diary entries
Loved Girls, too. It was/is brilliant in every way. (Haven't watched it since it first ran, assume it still holds.) The absurd backlash to Girls/ Dunham, was, it's clear now, a preview of the then future wokepocalypse we are all still subsumed in. Girls forever!
as a 2016 bernie supporter i think i’m meant to have sworn an eternal blood oath against her but this is so strange and cringey that for me it’s looped around to being very cute and charming
The movie is actually an allegory of her relationship with Bill Ken. Don maybe a Ken too (because it's 2016), while Gloria (America Ferrera) is her loving voter.

Lol. Funny because it's true.
Clever comment by HC. She's looking ever more impressive in hindsight!
