Lena Dunham Supports the Extinction of Straight White Men - Where's the Outcry?
https://twitter.com/lenadunham/status/793929098926166016/video/1
Lena Dunham, a well known media figure with 5.18 million Twitter followers, releases a video that promotes the mass extinction of straight white men.
I have not seen giant headlines made about this.
Imagine if a person with an equal amount of followers and media exposure were to promote the mass destruction of blacks, women, gays, or a combination of the three? Imagine the outcry. The headlines. The riots.
Of course, I don't think for a moment that she's being serious, I doubt she'd be ready to kill her own father in the name of this twisted ideology, but then again it's worth nothing that "I was joking" is never a good enough explanation when one makes controversial statements about non-white straight male groups.
The S.C.U.M. manifesto is sold in most major book chains.... STILL!
And men are thrown off the air for saying that women might aught to be aware of their surroundings late at night.
Lena Dunham is a comedian. Even people like John Oliver and all the other late night comedy news shows. It's not like any person can't have an opinion, but I think we allow the voice of a celebrity to have more power than others for some reason. When I hear an offensive joke, I try to forget the specific words use and try to understand the message overall.
If any politician or anyone that matter'd said what she does half the time, they would be kicked out of office, or President lol.

Her main problem is that she isn’t an attractive woman. That’s too bad because she’s a fun person. Well oh well, this problem is as old as the world and just as unfair. Should she be born pretty, she’d and be a subject of admiration of white men, she wouldn’t want them to evolve. 😉
This is what it comes down to, isn't it? It's just rarely said out loud. Attractive women actively benefit from a patriarchy, so they support it more often then unattractive women, who can feel powerless in a patriarchy.
Not to say there aren't attractive feminists and unattractive anti-feminists, but still. Most of the notorious feminists are unattractive.
Well, let’s not bent the stick too much in one direction. Patriarchate taken to the extreme is a bad thing. A woman shouldn’t be beaten, stoned or blamed in being evil. They should be given equal voting rights and equal pay if they want to work. Stuff like that. But now it is getting bent in another way. Men are afraid to come close to women and say anything in fear of being blamed for sexual harassment or date rape. Women can literally say anything against a white man, anything at all and it would be considered “spunky.” That’s not right.
Women should also understand that white men or men, in general, are not very nice to each other as well. They are in competition at the workplace. Thus, once a woman competes with them for the work spot, she stops being a woman and becomes a competitor, and the shit she has to put up with at the work place is just a proof that she’s treated as equal.
Women shouldn't be beaten or stoned - but no one should.
