“selfish, sensual, socially useless"
- ivan turgenev

en passant

* At the expense of: Pretty much every other woman out there!

We do need more women in the media, more women writing about women for women. There is a huge amount of ground waiting to be broken in the industry, and a horrifying number of chauvinistic infrastructures that make that difficult. Dunham is in the absolute least challenging position to enter the industry, however, and using her as a model either of accessibility or of trailblazing has led to a line of rhetoric that diminishes everyone else out there.

Basically: Fuck HuffPo.
