If conservative white men have a problem with Lena Dunham, she's not to worried about it.
While chatting with Bill Simmons on "The B.S. Report" this week, Dunham addressed the backlash she received over a segment of her memoir, Not That Kind Of Girl, in which she described how at age 7 she "carefully spread open" her 1-year-old sister's vagina.
“I grew up … in a world where the complexity of human sexuality was openly discussed," The "Girls" creator and star told Simmons, adding, “I don’t care what conservative white men think about me, but I do care if anything I write is painful for survivors of sexual abuse, if anything I write is painful for other feminists.”
When the conservative website Truth Revolt called Dunham's actions sexual abuse in October, she immediately took to Twitter to respond to the backlash.

The right wing news story that I molested my little sister isn't just LOL- it's really fucking upsetting and disgusting.

And by the way, if you were a little kid and never looked at another little kid's vagina, well, congrats to you.

Usually this is stuff I can ignore but don't demean sufferers, don't twist my words, back the fuck up bros.

I told a story about being a weird 7 year old. I bet you have some too, old men, that I'd rather not hear. And yes, this is a rage spiral.
