With Lena making it clear that these stories are complete bullshit it wouldn't matter all that much but for the fact that she accused a guy who can easily be identified of rape. A real guy in the real world. Accused of rape. I'm not sure how she got away with having that bit published. The book is listed as "nonfiction." It seems to me this guy, assuming he's innocent, would be able to sue both Lena and the publisher. What kind of feminist falsely accuses someone of rape? This is a rare occurrence that assholes just love to point out as evidence that women are evil whores who lie. Oh, wait. Now I get it. She's being ironic and cool right? Yeah, that must be it. This sums up my reaction. I like complicated ideas and challenging notions, but I don't like the idea that I'm either part of someone else's joke, or being coerced into playing along. Her ideas of art and feminism increasingly feel like practical jokes, which I hate. I wasn't a big Lena fan before, mostly because I don't have HBO and haven't seen much of Girls, but now she's just nothing to me--not melodramatic, just another product I avoid out of disinterest, like canned fruit cocktail in heavy syrup. I know it's there, I don't get get it, and I can't be bothered.

Ugh I was so over her when she thought it was hilarious to joke about dressing up as Bernardo & the women he raped and murdered.
I do have a very dark and dry sense of humor but her sense of humor is just cruel, obnoxious and offensive.

Sometimes it's not about you, kiddo. Your sister's sexuality is an example of this.

Holy hell. I hope she enjoyed being friends with Taylor while it lasted.
Reading the article tortuga posted it seems exceedingly likely that she fabricated the part about molesting her sister, but when the bright side of the situation is that Lena lied to make herself seem like a molester...words fail me.

That'll do, Lena. That'll do.

She's an asshole.
And she would probably be happy to hear me say that, all hipstery and stuff. Long walk, short pier, darlin'.
Was she friends with TSwift? Because I irrationally like/don't mind her now. Fickle, that's me. But Len probably can't undo the stank she manifested in my mind.
And I'm in love with the notion that she is canned fruit cocktail. I can't think of a better hipster, intellectual burn. I'm going to use it as much as possible.

It seems that Lena has appropriated her sister's life and stories and uses them to make herself feel better. That is terrible. I'd have a real problem with that if I were her sister.
Her sister's sexuality has nothing to do with Lena, and for Lena to be proud of it as though it represents her thoughts is so narcissistic.
And the stories about masturbating next to her sister as children? Ugh.
