“All weekend and yesterday, the internet was arguing over whether it was fair or sane for Truth Revolt to have interpreted behavior described in Lena Dunham’s memoir, Not That Kind of Girl, as the author’s sexual abuse of her younger sister. Dunham responded, her sister Grace responded, writers responded (and responded to criticism for not responding to the passages of the books in question). Dunham canceled promo appearances in Europe (we hear, though, that her rep attributes this to “health issues”) and, according to Truth Revolt, sent the site a cease and desist, threatening to sue if the quotations from her book weren’t removed from the site.
This whole thing is a huge fucking mess.” *

Ok, the Gawker “expert” should know better than to cite Freud of all people to rationalize sexual behavior. The man was a fruitcake and using any of his findings in an argument make it immediately suspect.
