More From Lena Dunham

I don't think there's anything that i would really baulk at doing on-screen. i don't think so. i've got certain pet peeves about writing... my pet peeve about reading scripts is when they give you a line reading and there'll be a line but next to your character's name it'll say 'very angry'. but i'm like: "well, i'll decide that actually!" so, there's little things like that. that's a slight pet peeve.
Reading Character Writing
I consider myself 100 percent a feminist, at odds with the feminist establishment in america. for me the great mission of feminism is to seek the full political and legal equality of women with men. however, i disagree with many of my fellow feminists as an equal opportunity feminist, who believes that feminism should only be interested in equal rights before the law. i utterly oppose special protection for women where i think that a lot of the feminist establishment has drifted in the last 20 years.
Believe Opportunity Men
I am a men's liberationist (or "masculist") when men's liberation is defined as equal opportunity and equal responsibility for both sexes. i am a feminist when feminism favors equal opportunities and responsibilities for both sexes. i oppose both movements when either says our sex is the oppressed sex, therefore, "we deserve rights." that's not gender liberation but gender entitlement. ultimately, i am in favor of neither a women's movement nor a men's movement but a gender transition movement.
Sex Responsibility Opportunity
We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.
Men Rights Forever
Naturally my stories are about women - i'm a woman. i don't know what the term is for men who write mostly about men. i'm not always sure what is meant by "feminist." in the beginning i used to say, well, of course i'm a feminist. but if it means that i follow a kind of feminist theory, or know anything about it, then i'm not. i think i'm a feminist as far as thinking that the experience of women is important. that is really the basis of feminism.
Mean Writing Men
I am the dictionary definition of feminist in that i believe women are equal to men. people sometimes use the word for different meanings and it is important to understand that feminism at its core is really is just believing that everyone is equal and should have the same rights. we are all beautiful women, we are still in the fight for equal pay, and we don't need to fight each other.
