As it turns out, Lena Dunham is "that kind of girl"—the kind who fights back, that is.
In the actress' recently published memoir, Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's "Learned," Dunham recounted being raped by a Republican Oberlin student nearly a decade ago. One blog investigated the author's claims, and other outlets and online commenters questioned whether Dunham was being truthful. Recently, another Oberlin alum said he'd been mistaken for her attacker.
In a BuzzFeed essay published Tuesday, Dunham reiterated that she used a pseudonym for her rapist. She apologized to the Oberlin alum of the same name, and she asked for people to be more empathetic. "Speaking out was never about exposing the man who assaulted me," the actress wrote. "Rather, it was about exposing my shame, letting it dry out in the sun. I did not wish to be contacted by him or to open a criminal investigation. I am in a loving and peaceful place in my life and I am not willing to sacrifice any more of it for this person I do not know, aside from one night I will never forget. That is my choice."
As I understand it, not from having read the book (nor ever will) but from someone on TV, Dunham identified her attacker not only by name but by 4 other points, all of which fit the Barry in question. She's a lying biatch and is desperately trying to dig herself out of a self-created hole.
"I was afraid other potential partners would consider me damaged goods." There are "other potential partners"? Seriously?

Calling Sandra Fluke!
Please report to this lonely kindred spirit, Lena Dunham.
