If she didn’t make an ass of herself by lying about being raped by a “campus Republican” and openly writing about doing weird things with her younger sister, she wouldn’t have to worry about Twitter.

Her HBO hit Girls is all about millennial life, but creator Lena Dunham says she’s cut back on a Generation Y staple – Twitter.
“I deleted Twitter because I’m trying to create a safer space for myself emotionally,” the actress (in Zac Posen, her one-time babysitter) told Ryan Seacrest on E!’s Golden Globes red carpet show Sunday. She called the popular social media outlet “the dark side of the Internet.”
While she still has her account (@lenadunham), the Not that Kind of Girl author, who is attending the awards show with pal and costar Andrew Rannells, said she limits her use.
“People threaten my life and tell me what a cow I am, so I check it occasionally, but it’s not the same co-dependence with Twitter I once shared.
“There’s a lot of people I love on Twitter, but unfortunately you can’t read those without reading deranged neocons telling you you should be buried under a pile of rocks.”
