Funny, she cares so much she did this.

Lena Dunham is blissfully untroubled by self-awareness. It’s a quality that might be endearing in someone less repulsive. But in a recent interview with Grantland’s Bill Simmons it comes off as the obnoxiousness of a spoiled brat.
Take, for instance, when the 28-year-old, who’s currently flogging her memoir (even Obama had the decency to wait until his early 30s), and much of whose work in “Girls” is at least somewhat autobiographical said, “I never want to become someone where like what’s happening to me becomes the entirety of the reality of the world.”
She was talking to Simmons about the controversy over her memoir, in which she recounted doing creepy things to her baby sister’s vagina, referred to herself as “doing all the things a sexual predator would do,” and detailed a “rape” that may or may not have happened by a campus conservative named Barry who wasn’t really named Barry and didn’t fit the description of anybody who attended Oberlin College with Dunham. The obsequious Simmons called the reaction to her book “a giant backlash/smear campaign/everyone trying to gut everything they can out of whatever …” (Like he guts the English language)
