Well that was quick. Lena Dunham has already apologized for not being feminist-woke enough and defending her friend against rape allegations. Of an underage girl.

Here’s her statement:
As feminists, we live and die by our politics, and believing women is the first choice we make every single day when we wake up. Therefore I never thought I would issue a statement publically (sic) supporting someone accused of sexual assault, but I naively believed it was important to share my perspective on my friend’s situation as it has transpired behind the scenes over the last few months. I now understand that it was absolutely the wrong time to come forward with such a statement and I am so sorry. We have been given the gift of powerful voices and by speaking out we were putting our thumb on the scale and it was wrong. We regret this decision with every fiber of our being.
Every woman who comes forward deserves to be heard, fully and completely, and our relationship to the accused should not be part of the calculation anyone makes when examining her case. Every person and every feminist should be required to hear her. Under patriarchy, “I believe you” is essential. Until we are all believed, none of us will be believed. We apologize to any women who have been disappointed.
Pathetic.
This is what happens when you dedicate yourself to “social justice” defined by an unthinking irrational liberal mob. Maybe stick to truth instead, and you won’t have to embarrass yourself by trying to please left-wing emotional idiots.
