Haters vs. Forced Accountability: Gwyneth Paltrow & Lena Dunham Edition
UPDATED: January 11, 2015 Lena Dunham Flounces from Twitter. Dunham is not capable of handling forced accountability regarding her unethical behavior and quits Twitter. As a result she places blame, does not take accountability and insults and demeans calling people who challenge her unethical behavior “neocons.”
But more inconsistent & contradictory language to action as Dunham tweeted just before the red carpet for the Golden Globes tonight. Guess she forgot how she makes her money. Dunham taking pages right out of The Sociopathic Business Model™ is however consistent.
Lena Dunham- a twit who can’t even quit Twitter correctly.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Lena Dunham don’t really have a lot in common. Paltrow is elegant and Dunham is brash but both are “hated” and both delusional about why they’re “hated.”
According to Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter the only way people won’t “hate” Paltrow is if she got fat. Way to feed the old ego there Graydon, who cowered to her threats and scrapped a tell-all “takedown” article about her that wasn’t favorable. People don’t hate Paltrow because she’s thin any more than people do for not liking Dunham because she’s not.
When Paltrow found out about the Vanity Fair piece which she didn’t approve she threatened, intimidated, motivated by fear and lacked behavioral control all to manipulate the situation for her benefit:
“Vanity Fair is threatening to put me on the cover of their magazine. If you are asked for quotes or comments, please decline. Also, I recommend you all never do this magazine again.” Business Insider
Well, that’s inconsistent & contradictory language to action from Paltrow who graced the cover of Vanity Fair at least twice before not to mention countless other magazine covers over her career.

Neither Paltrow nor Dunham are accountable for their actions which is why people dislike them and nothing more. These women are in the entertainment industry and a business in their own rights, Paltrow with Goop, the elitist style website which is now $1 million in debt and Dunham with her HBO show Girls and most recently a book, Not That Kind of Girl where she describes without shame, remorse or guilt, sexually abusing her six-year younger sister.
Lena Dunham describes experimenting sexually with her younger sister Grace, whom she says she attempted to persuade to kiss her using “anything a sexual predator might do.” In one particularly unsettling passage, Dunham experimented with her six-year younger sister’s vagina. “This was within the spectrum of things I did,” she writes.
In the collection of nonfiction personal accounts, Dunham describes using her little sister at times essentially as a sexual outlet, bribing her to kiss her for prolonged periods and even masturbating while she is in the bed beside her. But perhaps the most disturbing is an account she proudly gives of an episode that occurred when she was seven and her sister was one. Here’s the full passage (p. 158-9):
“Do we all have uteruses?” I asked my mother when I was seven.
“Yes,” she told me. “We’re born with them, and with all our eggs, but they start out very small. And they aren’t ready to make babies until we’re older.” I look at my sister, now a slim, tough one-year-old, and at her tiny belly. I imagined her eggs inside her, like the sack of spider eggs in Charlotte’s Web, and her uterus, the size of a thimble.
“Does her vagina look like mine?”
“I guess so,” my mother said. “Just smaller.”
One day, as I sat in our driveway in Long Island playing with blocks and buckets, my curiosity got the best of me. Grace was sitting up, babbling and smiling, and I leaned down between her legs and carefully spread open her vagina. She didn’t resist and when I saw what was inside I shrieked.
My mother came running. “Mama, Mama! Grace has something in there!”
My mother didn’t bother asking why I had opened Grace’s vagina. This was within the spectrum of things I did. She just got on her knees and looked for herself. It quickly became apparent that Grace had stuffed six or seven pebbles in there. My mother removed them patiently while Grace cackled, thrilled that her prank had been a success.
Dunham’s response to the media backlash was typical of what classic abusers does , not recognizing the rights of the victim, trying to manipulate the facts, making it about “right-wing” media and not abuse, which is the topic, and she shows lack of behavioral control with her self-described “Rage Spiral.”
Now Dunham’s attorneys are now threatening to sue and demand an apology from TruthRevolt for re-printing Dunham’s own words which is again inconsistent & contradictory language to action.

Ladies we don’t hate you because of the way you look we “hate” you because you both try and justify unethical and or illegal behavior and feel you’re above accountability. Welcome to the world of #ForcedAccountability.
Lena Dunham Cancels Book Tour Dates
Paltrowing -Elitist woman acting entitled doing whatever she can to save her image. Even if that’s at the expense of her ex-husband’s new romance but all victims eventually face their abusers with facts. Should we expect a “takedown” from Chris Martin?

Yes, lack of accountability is apparent in the Lena Dunham discussion, but there is something heart-wrenching here as well: according to Dr. Drew Pinsky, who I have heard talk about child-on-child sexual abuse, which he always emphasizes is equally devastating and traumatic as any other kind, it only happens when the child abuser himself/herself has been exposed to sexual abuse by an adult.

I don’t doubt what Dr. Pinsky states regarding child-on-child abuse which means she’s unwilling to expose her own demons but willing to exploit her sister’s to sell books. That’s pathological in my book. There’s a certain point that no matter what’s happened to someone in their life they have to take accountability for their own actions as an adult. Child abuse does not give someone the right to be an unrepentant asshole as an adult. If Dunham was abused she’d have gained more sympathy (which is what’s she’s after now #PRSpinUnSpun) by discussing her own abuse. Mental health issues and mental health issues stemming from childhood abuse are very real issues and warrant an honest discussion; and, no Lena Dunham did not help facilitate that discussion.
