Lena Dunham has been taken to task in The Guardian (http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/mar/21/rabidly-sexist-lena-dunham-language-rules-feminists) for using “rabidly sexist” words like the C-word, whore, slut, man-up, bitch and the P-word. But as Lara Zarum argues, “what’s really troubling about the Guardian piece is its assumption that art should play by the same rules as politics. For a show like Girls, that’s a particularly unhelpful notion.” PLUS: Girls is the best show (http://www.wired.com/2016/03/girls-conversation/) nobody’s talking about right now.
