Lena Dunham has been taken to task in The Guardian 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 nobody’s talking about right now.
