Lena Dunham’s Weird Diet Tips for Feminists

Lena Dunham’s Weird Diet Tips for Feminists

8048536699_70649b12d5_z

Lena Dunham was not happy when she saw that Us Weekly had used a photo of her on their cover, under the headline “Slim Down Diet Tips that Stars are Using.” Why? Because she apparently doesn’t believe that losing weight is necessarily good or bad.  Women should be any size they want to be, and men need to deal with it.  (Lena seems to have an almost pathological need to be naked on camera.)

To combat the Us Weekly cover, she released her own dieting tips for feminists. They are as nutty as you might imagine.  Truth Revolt has some of them:

1. anxiety disorder

2. an election that reveals the true depths of American misogyny

3. constant sweaty dreams of dystopian future

4. watching institutions you love from Planned Parenthood to PBS be threatened by cartoon mustache-twirling villains

5. marching your ass off

6. a quiet rage that replaces need for food with need for revenge

7. worrying ceaselessly about the health and safety of women you know and women you don’t

Good grief.  It must be hard to be a liberal when even weight loss is somehow tied to Donald Trump.
