Lena Dunham, the creator and star of HBO’s “Girls,” said this week on Twitter she is against body-shaming other people — unless it’s the president.
“For months I was really against anyone saying anything about Donald Trump’s looks,” the 31-year-old wrote to her 5.6 million Twitter followers. “I was like, ‘That makes us just as bad as him!’ Over that.”
She added, “It’s not OK to body-shame ANYONE but the president.”

There is perhaps no one who better embodies Hollywood hypocrisy and head-in-the-clouds thought better than Dunham.
Before these comments, the outspoken actress had said there was no way “not to politicize” the shooting tragedy in Las Vegas; she had also previously promoted such lunacy as defacing movie posters with guns and having sushi prohibited from school cafeterias because of “cultural appropriation.”

The argument could be made that Dunham has attempted a very bad joke, but this isn’t likely, since the actress who cried the night Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election tries so very hard to be a legitimate voice in the culture and politics.
What good does Dunham think her promotion of body-shaming does? Should people body-shame her and others because they disagree politically? Should there be any exception to the rule of not bullying other people? According to Dunham — yes, there should be.

You’re not against body-shaming if you’re for it when it comes to one person, Ms. Dunham. That’s like someone saying, “Don’t body-shame anyone UNLESS it’s Lena Dunham.”
She is, in fact, in favor of body-shaming, according to her tweets — and has become the embodiment of Hollywood liberal extremism, hypocrisy, and bullying all rolled into one.
