Coasting through life with the emotional maturity and financial acumen of a 14-year-old, and the aesthetic tastes and musculoskeletal health of a 76-year-old.

"The whole “men initiate, women wait around” plan is bullshit. Newsflash: men who are shy, insecure, or afraid of rejection exist. They are not bad people. Many of them make awesome boyfriends. It’s also fucked to tell women that their sole recourse, if they want to date a dude, is to look pretty in his general direction. Instead of taking away women’s power and making men fit a role that they may not be comfortable with, why don’t we let people who like initiating initiate and people who don’t like initiating not initiate?"

Wait, wait, so former So You Think You Can Dance contestants Evan Kasprzak and Alex Wong are both in Newsies on Broadway?!

My heart just grew three sizes. I’ve never been so happy for people I’ve never met.

"But how much of a dick do you have to be to be replaced? I, for one, have never met Harmon, but even he’s referred to himself as a ‘selfish baby and a rude asshole,’ so, yeah. Hollywood is full of self-involved jerks, but not all of them are as brilliant as Harmon. Very few, actually. (It’s worth mentioning that if the exact same actions were done by the showrunner of, say, ‘Two and a Half Men,’ we’d be a lot less sympathetic to their cause. In fact, we’d probably endlessly lampoon them and call them a monster, but because Harmon’s ‘one of us’ and a guy who’s created one of best sitcoms of the past 20 years, he’s become exempt for his actions. I’d call it unfair, but I’ve been doing it, too. We’re the real monsters.)"

I’m glad someone brought this up. I’m not saying this excuses Harmon’s firing or the way in which it was done, but I think it’s a valid point, and I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking about it.

The Loves of Lena Dunham (The New York Review of Books)

In the face of such vast possibility, to think of one’s romantic life as a game of numbers and animal pleasures, on the one hand, or as one long search for a spouse, on the other, is to miss the point. We can only justify our freedom by giving full attention to the human relationships formed by sex, even if those relationships are brief or strange. We would like our movies and television shows, the ones that devote themselves to matters of love and sex, to give their full attention to these relationships too. ’Girls’ seems poised to do exactly that.

Really, really good article by Elaine Blair about the ways sex and relationships are portrayed on Girls and in Lena Dunham’s other work. This completely nails what I love about the show and about Lena Dunham’s persona and voice in general.
