Lena Dunham Takes on 'Misogynistic' Hillary Clinton Haters With Risque Photo of Lil' Kim
The "Girls" star visited Clinton's campaign headquarters today.
— -- Leave it to Lena.
"Girls" actress Lena Dunham posted this photo of herself earlier today on Instagram biting a Hillary Clinton 2016 bumper sticker.
She noted in the caption that she had just gone by Clinton's campaign headquarters in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, the neighborhood she also lives in, and expressed her support for the candidate.
But it was Dunham's next posting where things get more interesting.
Three hours after that initial post, Dunham went back to Instagram and posted a rather risque photo of rapper Lil' Kim, along with an intense rant in the caption saying it's "misogynistic BS" when people accuse women of supporting Hillary Clinton for president just because she's a woman.
"Yes I think it's time for a female president but I'm not part of a witch's cabal that senses ovaries and suddenly MUST VOTE," Dunham wrote, saying that if she would vote for anyone just because she's a woman it would be Lil' Kim.
"So go ahead, argue your political POV but don't insult a woman's intelligence by acting as though she votes exclusively along vaginal party lines," she added.
Here is Dunham's full caption:
"Hey, just a head's up: accusing women of supporting Hillary just because she's female is misogynistic BS -- women are smart enough to make decisions based on a number of factors: policy, track record, campaign strategy. Yes I think it's time for a female president but I'm not part of a witch's cabal that senses ovaries and suddenly MUST VOTE. Plus if I was gonna vote for someone just because she was female it would be this chick, written in on all my ballots always. So go ahead, argue your political POV but don't insult a woman's intelligence by acting as though she votes exclusively along vaginal party lines. As Kim would say 'I'm valedictorian y'all in the audience/And I've got nine hundred and ninety-nine votes, You got nine hundred and ninety-nine notes/You know bitch I'm worldwide.' New Hillary campaign slogan? TGIF!"
Dunham is an avid user of social media and often tackles controversial topics.
