LENA DUNHAM POSTED A NUDE SELFIE OF HERSELF ON INSTAGRAM ONLY TO
HAVE ONE OF HER MALE FOLLOWERS TELL HER THAT SHE WAS NOT
TAKING A PICTURE OF HER BREASTS CORRECTLY.
SHE POSTED THIS PHOTO OF HERSELF AND ONE OF HER FOLLOWERS
SAID, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE BOOZE UP OVER THE ARM
TO ENHANCE THE CLEAVAGE.
GETTING A SMASHED DOWN EFFECT HERE INSTEAD.
YOU'RE STILL CUTE THOUGH.
KISS.
ONE OF LENA'S FOLLOWERS SAID THE SHUTOUTS OF THIS GUY MAN
SPLINTING TAKING NUDES AS A WOMAN WITH BREASTS TO LEAN
ON DUNHAM ON HER OWN INSTAGRAM.
LENA DUNHAM THEN RESPONDED SAYING, THIS GUY SEEMS VERY FUN.
LOVE TO HANG WITH HIM CASUALLY.
THANKS JIA WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT FLOODING MY BOOBS AND HAD
ZERO SKILLS TO COMBAT IT.
THE GUYS A MAKEUP ARTIST.
HE IS IN CHARGE OF MAKING GIRLS LOOK GOOD THAT
IS A TRUE?
YES.
HE IS A FUN MAKEUP ARTIST TO AS WEIRD PHOTOS ON HIS INSTAGRAM OF
HIM NAKED WITH ONE OF THOSE DOUGHNUT RAFTS AND HIS
ASSES OUT AND I DO THINK, I THINK SHE MEANS THAT IF SHE
LOOKED AT HIS INSTAGRAM.
HE SEEMS LIKE HE IS FUN TO HANG OUT WITH CASUALLY.
I THINK
HE WAS JOKING THAT I THINK IT WAS A JOKE.
THERE IS A WAY TO SAY THAT THAT IS ACTUALLY, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO
SQUEEZE YOUR BOOBS UNTIL THEY APPEAR ABOVE.
THAT'S MAKING FUN OF THE IDEA OF WOMEN ON INSTAGRAM ZERO
CRATING THEIR PRESENT AWKWARD SITUATIONS.
THERE'S A WAY TO READ THAT JOE GRANT ALWAYS HAS A PREMISE
I UNDERSTAND THAT
WERE HE IS PAINTING SOME OF THE ASPECTS OF THE WAY
WOMEN'S POST ON INSTAGRAM.
.
HE DIDN'T SEEM LIKE AN ENEMY WHEN I STARTED RESEARCHING
HIS INSTAGRAM.
HE DIDN'T SEE MIKE BEN-AMI TO ME BEFORE DOING RESEARCH.
BUT ANYWAY.
HERE IS MY THING.
I HAD THE MAN'S PLANES I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS
PROBABLY WHAT I'M DOING AT THIS PRESENT TIME.
YOUR INTERRUPTING ME NOW SO IT'S TWOFOLD THAT
ONLY WAS GOING TO SAY IS THAT I THINK FOR BOTH SCENARIOS WITH
LENA DUNHAM TALKING ABOUT HOW SHE POSED AND ADDITIONALLY THE
SKY WHETHER HE WAS BEING A PARODY OR HE WAS ACTUALLY TRYING
TO MAN'S PLANE HOW TO POSE, I THINK IT'S WITH ALL OF THE
IMPLICATIONS THAT WOMEN ARE DOING THIS ARE SUPPOSES FOR
THE MALE GAZE.
HE IS SAYING THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SHOW CLEAVAGE FOR
MEN TO APPRECIATE WHEREAS SHE IS LIKE I AM JUST POSTING A PICTURE
OF MY BODY AND MAY BE INSTAGRAM BOTTLES MODELS ARE DOING IT FOR
THE MALE GAZE OR MAYBE THEY'RE DOING FOR THEMSELVES OR
BECAUSE THEY THINK IT LOOK SEXY.
I GET INTO THIS DEBATE A LOT.
A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WOMEN POSE IN WAYS THEY FEEL IS SEXY
DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE TRYING TO APPEAL TO
MEN, MAYBE THEY ARE DOING IT BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM FELT
SEXY MAYBE THAT IS WHAT SHE WAS DOING IN THIS POSITION.
IT
DOESN'T MATTER HOW UNNECESSARILY SHE CUPPED HER BREASTS.
I WAS PRETTY SURE THEY WERE DOING IT FOR THE MALE NON-GAZE
BUT ANYWAY, THIS GUY APPARENTLY, BASED ON BRETT'S EXHAUSTIVE
RESEARCH ON THIS STORY, TAKES NAKED SELFIES, SO HE
MIGHT'VE ACTUALLY BEEN TRYING TO GIVE HER HELPFUL ADVICE.
HE DOES TAKE NAKED SELFIES.
BUT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER HE TAKES ALL NAKED SELFIES, YOU
DON'T GET TO GO GIVE SOMEBODY ELSE YOU DON'T KNOW ADVICE AND
BE LIKE YOU SHOULD GIVE YOURSELF BETTER CLEAVAGE.
YOU ARE PROJECTING ONTO HIM.
IT'S A VALID DUCK AFFORD THAT
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE BOOBS UP OVER THE ARM TO
ENHANCE THE CLEAVAGE.
I'M NOT PROJECTING, I'M REPEATING THAT
IS A WAY TO SAY THAT, ACTUALLY, WHEN YOU TAKE IN
INSTAGRAM FOR YOUR RESPONSE LOOK OFF INTO THE DISTANCE LIKE THIS.
LIKE SHE IS ACTUALLY DOING IT THAT
I UNDERSTAND YOUR PARITY POINT BUT THEN HE SAYS
YOU'RE STILL CUTE THOUGH WHICH IS JUST SO BELITTLING.
IT COULD ALSO BE READ HIS WAY AND IF WE'RE HAVING THIS
DEBATE, HE IS NOT DOING IT VERY WELL.
BUT I'M JUST SAYING, BENEFIT OF THE DOW HAVING LOOKED AT THIS
GUYS FOR INSTAGRAM, IT SEEMS LIKE HE IS NOT THE ENEMY HERE.
LET'S BROUGHT IN THE STORY A LITTLE BIT.
I THINK IN THIS CASE, I DON'T KNOW IF HE IS TRYING TO BE
A PARITY.
I DON'T THINK HE IS AN ENEMY, I THINK YOU MIGHT JUST BE
MISINFORMED MAYBE ABOUT HOW YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO INTERACT
ONLINE WITH WOMEN IN GENERAL.
TO TAKE IT AWAY JUST FROM LENA DUNHAM SPECIFICALLY, I HAVE IN
INSTAGRAM WHERE ON ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PICTURE I GET COMMENTS
ABOUT HOW I AM POSING INCORRECTLY, HOW I LOOK CUTER
WITH DIFFERENT HAIR, THIS IS SOMETHING WOMEN FACE ON A DAILY
BASIS FOR MEN ARE TELLING THEM HOW THEY NEED TO LOOK TO BE MORE
APPEALING TO MEN AND I THINK THAT'S A HUGE PROBLEM WE FACE
ARE MEN FEEL LIKE IT IS OKAY TO GIVE WOMEN THESE SORTS OF
FEEDBACK OR SOURCES OF CRITICISM.
EVEN IF HE IS BEING A PARITY, HE STILL TROLLING HERE THAT
IS NOT NECESSARILY TRUE THAT HE IS TROLLING.
HE IS NOT TROLLING.
HE COULD POSSIBLY BE NOT TROLLING BECAUSE OF YOU
SATIRIZING THE COMMON ENEMY THAT THEY HAVE OF FOLKS WHO DO
WEIRD CONSORT ITSELF FEES.
ARE STILL CUTE THOUGH?
, THAT
I'M SAYING IS NOT EXACT DOING IT RIGHT BUT HE MIGHT BE A
VICTIM OF KETTLING HERE WHERE WE ARE KETTLING TERRIBLE MISOGYNIST
WITH THIS SEEMINGLY FUN HAPPY BODY POSITIVE MAKEUP ARTIST.
I WILL GIVE YOU THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT THAT MAYBE
THIS GUY IS OF THE ENEMY AND WE CAN'T LUMP THEM IN WITH ALL
MISOGYNIST, BUT THIS STORY
HE IS A NAKED PHOTO WITH A CAT IN FRONT OF HIS JUNK.
A PUSSY IN FRONT OF HIS STUFF.
THIS STORY IS INDICATIVE OF A LARGER MISOGYNISTIC CULTURE,
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO MALE GAZE ON INSTAGRAM.
I HEAR YOU, HANNAH, AND I AM PROBABLY BEING A LITTLE BIT
OF A JERK HERE, BUT ONE, I DON'T GET IS A FEDERAL CASE.
2, I FEEL LIKE LENA DUNHAM DOES EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO
ATTRACT ALL OF THE ENERGY IN THE WORLD ONTO HERSELF.
WHEN MORE OF THAT COMES HER DIRECTION, I SOMEHOW FEEL
LIKE SHE'S NOT REALLY HEARTBROKEN OVER IT THAT
I DON'T NECESSARILY, WHO KNOWS.
I DOUBT SHE IS HEARTBROKEN WHETHER IT WAS A TROLL OR
PARITY.
THAT IT THINK IS THE ISSUE AND I'M WITH YOU, I DON'T AGREE WITH
EVERYTHING SHE SAYS OR DOES IN THE WAY THAT SHE IS CARRYING OUT
HER PERSONAL BRAND, BUT I DO THINK THAT THIS IS A LARGER
PROBLEM.
I ALSO DO GET, I TOTALLY GET THE MASS EFFECT OF
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OVER TIME ACTUALLY DOING TERRIBLE STUFF.
SO WHEN HANNAH MADE THE STORY LARGER, I THINK, YOU'RE RIGHT,
IT HAS MORE RELEVANCE BECAUSE IT'S HAPPENING TO A LOT OF
WOMEN IN MUCH WORSE WAYS, BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR STORY, I
THINK THAT IF YOU TAKE A NAKED SELFIE WITH YOUR BREASTS
THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COMMENT ON YOUR BREASTS.
IS THAT CRAZY?
I DON'T THINK THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
ON THINK IT'S COMMENTING ON THE BRASS I THINK IT'S SAYING
YOU WERE TRYING TO MAKE YOURSELF SEXY AND APPEAL TO SOMEONE ELSE.
I WILL BE COMPLETELY HONEST TO THAT I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES
WERE I WAS NOT CLOSED OR IN LINGERIE AND THAT WAS FOR
ME BECAUSE I FELT SEXY.
I DIDNíT SEND THEM TO MY BOYFRIEND,
SORRY BABE, BUT THEY ARE JUST FOR ME AND I THINK THERE'S
SOME SORT OF ASSUMPTION THAT IF YOU TAKE A PICTURE OF
YOURSELF IN THIS POSITION THAT IT IS FOR SOMEONE ELSE AND
THAT IS WHAT HE WAS COMMENTING ON THAT
IS ON INSTAGRAM.
ITíS NOT FOR YOU, IT'S FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
BUT IT COULD BE FOR YOU TO BE SEXY.
IS STILL IN A WAY THAT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE RELIANT ON
POSITIVE REASSURANCE.
WHY WOULD YOU PUT ANOTHER WITH THE LIKE BUTTON UNDERNEATH THE
INDEPENDENTLY VIEW SOCIAL MEDIA THAT
I KIND OF AGREE WITH BOTH OF YOU BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S
WHY ANTHONY WEINER KEEPS SENDING OUT PICTURES OF HIS JOKE
JUNK BECAUSE HE'S PROUD OF IT.
LOOK AT THIS THING, IT'S REALLY BIG.
LET'S NOT BRING HIS SEX PROBLEM INTO THIS.
GIRALDO RIVERA IS 70 AND HE TOOK A SHIRTLESS PICTURE OF
HIMSELF BECAUSE HE IS A SIXPACK.
IF I WAS 70,
A LITTLE INTERESTING BUT IF I WAS 70 AND I HAD A SIXPACK,
I WOULD HAVE 100 PICTURES ON INSTAGRAM NOT BECAUSE I THOUGHT
IT WAS GOING TO TURN ANYBODY ON BUT BECAUSE I WAS PROUD OF IT.
BODY POSITIVITY FOR THE WIN.
I AGREE WITH YOU, NONETHELESS, BOUND THE OTHER HAND IF I
TOOK A PICTURE OF MY GUT WITHOUT A SHIRT RIGHT NOW THEY PUT
HER ON INSTAGRAM AND THEN PEOPLE COMMENTED ON MY GUT, I
WOULD RIGHTLY, WRONGLY, POSITIVELY, NEGATIVELY, I
WOULD THINK IT WAS THE MOST NORMAL THING THAT I COULD
POSSIBLY EXPECT IDC WHAT I'M SAYING?
I SEE WE ARE SAYING BUT IT'S A SINGULAR INCIDENT BUT WOMEN
DEAL WITH THIS ON A DAILY BASIS.
I THINK THERE ARE BROADER IMPLICATIONS IN
THE STORY.
