^Not trolling mate. While they may not have outright said "we support Lena's actions and stand behind her", the story is certainly a pro-Dunham spin.
If what she has done falls in the realm of child molestation, which I believe it does, then any piece not explicitly crying out against it is already in very poor taste and defends child molestation. Read that piece again and tell me that it doesn't spin the anti Dunham out cry as "right wing craziness". They have obviously just let Lena put most of the spin on it herself, but they are essentially giving a self admitted child molester her own platform to defend herself openly. Therefore they are "child molestation apologists".
This is not a person accused of something. That person certainly deserves and open forum to defend themselves. This is self admitted stuff. No argument here. The title itself is trying to put a partisan spin on the whole thing. That's basic rhetoric. Their rhetoric is trying to dictate the reader's thoughts to align with those of Dunham.

Next episode of Girls, the episode will all be about child molestation. How each character has molested their siblings, and its okay, they aren't going to prison because they are women. Than some white dude will go to prison for the same thing.
A coordinated review system will praise how brave Lena is to tell her story.

I dislike Lena Dunham as much as the next guy here but she was 7 when she did all that. I doubt you'll score any points by pointing to bad stuff someone did when they were that young.

How was Lena allowed to print that? Where were the gatekeepers? The friends? The editors? How did no one in the process of book proposal to book writing to book editing to book publishing not say “hey. We should probably leave this part out?” Was discernment busy? In the grand life of Lena Dunham, was finding pebbles in her sister’s Love Pocket so important that it just had to be in her memoir?

You know, the irony here is that Dunham is mad about being as she sees it falsely accused of a sex offense based on events she described in a book...a book in which she also accuses a man of a sex offense. I wonder if she will still subscribe to the general feminist belief that false accusations are no big deal?
