30-letna avtorica serije Punce, ki se 12. februarja vrača na male zaslone s šesto in hkrati zadnjo sezono, se je uredništvu Glamourja zahvalila tudi zato, ker z naslovne fotografije, na kateri pozira s soigralkami Jemimo Kirke, Zosio Mamet in Allison Williams, ki so veliko bliže hollywoodskemu idealu popolnosti, niso izbrisali njenega celulita.

Na Instagramu je Dunhamova, ki je glasna aktivistka za dostopnost kontracepcije in ohranitev pravice do splava - pred kratkim je veliko prahu dvignila z, milo rečeno, nerodno izjavo v neki radijski oddaji, da si "želi, da bi splavila" -, ob izidu naslovnice zapisala: "V najstniških letih so mi govorili, da sem videti smešno: trebušček, zajčji zobje, kriva kolena ... delala sem se samozavestno, a v resnici me je bilo na smrt strah, nesramni komentarji in sovražnost so me prizadeli."

"S tem telesom si upa na tv"
Dodala je še, da "ni sovražila svojega videza, ampak kulturo, ki ji pravi, naj ga sovraži". Jezi jo to, da ji že vso njeno kariero ljudje na njen videz - tudi v svoji seriji se je pred kamero pogosto slekla - odzivajo z izjavami v slogu "Kako je pogumna", češ, "s tem telesom si upa na tv".

"Danes je to telo na naslovnici revije, ki jo bodo prebrali milijoni žensk, brez fotošopa, moje stegno je na ogled v vsej svoji nepopolnosti. Ni pomembno, ali se strinjate z mojo politiko, vam je moja serija všeč in se strinjate s tem, kar počnem, na moje telo se ne spravljajte. Na nikogaršnjega se ne smete: ne glede na velikost, barvo, spol ali identiteto, dovolj prostora za vse nas je v popularni kulturi," je dodala na koncu in spletnim sovražnikom sporočila še, da se jim v letu 2017 ne bo pustila prestrašiti.

Lena Dunham je bila na udaru tudi zaradi glasne podpore demokratski predsedniški kandidatki Hillary Clinton. Po njenem porazu je Dunhamova izjavila celo, da je zaradi razočaranja dobila izpuščaje in nekaj dni ni mogla vstati iz postelje. A v Kanado se kljub grožnjam med kampanjo ni preselila ...

Okay, here goes: throughout my teens I was told, in no uncertain terms, that I was fucking funny looking. Potbelly, rabbit teeth, knock knees- I could never seem to get it right and it haunted my every move. I posed as the sassy confident one, secretly horrified and hurt by careless comments and hostility. Let's get something straight: I didn't hate what I looked like- I hated the culture that was telling me to hate it. When my career started, some people celebrated my look but always through the lens of "isn't she brave? Isn't it such a bold move to show THAT body on TV?" Then there were the legions of trolls who made high school teasing look like a damned joke with the violent threats they heaped on, the sickening insults that made me ache for teen girls like me who might be reading my comments. Well, today this body is on the cover of a magazine that millions of women will read, without photoshop, my thigh on full imperfect display. Whether you agree with my politics, like my show or connect to what I do, it doesn't matter- my body isn't fair game. No one's is, no matter their size, color, gender identity, and there's a place for us all in popular culture to be recognized as beautiful. Haters are gonna have to get more intellectual and creative with their disses in 2017 because none of us are going to be scared into muumuus by faceless basement dwellers, or cruel blogs, or even our partners and friends. Thank you to the women in Hollywood (and on Instagram!) leading the way, inspiring and normalizing the female form in EVERY form, and thank you to @glamourmag for letting my cellulite do the damn thing on news stands everywhere today ❤️ Love you all.
