The self-appointed leader of white feminism, Lena Dunham, was dragged on Twitter for comments she made about NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. With nothing but her own internal thoughts as her guide, Dunham basically labeled the football star a sexist because he “ignored” her at the Met Gal.

The Girls creator/star published an interview with comedian Amy Schumer on Lenny Letter, Dunham’s online newsletter, to promote Schumer’s book. However, the casual conversation between friends took a turn when they began discussing how uncomfortable they felt at the fashionable Met Gala.

Dunham recalled that she sat next to Beckham and he never spoke to her. She automatically assumed this was because she was not attractive enough for his liking and because she was wearing a tuxedo and not a haute couture gown.

She tells Schumer:

“You and I were literally sitting across from each other at the Met Ball, and it was so surreal to get to do that. I was sitting next to Odell Beckham Jr., and it was so amazing because it was like he looked at me and he determined I was not the shape of a woman by his standards. He was like, ‘That’s a marshmallow. That’s a child. That’s a dog.’ It wasn’t mean—he just seemed confused.

The vibe was very much like, ‘Do I want to fuck it? Is it wearing a…yep, it’s wearing a tuxedo. I’m going to go back to my cell phone.’ It was like we were forced to be together, and he literally was scrolling Instagram rather than have to look at a woman in a bow tie.”

Black Twitter will call Beckham gay in a heartbeat, but they defended him against Dunham’s baseless characterization of him and gave her a justified dragging.

Dunham attempted to clarify her comments, but still ended up looking clueless regarding the issue.

I proudly consider myself a feminist and will always support women’s rights and equality. However, Lena Dunham completely misses the mark here by declaring faux feminist outrage over something that NEVER HAPPENED.

The man simply minded his own business and she took that as sign that he judged her looks and decided she was not hot enough for him to even acknowledge. Any other time, Dunham would condemn a man for sexualizing her in any way.

So what’s the problem?! You know what, I actually don’t care! Lena Dunham just needs to have several seats and stop making up stories in her head and repeating them in public as fact.
