      @rgay You reviewed @lenadunham's book as "engaging" - does that include sexually abusing her sister? Pg. 158-159. Go read it!

      @PennyDreadful81 @lenadunham I did read the book. I didn't read the incident as abuse. I understand why others did.

          @rgay How is that NOT child sexual abuse? She's digging around in her sister's vagina? Are you kidding? @lenadunham

          @PennyDreadful81 @lenadunham As a survivor I feel comfortable with how I identify abuse. You have a different measure as is your right.

          @rgay Unbelievable. Not to mention disgusting that you'd defend @lenadunham.

          @rgay I couldn't care less if you share my opinion or not but playing what @lenadunham said off as if it's nothing is disturbing.

          @rgay No, I'm not. You said yourself you didn't read it as abuse. True or false? I can pull up the original tweet if you like. @lenadunham

          .@PennyDreadful81 @lenadunham not considering something abuse isn't brushing it off as nothing. You filled in that gap on your own.

        @rgay Not to mention @lenadunham admitted to "doing anything a sexual predator might do" to get her sister to kiss her. WTF?!?
