Lena Lunacy: Dunham calls for “extinction of white men” [VIDEO]

Published November 4, 2016 2:50pm ET



Lena Dunham has a lot riding on 2016. Not only has she promised to move to Canada if Donald Trump is elected president but also released a video with her father on Thursday celebrating the end of white men.

“How are you feeling about the extinction of white men?” Dunham asked her father in the video.

“Well, white men are a problem,” her dad, Carroll Dunham, replied. “Straight white men are a big problem; that’s for sure. I actually feel really good about it. Straight white guys have been screwing things up for long enough. High time for straight white males to step back and let some other people do it.”

Dunham is overjoyed by her father’s response, saying enthusiastically “that’s my dad.”

The star and creator of HBO’s Girls has a long history of attacking men for their skin color; she infamously talked about Odell Beckham Jr. ignoring her and was criticized for using stereotypes to describe black men.

She’s taking it one step further this time by celebrating the end of white men and her father saying they’ve been screwing things up for a long time.

Was Carroll Dunham talking about Judd Apatow, the straight white man who’s producing his daughter’s show? Or was he thinking of Richard Plepler, the CEO of HBO, the executive who distributes her show? Perhaps he was taking it way back and blaming the man who created television, Philo Farnsworth, which is the platform that gave Lena her fame and fortune?

Were they all doing it wrong? Or was it the seven straight white men who ruled in favor of the abortion rights that Dunham loves so much in Roe v. Wade. Maybe Carroll was talking about Ian Frazer, a straight white guy who invented the HPV vaccine protecting billions of women from cervical cancer? Could be that he was actually talking about Gregory Goodwin Pincus, the straight white man who invented oral contraception that granted countless women sexual freedom?

Of course, Mr. Dunham is not talking about any of these people, he and Lena aren’t smart enough to know who most of these people even are.

Social justice warriors like this father-daughter pair are fighting against the mythological phantom menace of the white patriarchy that only exists in their mind, the media, and on college campuses.

There’s a reason Dunham, in a single breath, can celebrate the end of white men and say she’s moving to Canada if Trump is elected president, and not North Korea, China, Venezuela, South Africa, or Saudi Arabia.

If Dunham really wanted to have a world where white men had a minority opinion, made up a smaller role in the government, and made up a small fraction of the population — she’d have plenty of options. They make up a minority of the population in most countries, but none of the ones Lena wants to flee to if Trump wins the White House.

Ironically, 14 out of the 15 best countries for women, according to U.S. News and World Report, are all ones with a majority white population, and white men dominate their parliaments. Japan is the sole exception to Europe, America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

So while it’s easy for third-wave feminists like Dunham to create a fictional world where the white patriarchy is victimizing women, she knows it isn’t true. That’s why she’d much rather move to Canada if Trump becomes president than Cambodia.
