So I don't add water to my approach to dealing
with diversity issues. I can unpack them and
discuss them appropriately.

To say that the most important component of Lena Dunham's
success is gender is sexist.

Dunham would hope that she is appreciated on the basis
of merit. That is factually and actually why people
watch the show -- they think its good.

Not to mention that minority women laugh at the
first assertion, and say that she's famous because
she comes from a family of NY arthouse royalty,
which gave her a distinct advantage that outweighs
the "disadvantages" of gender.

Same way even young WHITE WOMEN were voting for
Obama in the 2007 primary: many thought that Hilary's
self-righteousness about being a woman was ironic,
given that she wasn't hiding the "Clinton" part
of her name (or legacy).
