girls
by rantywoman
I started watching the television show Girls and find it brilliant. I still fear that older single women have disappeared from our screens again, but nonetheless, Lena Dunham has done a remarkable and compelling job at portraying just how young these young women are.
And they are young. The idea that they should, at 24, realize that no matter how undeveloped they are in the rest of their lives, they are at their height of their romantic appeal and so should immediately seize a guy (and few their age seem to be likely candidates) and lock themselves into marriage and children seems a bit ludicrous. Yet that is still what many people think and how society to a certain extent still operates:

🙂 I’ve been waiting for you to find the show. I also think it is amazing in showing young-ness – even my own young-ness that I had chosen to forget.
Oh it totally reminds me of my twenties! She really nails it.
Hi, I really love your blog. I am contacting you because I’ve written a book entitled Never Marry a Momma’s Boy: and 62 other men to avoid like the plague and I am hoping to get the word out about my new book! You can guess that this book is about types of men that women should steer clear of at all costs. It is a funny and smart read that I’m really proud of! If you would be interested, I would be thrilled to write a guest blog on your site. Please feel free to contact me at susanconner99@gmail.com. Thank you for your time!

You know that is one show I have decided to boycott- it might have interested me in principle , but I am sick to DEATH of how much press Dunham and associated Brooklyn/hipster culture has been getting over it….can’t seem to open a magazine (high or lowbrow) or watch a tv show these days without her aphorisms/opinions/fashion sense somehow getting prime time. May possibly revisit in a few years, when all the hoopla has died down… *grumbles and goes back to watching “Enlightened” episodes* (on a similar note, it took me years to finally watch “Sex and the City” ….)
I thought it would be overrated but I admit, I was immediately hooked.
