"    Photo: via Instagram Last night, Lena Dunham took to Twitter to discuss her views on &amp;quot;good&amp;quot; vs. &amp;quot;bad&amp;quot; feminism. It was a classic Dunham Twitter rant, encompassing everyone from R. Kelly to Beyonc\u00E9 to Terry Richardson. Seems like Dunham grapples with the whole can-you-enjoy-art-made-by-bad-people problem just like we do.    The debate about good and bad feminism makes me want to take a nap for a year \u2014 Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) December 18, 2013    The Girls creator never fails to grab our attention in 140 characters or less, but last night&amp;#039;s outpouring was particularly perfect in that imperfect way that makes the actress so lovable. We take you through the eleven-tweet saga below: Related: Lena Dunham Talks Style Blunders at Bergdorf Goodman She begins with R. Kelly, whose gross &amp;quot;alleged&amp;quot; sexual misdeeds have been brought to light again following a graphic Village Voice story:    Nothing pains me more than when something like the R. Kelly convo comes to light and women turn on each other. \u2014 Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) December 18, 2013    She notes that she&amp;#039;s not trying to lecture anyone, because feminist issues are very personal (which is spot-on):    I never want to be didactic on twitter. I want to recognize how freaking complex it is to be female right now, aka VERY \u2014 Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) December 18, 2013    And who wants to be debating this, with all of the holiday-related things that still need to be done?    Believe me, I&amp;#039;d like to tweet about something besides all of this too \u2014 Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) December 18, 2013       Like all the wrapping paper I bought today and the ADHESIVE CHRISTMAS DOODADS for the tops of boxes \u2014 Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) December 18, 2013    And of course, a Bey reference is always relevant/necessary:    Every tweet is a tweet about Beyonce RT @notbrendan: do a tweet about beyonce lena \u2014 Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) December 18, 2013    But, back to R. Kelly:    Anyone who thinks I was saying anything but that R. Kelly is a sickening criminal is reading selectively \u2014 Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) December 19, 2013    And yes, she knows that working with Terry Richardson is a bit controversial from a feminist perspective (she&amp;#039;s responding to this piece by Slate here). [Ed. note: It&amp;#039;s worth noting that Dunham&amp;#039;s close friend Audrey Gelman dates Richardson.]    Someone implied my statement about R Kelly was invalid because I&amp;#039;ve had my photograph taken by Terry Richardson \u2014 Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) December 19, 2013       I responded asking that my feminism not be picked apart because of one PR experience. You don&amp;#039;t learn to say no overnight. \u2014 Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) December 19, 2013       Any man who takes advantage of any woman sickens me. That&amp;#039;s all and that&amp;#039;s always. No debate. \u2014 Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) December 19, 2013    &amp;quot;...And to all, a good night.&amp;quot;    I am not immune to pressures. Learning every day. Have a beautiful holiday. I know I need it. \u2014 Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) December 19, 2013    As usual, the &amp;quot;voice of a generation&amp;quot; manages to sum up our sentiments in a way that nobody else ever could. While the allegations against R. Kelly are still just allegations, the point is that this is the kind of situation that should inspire women to be unified, not the opposite.
