But those probably don’t bother Clinton or Dunham, as they both are huge fans of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, which also released a series of videos on what sexual consent means last week.

Her post, which was shared only one hour ago, has already earned more than 21,000 likes. I mean, you really do just sort of say, ‘Okay, I think I know what it’s gonna be like, but I don’t know for sure.

Currently, the man who allegedly raped Lena Dunham, and by her account hurt two other women, is running free to hurt other women because Dunham refuses to press charges against him. Lenny Letter is a weekly newsletter catered to millennial women, featuring essays, advice and product recommendations. Clinton exclaimed. “It just means we believe women have the same rights as men, politically, culturally, socially, economically, that’s what it means”.

When the 29-year-old asked the democratic presidential candidate if she was a “feminist”, a question on many Lenny Letter readers’ minds, Clinton answered enthusiastically, “Yes, absolutely”.

Clinton’s communications aide Kristina Schake told the site that Clinton wanted to do the interview with Dunham because, “Hillary was drawn to Lena’s unique voice, dynamic talent and strong commitment to women’s rights”.

The segment reportedly also includes comedy sketches filmed at Clinton’s Brooklyn campaign headquarters and an appearance from comedian Amy Schumer.

Kristina added that Lena and Hillary ‘had a strong connection’.
