Just a few weeks ago, Refinery29, a fashion and lifestyle website geared toward 20-something women, released an exclusive sit-down interview with Clinton entitled “Clinton’s Message for Millennial Women”.

But this is still Hillary Clinton we’re talking about, so it should come as no surprise that she did a few advocating while she was there. But it doesn’t hurt to have interviewed with one of Hollywood’s most outspoken feminists.
We hope it stays that way – we love having her around!
LennyLetter.com Dunham and Clinton discussed feminism, protests and Clinton’s college days.
Clinton, who grew up in privilege in Chicago, threw a few shade on Arkansas, where she served as First Lady for more than a decade. They have to respect the police, and the police have to respect the community.
Dunham would have preferred a less measured response.
Dunham circled around Clinton with vapid compliments to end the interview, insisting that she was “a fashion icon” and her dress was “extremely chic”.

“Your full identity can’t be in that person”, he warned readers of getting too attached to the baes of their lives.
Pro tip: “Some women do have their periods while exclusively breast-feeding, so be careful about birth control unless you want to have two kids reaaaallly close in age”.
“We trust our readership will let us know when we’ve gone astray”, she says.
