“What we needed to raise in others was this instinct. The ability to recognize, in an instant, right from wrong. The clarity of mind to face it rather than ignore it.

“ I mean, you have the correct attitude. I think so many people don’t understand what the meaning of consent is. It’s not like you start kissing and suddenly you’ve signed an implicit agreement to do everything in the world. If you’re in the middle of having sex and someone suddenly becomes forceful with you and makes you do things that you don’t want to do, that is an act of sexual assault— whether you started having intercourse with them or not. And I think so many women go, 'But I put myself in this situation, but I opened myself to this person, and everything that happened is something I asked for.' And that is a very dangerous mythology that we have to break down.”
— Lena Dunham, Howard Stern Comes Again

This was an essay I was very anxious and self- conscious about putting in the book, because we are in a current culture where everything is turned into a game of telephone and it turns into a headline and, you know, a pull quote and not a fully formed story. But we’re living in a moment where campus assault is an epidemic. And the amount of young women who don’t feel safe on their own college campuses and are violated by people that they know and then blame themselves because they’re indulging in typical college behaviors, like drinking—so many of these young women are speaking out, and it gave me the strength to talk about something that I’ve been through that had been very challenging to make peace with.”

“Alcohol is still one of the number-one killers in the world. Drunk driving and, 'I killed him ’cause I was drunk. I raped her ’cause I was drunk.' You don’t never hear nobody saying, 'I killed them ’cause I was high on weed.'””
