On this date, in 2012, Lena Dunham gave her first ever television interview to promote her upcoming series, Girls. During the interview, she shocked America by bravely came out as a wealthy, well-connected, white woman with a private school education who had been handed a lucrative development deal with HBO by the age of 23, and wasn't afraid to say that black men who didn't find her attractive were misogynists, or that claims of rape and sexual harassment needed to be taken seriously - except when made by people of color.
