If you had "Odell Beckham Jr." in the pool of what would finally turn everyone on Lena Dunham… well, congratulations, my friend.

We’ve got some bad news for you, guys. Lena Dunham may no longer be America’s sweetheart. We know what you’re thinking: How can this be?
Well, Li’l Lena’s head gotta a little bit too big for her own good. In a recent, nauseatingly cutesy interview with fellow feminist icon Amy Schumer, Dunham describes a standout moment from the Met Gala:

Just let her explain:
My story about him was clearly (to me) about my own insecurities as an average-bodied woman at a table of supermodels & athletes.

It's not an assumption about who he is or an expectation of sexual attention. It's my sense of humor, which has kept me alive for 30 years.
— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) September 2, 2016
And what a fantastic sense of humor it is!
Glad the outrage machine roars on though, right @amyschumer?
— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) September 2, 2016
Must feel weird to be target of the outrage machine for a change, instead of fueling it, huh?
HOW YOU GONNA REFERENCE THE OUTRAGE MACHINE LIKE YOU'RE NOT ONE OF THE LARGEST COGS IN THE ENGINE?!? https://t.co/kpyXT2NoR9

Anyway, guess this is supposed to make everything better:
ps I'll try and dance myself onto @michaelb4jordan if I have the chance, even when I'm a married grandma. I'm a red blooded str8 woman!
— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) September 2, 2016
Needless to say, Lena’s hurt feelings and attempts at damage control didn’t exactly endear her to, well, just about anyone:
Hi I am Lena Dunham my life is so hard don't believe me well listen to this I went to a fancy fundraising gala and it was like not that fun
— Kat Timpf (@KatTimpf) September 2, 2016
Is it possible that Lena Dunham is so fascinated by Lena Dunham that she cannot fathom anyone who may not also be fascinated by Lena Dunham

I would not ignore Lena Dunham if she sat next to me. I would spring up and sprint away at a brisk pace remarkable for a man of my girth.

"Men, it's not your right to talk to women!" – Lena Dunham
"OBJ is a sexist for not hitting on me." – Lena Dunham also as well

So white feminist Lena Dunham is upset that Odell Beckham ignored her. But he acknowledged her, she would cry "rape" https://t.co/MfLpdSBcnV

The only people who think they get to decide on what other people find sexually attractive are Lena Dunham and Westboro Baptists.

Lena Dunham: "Women dont need men to talk to them."
*OBJ sits next to her and ignores her*
"Oh my gawd, pay attention to me you sexist"— Tyler Koch (@tylerkoch23) September 3, 2016
Lena Dunham is feeling victimized about an imaginary conversation she had in her head with a man who was simply minding his own business.

No, girl. You vilified him. That story was less about how you felt and more about how YOU think HE felt about YOU. https://t.co/QabaxJ8Dmj

In the Lena Dunham School of Male Etiquette, if you hit on a woman you're a rapist, but if you don't you're a sexist. Any questions?

Dear Lena Dunham,
I too once cried when a boy didn't think I was pretty.
I was 12.
Good chat.
