She also commented on the current body positivity movement that has grown in popularity in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>The line \u2014<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/11honore.com\/pages\/the-11-honore-shopping-event\">11 Honor\u00e9 x Lena Dunham<\/a> \u2014<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>debuts this week. It is a joint effort between Dunham and <a href=\"https:\/\/11honore.com\/\">11 Honor\u00e9<\/a> , a women\u2019s clothing company that specializes in designer plus-size clothing. The clothing company is based around the idea that women of any size (the line specifically targets women sizes 12 and up) can wear designer brands.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/04\/05\/style\/lena-dunham-body-positivity-11-honore-spanx.html\">The New York Times<\/a> reported that Dunham\u2019s work with the brand \u201cwill be 11 Honor\u00e9\u2019s first celebrity foray, and it is a tightly edited collection of only five items. Dunham said this is because \u201cI\u2019ve totally given up on the idea of being any type of impresario or person who had something to say to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now the only thing I\u2019m doing is speaking about my own experience,\u201d she said. \u201cSo this clothing line is a direct response to my experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dunham has been public about her health journeys throughout the years, including her experience with the coronavirus, which she contracted last March. The New York Times reported, \u201cThough she has recovered, the disease affected her pituitary gland and left her with partial adrenal insufficiency, she said, so she is taking steroids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot the cool kind that make you muscular,\u201d she said. \u201cJust the kind that make your face fat. I\u2019m trying to roll with that. Trying to be chin positive. I can deal with anything, but a triple chin is a hard place to land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She made a point to thank her medical providers and discuss how she is aware that she is privileged with private health care access and the opportunity to work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t mean I haven\u2019t felt a lot of body hatred in lockdown,\u201d she said. However, she said that she is not a fan of some current wording, like \u201cplus\u201d or \u201ccurve\u201d or \u201cbody positive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing that\u2019s complicated about the body positive movement,\u201d she said, \u201cis it can be for the privileged few who have a body that looks the way people want to feel positive. We want curvy bodies that look like Kim Kardashian has been up-sized slightly. We want big beautiful butts and big beautiful breasts and no cellulite and faces that look like you could smack them on to thin women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a big stomach, I always have. That\u2019s where I gain my weight \u2014 especially after early menopause, I have a straight-up gut, like an old man \u2014 and that\u2019s not where anybody wants to see flesh. It\u2019s not like if I posted a sensual nude of myself on Instagram, people would be marveling at my beautiful derri\u00e8re.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s so much judgment around bigger bodies, and I think one of the judgments is that bigger women are stupider,\u201d she continued. \u201cThey eat too much and don\u2019t know how to stop. Thin women must be discerning and able to use their willpower. Bigger women must be limited in their understanding of the world, and they keep doing things that are bad for them. The amount of people who have written to me on my page: \u2018You\u2019re promoting obesity. Don\u2019t you understand you\u2019re killing yourself. Are you stupid? Why are you doing that?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dunham discussed feedback she has received on her style. \u201cThe thing that\u2019s been really interesting is how angry it makes people when you dress like yourself,\u201d Ms. Dunham said. \u201cIt\u2019s not, \u2018Oh, I don\u2019t like that dress.\u2019 It\u2019s, \u2018How dare you?\u2019 And it\u2019s fascinating how much of that comes from other women with bodies that look like mine. It\u2019s not a male gym rat. It\u2019s other women who have been indoctrinated with the same message: \u2018Didn\u2019t you get the memo? We\u2019re all doing this. We\u2019re all going to wear the Spanx.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dunham will not wear Spanx and she said she hardly ever wears a bra. None of the clothing she is putting out with the new line requires a woman to wear a bra with it.<\/p>\n<p>Dunham has another film coming out soon, \u201cSharp Stick,\u201d that she told The New York Times was written last summer as \u201ca meditation on the complexity of, uh, female sexual desire and how it intersects with trauma.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
