Judd Apatow’s HBO hit Girls is in its final season, and the show is far more than a millennial version of Sex and the City.
The male characters challenge the toxic, hyper-masculine versions of men and dads that the Good Men Project aim to talk, write, and have conversations about. And the female characters are modern and full-dimensional enough to challenge the watching habits of the most reluctant of male viewers.
Girls has the conversation that most men and women aren’t having about sex, identity, men’s roles, love, marriage, feminism, and life in the 21st century.

I think I actually stopped watching in the second season because it felt uncomfortably relatable… like reliving every awkward and naive moment of one’s twenties.
I find Dunham to be a repugnant person.
So that’s a hard pass from me.

Well hello George Orwell.
Why don’t you skip the Newspeak and just be honest, thusly:
We’re looking for essays about this show that think it’s as wonderful as we do. Contrarians need not apply.
Another prog here, disgusted by the dishonesty and hypocrisy of my own tribe.
