Random House: When Lena Dunham Called Barry "Barry," She Meant It As an Alias, Even Though She Didn't Say So
Apologies for "the confusion."
It should be noted that when Dunham referred to an ex-boyfriend earlier in the book, she specifically stated that she would be using a pseudonym to refer to him. She did not provide any such statement with regard to "Barry." Random House is offering to pay for any legal expenses Barry might have incurred in hiring his lawyer in this matter. Nolte sums up some key points:5. We know for a fact that nearly six weeks ago, Dunham herself was aware of the agony her memoir caused Barry One. And yet, rather than exonerate an innocent man she knew was twisting in the wind, she attacked the National Review author who told Barry's story. 6. How did Lena Dunham choose the name Barry? Moreover, no less than five descriptors in Dunham's memoir led who-knows-how-many people to believe Barry One was her rapist: 1) Barry One attended Oberlin at the same time Dunham did. 2) Barry One shares the same first name -- a very uncommon name. 3) Barry One was a campus Republican. 4) Barry One was a prominent campus Republican. 5) Barry One worked at one of the Oberlin campus libraries. The details anyone could easily Google led right to Barry One.I think Lena is going to be sued, and I think she's going to have to pay a large settlement.

It is my understanding that Barry One was going to donate whatever he received above and beyond his legal fees to charity. I think he should donate the monies to a charity that deals with false claims of rapes.

By saying, "Oops, our bad," they're basically just admitting to liability. By saying, "Oh... we'll pay for his lawyer" they're admitting he had good reason to hire a lawyer.

If the 'pseudonym' disclaimer were omitted, she would have said so immediately.
She thought she was being clever, and let him twist in the wind.
It's very possible that she just liked torturing an evil Republican.

There probably wont be any future printings, and the basic injury is already out there in the public square, so that offer is of little value.
Maybe they should just go ahead and offer Barry an ownership position in Random House and get this whole thing over with.

sue and sue big. This false behavior is indefensible, unethical and

Exactly my point earlier today, too.
All details led to this particular guy.
meh, just going to copy/paste
The very weird thing (conspiracy?) about the Dunham story is that "Barry" was a conservative on campus. Someone exactly like that existed, it's just the details were off.
Purposely implicating him and thinking she could get away with it? Meaning someone did the research to find "that guy?"
This is creepy. So very creepy. "Barry" is not a common name. And certainly matching up "Barry" with belonging to a Republican or Conservative campus organization cannot be chance.

That it took this long to get Random House to say "Oh sorry that's a pseudonym" is damning indeed.
If I were Dunham's lawyers? I would tell her to make him sue. If you're going to have to settle anyway, then make him a victim of the Streisand effect.

Because she managed to get that in there. It's not about the name. If he were just "Barry, anonymous student", then she (and Random House) might have a case, as rare as that name is. However, she gave a descriptor that narrowed it easily to one person.
And I don't think she can hide behind the fact that she made other descriptions that were not true (i.e., mustache).
She obviously wanted to get in this passive-aggressive dig at one of the few right-of-center people she encountered at Oberlin. A guy who was undoubtedly a bete noire for the brownshirt lefty crowd.

Given that the little girl in question has in fact blamed criticism of what happened on intolerant people, no, it probably wasn't a pseudonym...
Also, hasn't it been noted by others that Dunham's supposed rapist had enough other details provided (ignoring the name she gave him) to make it possible to know for a fact that the guy never existed?

It's been asserted by some that among the long term social-engineering goals of the institutional left is to render pedophilia normative and uncontroversial.
I found those claims unconvincing when I first heard them. Now? In the wake of Dunham and the non-reaction by the lefty chattering classes to her horrifying actions? I find it a hell of a lot more plausible.

As part of the settlement, they might well make all sorts of damaging statements about Dunham and her willingness to accept fact checking, meaning Dunhams lawyers will start jumping through hoops to avoid a suit directed at her.
Then, for funsies, get Dunham to donate money to a Child Sex Abuse group as part of the settlement.

I was also able to find him and his wife on Facebook. I'm sure that's taken down now. They didn't have much info except a picture of her and their baby. (And, yes, morons, she's hot.)
It was way too easy to find him. I'm really shocked Random House didn't do any due diligence, given the massive advance they gave Dunham.

I think you're right. And it has to do with their "absolute moral authority."
If you're a "victim" then no one is allowed to question you. Look at how questions about the UVA case and this one have been met. Never with facts. Not even (initially) with "hey, it was traumatic, some of the details might be wrong."
No, the response was immediate and vile: "you're a rape apologist!" "You don't think rape is a real issue!"
It's the same with Cindy Sheehan (remember her?). No one could even ask, "don't you think *now* might be an inappropriate time to undermine troop morale?" If they questioned her, or even tried to refute any of her points (d*mn the facts), they were told they had to shut up because of her "absolute moral authority."
Or how non-blacks aren't allowed to have an opinion on race, or slavery, or the vulgarization of black urban culture.
Or how men aren't allowed to have an opinion on abortion.
Or any number of other things.

And rape like in drinking and taking a lot of drugs, stumbling across Barry in a parking lot, inviting him back to her room and fooling around, and maybe thinking she wasn't down with it some time during or after it, and not thinking it was "rape" until she recounted the prior night's events to a friend and decided she kinda hated herself for it.

that is that somehow claiming you were raped gives you some type of
"credit points" in leftist circles.
I think you're right. And it has to do with their "absolute moral authority."
If you're a "victim" then no one is allowed to question you. Look
at how questions about the UVA case and this one have been met. Never
with facts. Not even (initially) with "hey, it was traumatic, some of
the details might be wrong."
No, the response was immediate and vile: "you're a rape apologist!" "You don't think rape is a real issue!"
It's the same with Cindy Sheehan (remember her?). No one could even
ask, "don't you think *now* might be an inappropriate time to undermine
troop morale?" If they questioned her, or even tried to refute any of
her points (d*mn the facts), they were told they had to shut up because
of her "absolute moral authority."
Or how non-blacks aren't allowed to have an opinion on race, or slavery, or the vulgarization of black urban culture.

__________________________
Certainly doesn't appear that she was from her telling of it. She invited "Barry" over to her apartment, they had consensual sex, he took his condom off twice, she didn't like that and asked him to leave, which he did.
The next day she writes in her journal that she and "Barry" "f*cked 69-style, nobody came." She complains to her friends that the sex was rougher than she wanted, and her friends tell her she was raped. She agrees, saying she never consented to be treated so roughly.
That's fine, but did she ever tell her "rapist" that she didn't consent? Or did she just expect him to read her mind? She also writes that before "Barry" came over to her place, he jammed his fingers into her v*gina; she didn't object, because she wasn't sure if she was turned on or not. So apparently Dunham herself isn't sure if she likes the rough stuff, but "Barry" is supposed to know what is going on in Dunham's mind -- and if he doesn't guess correctly, then it's RAPE!

Well his name is already being whispered on some lefty websites as THE rapist so about the only way for him to rebut the charges in a public way is to sue. Which of course puts his name even further into public view but at least he gets to tell his story and deny the accusations.
Given the trend these days of throwing rape charges around without ever going through the legal process, filing a libel suit is pretty much the way that an accusee can defend himself in public.

Being a victim gives moral authority, so pick the best type of victim to be* and go to town with the sympathy, the support, the fame for your courage, and everything else. Again it is moral preening on the cheap, a vanity project.
*Murder victims have the whole not-breathing-and-decomposing- thing going on so no one wants that. Recommended to pick something humiliating that does not leave physical scars so you can have something to blame for all of your other life failure and your lousy personality.

That sums up the entire worldview of the Left: Victims are morally good. Oppressors are morally bad.
This is why the Soviets always complained about Kulaks for decades after they took over, or why the NAZIs kept on blaming the Jews despite all the genocide going on.

She also admitted to "talking dirty" during the encounter even though she really "didn't want" to have sex with him.
Nothing like feminism to confirm the worst stereotypes of women. ("You should know what I'm thinking!")
In my somewhat limited experience, a woman "talking dirty" is issuing commands. In fact, I can't think of "dirty talk" that isn't consent.

There was definitely malice in her story. She may not have meant it to be aimed at that one guy, though, she just wanted white Republicans to be shown in a horrible light (shall we say false light?)
She probably just used that Barry because it is the only Republican she has ever encountered in her circles. Good Lord, why would a Republican even think of going to Oberlin? So her mind said I will use this caricature of a guy I don't know.

No, the big news in the new Field Poll is that Sen. Dianne Feinstein-- who has long been one of the more popular pols in California -- isn't so highly thought of anymore.
Her approval rating sank to an al--time low (for her) of 43 percent. The poll found that 36 percent disapprove of the way she's doing her job and 21 percent have no opinion of...someone who has been in the Senate for 20 years and on the states political scene for four decades. [...]
Feinstein's approval rating is now similar to that of fellow Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer. That's a surprise: As the Fieldsters put it, "Throughout most of her tenure, Boxer has typically received somewhat lower job approval ratings than her Democratic colleague Feinstein. That is no longer the case."
Indeed, Boxers approval rating is actually UP to 44 percent from 39 percent in 2011.
What's up with DiFi? Field Poll director Mark DiCamillo posits that it could be her defense of the National Security Agency surveillance techniques earlier this year in the wake of the Edward Snowden leaks, as Comrade Lochhead has described.

She claimed she was raped. She included a *lot* of details about the accused. Someone (either just to fact-check, or to find a rapist and see him brought to justice) did some digging and figured out who it had to be.
From his end, if I understand properly, a lot of the things she mentions in the book are things that would be included on his resume (his name, plus his attendance at Oberlin in the right time frame, plus leading whatever club that was, and so forth) that anyone who reads the blurb (which is now all over everywhere) would reasonably conclude he was the same Barry- and who wants to hire a rapist?

Absolutely. It's the main problem with our victimization culture. Victim's status is valuable and so there has to be some claim to victimization.
Think about even the ultimate victimization, the root of where it all started. It's based on the fact that one of your ancestors was a slave, at least 4 generations ago. And that's not even necessary.

Posted by: GnuBreed at December 09, 2014 01:50 PM (Cwylc)
The publisher is who produced the book, so they will be the ones on the hook or rather their insurance company will be.
Random House and Lena can then sue each other for negligence and fraud.
This is not unlike the Chris/Taya Kyle suit brought by Jesse Ventura. Ventura claimed that Kyle's book idenitfying him ( anonymously, but then later, Kyle identified Ventura as the celebrity) defamed him by saying he was punched out by Kyle in a bar, attributed comments to Ventura he denies saying, and Ventura contends the episode never happened.
A judge awarded Ventura $1.4 M from Kyle's estate which I understand was actually paid by the insurance company for the book's publishing house. It was later upheld on appeal and Kyle's widow was not granted a new trial.
In this case, no one actually knows for certain what happened. There are no actually corroborating witnesses for or against , the jury(in Minnesota, no less) had to choose who to believe.
Moral of the story? Don't think for a minute that a lying celebrity(exhibit A, Jesse Ventura) won't prevail in a courtroom full of jurors who are star struck. A lawsuit can go either way.

"In Our Time" tells the story of that transformation, as only Brownmiller can. A leading feminist activist and the author of Against Our Will, the book that changed the nation's perception of rape, she now brings the Women's Liberation movement and its passionate history vividly to life.
Here is the colorful cast of characters on whose shoulders we stand--the feminist icons Betty Friedan, Kate Millett, Germaine Greer, and Gloria Steinem, and the lesser known women whose contributions to change were equally profound. And here are the landmark events of the era: the consciousness-raising groups that sprung up in people's living rooms, the mimeographed position papers that first articulated the new thinking, the abortion and rape speak-outs, the daring sit-ins, the underground newspaper collectives, and the inventive lawsuits that all played a role in the most wide-reaching revolution of the twentieth century.
Here as well are Brownmiller's reflections on the feminist utopian vision...
Yep.
She has an agenda.

Susan Kamil of the Dial Press suggested that I write this memoir, and never lost her enthusiasm for it during five years of labor.

Paedophelia is no one's goal. No one serious advocates for it. It has nothing to do with sexual orientation.
I am pretty convinced (I could claim that some have long asserted it) that everyone who needs to demonize teh gheys is doing it out of a deep-seated self-loathing and fear of his/her own innate sexual proclivity.

"Gay Rights" is a euphemism for "Fulfill my need for acceptance and approval of my sodomistic tendencies."
Human beings crave approval. o.o> You and I don't need 'hetero rights' because it's not contrary to God or nature. It is the way we are designed.
Those who run counter to God and nature know it, and their own consciences burn them more than any words from another person, be they the mildest, most loving exhortation to repentance or the vilest slander imaginable.
Thus, the trend of wielding power to coerce approval from others.

In other words, is she saying there's ANOTHER guy at Oberlin who fits this description, and who is a rapist, but that there JUST HAPPENS to be a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT guy, coincidentally named Barry, who ALSO fits that description, but isn't the rapist?
Is she claiming that, for purposes of publication, she JUST HAPPENED to change the name of her rapist to the name of the only other prominent Republican at Oberlin who worked a the library?

The reality is there is a very real subset of the left who wholly opposes sexual stigma associated with any sex act under any condition. I don't know whether it's to tear down nuclear families, destroy perceived power imbalances between the genders, attack any moral absolute in pursuit of universal relativism, or normalize deviant behaviors simply because those behaviors have now reached a biological or behavioral threshold of statistical significance - whatever, the point is they want every stigma (except rape) removed.
The HQ's issue with the gay agenda is it's not about coexisting, it's about imposition and taking away cognitive real estate because the leftist mob deems it un-PC. You can do your thing, and I can say "You're a disgusting fuckup," and you can't make me do your thing, and I can't make you do mine, and you can say "Straight sex is terrible" and we can do and say all these things in a free society and not stop the other from doing them. But it becomes unfree and biased when one can stop the other from doing or saying their side of things, by law or coercion. "So the pendulum swings the other way" - no, past injustice does not qualify new injustice.
So the hate you perceive is not irrational hate but a resistance to the muzzle that says you can shut me up but I can't shut you up even though both of our positions are nothing more than relative constructs based on our respective moral contexts.
This will stop when 1) people of minority sexual status stop seeking special protections and tax dollars, and 2) when people of minority sexual status start policing their own by exiling the shamers (ChikFilA and Mozilla picketers), the criminals (Terry Bean), and their enablers.
But much like Islamists, they're not going to do it. The deck is so grossly stacked in their favor - they're weapons free while the opposition is limited under fatally oppressive ROEs, they have no accountability while small blunders by the opposition destroy careers and lives, they have the favor of the media while their opposition is blasted at every turn - they have so much to gain and so little possibility of loss, they'd be fools to position themselves for an armistice. They're going to ride this out to the bitter end and severely alienate a meaningful portion of the world in the process.

Actually, the argument I saw is simpler than that: rape is a criminal offense. Documents pertaining to a criminal offense are public record. Ergo there should be no *special privilege* for someone accusing someone else of rape to remain anonymous.
And I don't have an argument against that- not one that doesn't boil down to, "but that's mean," which is not a good basis for a judicial system.

I hate public policy changing unless there's a good reason for it. One has been demonstrated; deliberate false acusations and/or accusations made by people who have mental issues.
But what is the opinion of survivors of real attacks? Do they want to be named? Would they go through the whole ugly process knowing that they are now a public figure/

Not criminal, these women are using the media and campus kangaroo courts to falsely accuse
These same lying women all had they names and identities out in the public domain. They need their names known. Otherwise they cannot claim the mantle of Victimhood
However criminal cases are not civil suits. They aren't Doe vs Doe. It's State vs Doe. That's why the alleged victims name is not in the case header.
Furthermore a significant number of these accusers are children and teens. Putting their names in the public domain would discourage reporting. This is especially true in some communities. Many times the accused rapist is a family member and the alleged victim does not have the support of the rest of the family. Especially if the accused rapist is the breadwinner
There is no epidemic of false criminal complaints anymore than there is an epidemic of campus rape.
I don't think the answer is to publish the accusers name. It's to prohibit campus courts from dealing with allegations of serious crime like rape

Most likely, our co conspirator was taken in by a kindly social worker/youth counselor who has convinced the city that the money they dump into these professionals urban youth programs is worthy. To demonstrate that, they have insisted that St.Louis employ said conspirator gainfully so that his self esteem, sense of self worth, work ethic and general well being will be enhanced and nurtured under their supervision and he will someday be a model citizen of the community.
I have a friend who works in this type of works program and she constantly is giving her mini criminals a "new start" I worry for her safety and fear I will get a call someday that she was found face down in some crack house somewhere with a knife in her back and her purse missing. So trust me that the scenario I wrote above goes on thousands of times a day in the big city.
And especially with famous co conspirators. Those rehabilitations are quite the feather in the cap of social revamp warriors like my friend.....
