This scene maybe above all others shows how Lena Duham is a True Artist... true artists can't help but tell the truth, here she fully embodies in Mimi Rose both the bloodless Abortion As Healthcare ideal, the type of woman who could terminate a pregnancy and not feel anything, and despite what Dunham's conscious beliefs about abortion may be (she is on the record as supporting the woman in this scene and is fervently pro-choice), she told the Truth, whether she wanted to or not, and as such you see this type of woman as the monster she is... rounding out the artistry of the scene, she was able to empathize (true empathy, as in modeling another human's interior life, not the libtard 'feeling sorry for X group' kind of empathy) with Adam Driver's character as a man who would be genuinely wounded and horrified by this behavior, who would disagree with it with everything he had, and as such you intuit the Truth that he's right and she's wrong, that he correctly recognizes her behavior as monstrous and disgusting and acts accordingly when confronted with genuine evil You rarely you get the "Adam POV," in media... there's plenty of Shout Your Abortion tv/film out there and the creators will often depict the struggle of the woman with abortion, but it's typically along the lines of "grappling with doing what she wants/needs in the face of a society who wants to make her decisions for her," not struggling with the moral weight of abortion... many creators are on record as having designed abortion media with the specific intention in mind of "destigmatizing" abortion (the currently-famous-again Lindy West for example, who co-founded Shout Your Abortion)... and if there *is* a pro-life character, they're often thinly drawn, depicted as people who want to control women more than they want to save babies or even care about children. But here, Lena really does an incredible job making a pro-life (such that he is) character seem complex and sympathetic, in spite of what she herself might believe... true artistry! <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/TheRoyalSerf/status/2046011351580233788" color="blue">x.com/TheRoyalSerf/s…</a>
