Despite massive critical acclaim and breaking box office records in the horror genre, not everyone was impressed by A Quiet Place and its seemingly far right nazi conservative agenda.


Lena Dunham has officially spoken out against the film, in which Emily Blunt plays a brainless vessel for fetus incubation, and John Krasinski plays the bearded caveman who knocks her up in a post-apocalyptic world where giant monsters with cochleas for heads kill anything that farts.


So it was no surprise that the film's plea for women to keep their crying babies as a homing beacon for any monster in a five mile radius was deemed incredibly offensive to advocates for women's rights. And with Lena Dunham being one of them, who encompasses the never before seen experiences of white women living in New York City with her show Girls, she was particularly furious about a fictional character's personal choices with her body, stating, "I for one would love an abortion in an apocalyptic world. Serve it up to me on a silver platter with a side of fries! I'm only joking, it doesn't have to make sense to be a sense of humor! But honestly, I'd welcome the opportunity to get pregnant just so I can educate the mother in this movie on why it's called A Quiet Place, not A Rugrat Place, perhaps with a little fetus deletus 101? Just kidding. But not really. I'm kidding! But also not in the slightest. I've got a kooky sense of humor, don't I? I'm Jewish."


A paparazzi got the quote from Dunham while she was picking the lock outside Adam Driver's L.A. apartment, continuing to express her complete distaste for the messages the film was spreading to young viewers. "It's completely irresponsible, teaching young girls that if they want a new kid to replace the last one that got eaten alive, they should just have the right to have it? Doesn't sound very feminist to me."


After cramming a spec script for a Girls spinoff called 3 Girls & 1 Asian, Satisfied? into Adam Driver's mailbox, she stated that despite the obvious pro-life propaganda within the film, she was pleased that "only men died in the film, including that dumb infant in the beginning waving his toy rocket male privilege." Looks like Lena Dunham sees through the conservative brainwashing of today's Hollywood, continuing to be a positive inspiration for women everywhere to take pride in aborting their dumb, loud, fetuses.
