What do Lena Dunham, Barbra Streisand, Jeannie Berlin and Janeane Garafolo have in common?

The question in the post title can be easily answered: they've all played roles where they have romantic/sexual relationships with handsome leading men (in Ms. Berlin's case, I'm referring to the now-forgotten film SHEILA LEVINE IS DEAD AND LIVING IN NEW YORK from 1975, which paired her with Roy Scheider)--and were greeted with sexist putdowns for doing so.

Here's a link to the JEZEBEL on-line article re last night's GIRLS episode about Lena Dunham's brief encounter with Patrick Wilson:
