In the article "Lena Dunham Doesn't Want Victoria's Secret Body." Amanda Hess uses a content of Lena Dunham's interview to assert that today's society discriminates against women by objectifying their bodies. Hess begins the article with a brief review of the interview with Playboy, including the question for Dunham, "If you woke up tomorrow in the body of a Victoria's Secret model, what would you do for the rest of the day?" Lena Dunham gave a rather unexpected response that she would not like it, and would prefer her normal self, because of the burden that would come from other people's interest in her body. Hess further interprets Dunham's response in remarking that "The constant attention over her dimensions would be coded as praise, but it would remain dehumanizing."

Amanda Hess presents this rare point of view on an event of Lena Dunham to open the public view to a different contrast on the issues that characterize the society through such media. Hess uses this perception of Dunham to demonstrate how, in today's society, a female herself being able to control the set-up of the systems that are used to capitalize out bodies is something rare and perhaps more valuable than possessing "the body of a Victoria's Secret model." Hess intends this article toward a general mature audience who is able to understand the concepts and implications of the story and her assertion about sexuality in today's culture.
