Lena Dunham, writer and creator of the popular HBO series Girls, joined the #YesAllWomen conversation this past weekend to voice her own experiences and thoughts related to the Santa Barbara shooting which happened last Friday and left six people dead.

The actress and writer went on Twitter to explain that she, too, has been a victim of male harassment tweeting:

"In high school a very disturbed boy told me if I didn't choose to love him he would make me, followed by a series of graphic threats."

Luckily for Dunham, the school reportedly dealt with the issue quickly and never questioned her about how she had "provoked" the boy into speaking to her in such a way.

Dunham's contribution to the conversation is only one of many as the #YesAllWomen social media campaign took off this past weekend when it was discovered that the Santa Barbara shooter, Elliot Rodger, left behind a video and manifesto detailing how he would carry out retribution on all the women who had rejected him.

The purpose of the #YesAllWomen campaign is to combat sexism and highlight how many women live in constant fear of harassment and mistreatment at the hands of men.

The 28-year-old director did receive some slack over her mentioning Elliot Rodger's name in a tweet, but she responded in kind to the Twitter user who called her out, stating that publicity wasn't the issue but rather the terror the shooting inspired in women around the globe.

Dunham isn't the only celebrity to join the #YesAllWomen campaign, famous stars, both male and female, have joined the online conversation to give voice to ongoing concerns women face every day.

Dunham's younger sister, Grace, even taped a roman numeral '9' to the top of her graduation cap this weekend as a symbolic gesture of support calling for organizations everywhere to do better in supporting victims of sexual assault.
