Lena Dunham is on Amy Schumer's side.
When the Trainwreck actress took to the Internet Tuesday to question her inclusion in a special edition issue of Glamour, which seemed to focus on plus size celebrities, including Sports Illustrated covergirl Ashley Graham and comedian Melissa McCarthy.
"I think there's nothing wrong with being plus size. Beautiful healthy women. Plus size is considered size 16 in America. I go between a size 6 and an 8. @glamourmag put me in their plus size only issue without asking or letting me know and it doesn't feel right to me," she wrote on Instagram. "Young girls seeing my body type thinking that is plus size? What are your thoughts? Mine are not cool glamour not glamourous."
Schumer's digital comments sparked a new plus size debate around categorizing women, how those categories are determined and who sets them. The magazine responded promptly, telling E! News there was no intention to offend.
"First off, we love Amy, and our readers do too—which is why we featured her on the cover of Glamour last year," the statement read. "The cover line on this special edition—which is aimed at women size 12 and up—simply says 'Women Who Inspire Us,' since we believe her passionate and vocal message of body positivity IS inspiring, as is the message of the many other women, of all sizes, featured. The edition did not describe her as plus-size. We are sorry if we offended her in any way."
Schumer added more fuel to the debate, tweeting "Bottom line seems to be we are done with these unnecessary labels which seem to be reserved for women.
Dunham, who has featured the actress on her acclaimed HBO series, Girls, took a moment to elaborate on her friend's logic.
"I think what Amy was really saying was just like let's remove the labels and she was just saying like why do you have to categorize our bodies even if it's in the context of 'Let's celebrate these women who are different,' because the fact is every [magazine] issue should be an issue that contains a multitude of bodies and a multitude of races and a multitude of gender identities," she told E! News at the Hollywood Reporter 35 Most Powerful People in Media Event.
"Women—people should be able to recognize themselves in the media that they watch," she concluded.
