Lena Dunham attacked dads on Father’s Day before deleting the tweet.
“You don’t need a father–so many families work so many ways–but if you have one he better werk,” the 31-year-old actress tweeted Sunday, according to the DailyWire. (RELATED: Lena Dunham Majorly Sucks Up To Ex-NYT Editor Jill Abramson)

The comment was condemned on Twitter by Donald Trump Jr. and Ben Shapiro.
“It never ends. Would be great to have just 1 day without the unnecessary SJW commentary. Doubt there was a similar comment on Mother’s Day,” Trump Jr. tweeted.

Dunham later defended the tweet by saying she loves men and “alternative families.”
“@AmandaPresto I love men, I love alternative families and the only thing I hate is people who can’t respect a diversity of family dynamics. Peace,” the “Girls” creator tweeted.
