I can't say I hate her because I don't know her, but I definitely understand it.
If you look into her background, there's too much not to like. The most obvious example is: She makes very odd, unsettling statements about her younger sister in her book. Example 1 - she states that she used to get turned on by and masturbated with her sister sleeping in the same bed as her, this while she was 17 and her sister was what (don't quote me) 10 or 11? That's just 1 example; there are others that are creepier.
But even on the surface, her feminism comes ofF as very fake, very privileged, very exclusively 'women's rights' as opposed to 'equal rights'. And that is heavily reflected in Girls - the only 'feminist' thing about it is that it stars female leads. And that's it. Is Sex and the City feminist? Not really, no. But it's probably more feminist than Girls, which is literally about privileged adult babies who happen to be female.
