Not all women end up in the centerfold or the main magazines. A few smart ones make a career out of it. But 80% get burnt out and end up with pills and serious life issues assimilating into regular jobs. People like dicaprio, charlie sheen go to the grotto and get fed 25 to 50 women on one trip. That is definitely progress in the 21st century
The idea of quick money and paying off school definitely draws these women out but at what price?
I have been a loyal fan of the magazines in the 90s myself. Spent a lot of me-time slapping the ham but as soon as I hit the 20s I was out of it.
RIP Hef.

Omg he was NOT a feminist, that’s for certain. Misogynist, sure.
*kitten*.
His mode of feminism was outdated by NOW, for sure. Most of his ideals about sexual liberation are hardly controversial now, except among the puritanical right. But he was unquestionably a feminist. He stood up for womens' rights, empowerment, and sexual liberation at a time when women were expected to shut up, stay in the kitchen, take care of the kids, and take a good beating from their husbands now and again. He put women in positions of power in his company at a time when it was unheard of. He also published important articles on race, civil rights, and LGBTQ rights.
Yes, he had trouble keeping up with the times the last decade or so. Progressivism evolved beyond him, he could have done better in more recent times. But to deny the contributions he made, the revolution he fueled, is foolish.
yes, the old white rich man did some positive things for women's rights, if you ignore the misogynistic treatment of them overall by him and his company.
but please, let's certainly give him all the credit in the world. /sarcasm6 -

Without Hef, Cosby would have had to find somewhere else to cheat on his wife and roofie women.1 -

life is full of trade-offs, it damn sure is.
I reckon that a lil' misogyny helped me thru my teenage years. *shrug
When I was in college, I knew a few of Hugh's crew.
Believe me, they loved the attention.... the experience made me think: who was working whom?3 -

A friend of mine commented on Facebook that Hugh Hefner is going to be buried in the back of your dad's sock drawer.
Playboy's "Girls of the Big East" issue came out when I was in college. My roommate (who was much more bunny material than I was) was selected to be included in the pictorial, but ended up not going forward with it.
There was one professor at my school who did have a striking resemblance to Hef. At the end of each semester, following the final exam, he would host "The Bio Answer Show" (featuring the answers to all the exam questions) on the campus tv station. One year a friend of mine was producing the show and asked me and another friend to appear with the professor...with him dressed as Hugh Hefner and us as his bunnies. I am convinced that should I ever run for office, the long lost footage of this show will somehow reappear.

People are just human. They can do good and contribute to other not so good things at the same time. We can like some things they do, and personally reject other aspects as something we would do or include in our own lives. So, I see good in what Hugh did, and also negative aspects as well. But, he's only human. Like us all. We can all make our own choices. But, the conversation about it is interesting. It's always good to see people living past 90 these days, though.1

The guy made money in one of the easiest markets. He wasn't known for anything else, so I am not sure why so many people mention it.3

A true feminist icon! Activist, artist, innovator, visionary. Part Gandhi, part Wollstonecraft, part da Vinci, part soulless, exploitative troll. So much greatness in one man -- nay -- GOD. A piece of *kitten* with many sides, many sides.

Sometimes it is. I do know someone that is friends with one of his previous girlfriends. She said it wasn't so good. But... Anyway, I think that if people are non-monogamous that they should both have the freedom, and safe sex and testing is important. I wouldn't be cool with any kind of requirements to dye my hair or alter my appearance in ways I didn't want. But, those are my preferences and choices. Other people make other choices.0 -
