Many a feminists will be happy. According to them he just took advantage and exploited women.
Maybe the repressed and\or dumber ones. He main-streamed sex. That's one big foot in the door for the US to escape it's puritanical roots. Ironically, he arguably helped women more than men.
i think he was a gross dirty old man. and he was 91. that's actually living to a ripe old age if you ask me.
I agree with you. I think he was a dirty old man even back when he started Playboy. I don't get all the condolences I see floating around about what a perfect life Hefner must have had, how he can RIP after his partying etc.
To me, he's just ... I'll be nice since he died ... someone I never held respect for and didn't get his lifestyle at all. I don't understand why he is such an icon other than he got laid a ton by women who were doing it to further their own financial agendas. Not sure what's so noble or grand about that.
Playboy was controversial. It was the first mainstream magazine featuring 'artistic' female nudes. There are very few males today over the age of 50 that didn't have one or more Playboy magazines hidden under their bed at one time or another when they were going through puberty.
