To me, underneath all the glitz and rhetoric, he objectified women. We have a difficult time being taken seriously as it is.

My dad had a chest freezer full of mags from the first issue. I don't know what happened to them after he passed.
He THOUGHT they were hidden in the cellar but I think all 8 kids had a peek.
I'm sure my mother couldn't wait to get rid of them.
And.......I'm sure he only read the articles.��
Hmmm.,I wonder how they felt about being pressured to sleep with his cronies during wild parties at the playboy grotto?It's not like Hugh / Playboy kidnapped or drug the ladies off the street screaming and clawing to be waitresses in a Playmate Club or shed their clothes to be a Playmate......they did so of their own free will.
They were young and impressionable, fell for his bs, believed fame and fortune was theirs for the taking, that what they were doing was art.
