In reply to the discussion: JOY doing segment on Hefner and civil rights...and YES he was an activist [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)I'm wondering if some of these one-dimensional attitudes toward Hefner might be ascribed, not to just one-dimensional thinking, but at least in part to the priggish Reagan-era, 1978ish-2008, attitudes. Probably a bunch of people here grew up in that era.
Although all this narrow-minded mud is supposedly being slung only at Hefner, the women he's famous for displaying actually flew across the country and applied and competed for those "honors." For sure, if he personifies all these disgusting sexist whatevers, respect for equality means these women should also be considered guilty and disgusting. If he can't also be a civil rights activist, surely none of them can either.
Sorry, Darine, don't care how many death threats you got for this, to some you're just a "pimpee."
