| Hef was such an influential American. Will the President order American flags to half-mast? |
Where on Earth are you getting this information that many of the women who posed for playboy were raped or sexually assaulted? |

"Every Friday morning we had to go to Hef's room, wait while he picked up all the dog poo off the carpet — and then ask for our allowance: a thousand dollars counted out in crisp hundred-dollar bills from a safe in one of his bookcases. We all hated this process. Hef would always use the occasion to bring up anything he wasn't happy about in the relationship. Most of the complaints were about the lack of harmony among the girlfriends — or your lack of sexual participation in the 'parties' he held in his bedroom. If we'd been out of town for any reason and missed one of the official 'going out' nights [when Hefner liked to parade his girls at nightclubs] he wouldn't want to give us the allowance. He used it as a weapon."

Just more fake news. |
It's not. It's very real, and you know it. |
So they could've left then, I didn't hear anything about being chained up. |
And most of them did. It was not a happy place. |

"The notion that Playboy turns women into sex objects is ridiculous. Women ARE sex objects."
- Hugh Hefner |
This shows that the guy was dick, a complete asshole that in no way deserves the veneration that many of the dumb asses on DCUM are giving him. I do not take this as an example of sexual assault or him being a rapists. These weren't women who were living with him because their alternative was the streets. These women allowed themselves to live this degrading lifestyle because they wanted a chance to pose naked in his magazine and attend his parties with celebrities. |
Sickening.

A weapon? How about do your i king job if you want to get paid? I can't imagine not showing up for work and then being upset when I don't get a bonus. |
This! |

Sorry faux-feminsty men, Hugh and his ilk were not good men and did not help sexual lib for women.
Sorry to burst your faux feminist bubble. |
I don't think that I'm the one looking at women and labeling them or questioning their personal choices. Some women chose to pose nude in Playboy solely for the money and for the status of being a Playboy Bunny. Think of all of the celebrities who have done it. You don't have to agree with it to understand that other women might make other choices than you do. |
