Didn't all these women do what they did with him willingly?

Women desperate for money aren't on a level playing field with men who have tons of money, power and influence.

Women may finally find themselves equal to men in all areas when they decide to stop acting like perpetual victims. Take responsibility for decisions. These women made a choice. They weren’t oppressed or victimized. To suggest otherwise implies we are weak.

Careful, your privilege is showing.

Let me just guess: you are white and upper-middle class, and have been your whole life. You have never known what it is like to be hungry or homeless.

What makes you think that Playboy bunnies were hungry homeless women?

Total BS. Any woman over age 40 was totally useless and might as well have been dead as far as Hefner and his ilk were concerned. They used women like Kleenex, nothing more.

And someone's favorite teacher years later is labeled a pedophile.

One of the sketches approved by dear old Hef for Playboy.

If a woman willingly stays with a man who beats her, does that make it okay?

I was the one that stated the women chose to do what they did in regards to Hef...

Anyway, are you comparing women who are in a physically abusive relationship to women who got paid to pose nude in a magazine? You don't have to like him, I couldn't care any less, but don't be so extreme and dramatic.

Apparently sex robots are becoming better than lifelike so women won't have to worry about being sexually attractive anymore.

He showed middle class American women that it was ok to be interested in sex.

LOL in 1950 women were considered an old maid if they were not marriage by 22. Educate yourself and stop voting for Trump.

It's sad when people die. But that's all I have to say.

Good riddance. He normalized treating women as disposables, like tissues. What a creep.

Aren't most heterosexual men into hot, naked women?

And no one over 17 read Maxim. PP sounds silly.

Who cares whether women OR men call women who ARE ho's/bimbos/sluts what they actually are? Both men and women use the word asshole to describe a certain type of male and no one has a problem with that.

"Asshole" doesn't refer to a man's sexuality. No woman should be called names because of her sexuality.

Perhaps so. But I think terms like bimbo describe a behavior that goes beyond simply being sexually promiscuous. The women Hef slept with, especially in his older age, were willing to take part in orgies with a man old enough to be their great-grandfather for money or some other benefit. During his last decade, three women actually agreed to enter a polygamous relationship with him, which included being given an allowance, and curfew and without shame agreed to have their pathetic lives filmed for a TV show. I can think of no better term than bimbo to describe these women.
