“Playboy has always had this awkward relationship to feminism. Hefner is a sexist pig that lives off the objectification of women’s bodies and posits nudity as faux-empowerment–since you get paid for it! (He ignores the part where it is a sexist marketplace that believes a women’s greatest asset is that booty which allows for this “empowerment”).
But there’s also this awkwardness–Playboy has made visible types of sexuality and expression that were never seen before, and with that came some diversity, and the opening up of social conventions around sexuality. They just weren’t ones that were predicated on the equality of women.”
We demand that women be recognized as human.
