I don't know how many of you guys have ever seen this, but after some long nights of Tumblr browsing, my roommate found this and showed it to me. The ironic thing was that she told me how much respect she had for Hugh Hefner after reading this, and asked me if I thought it was great that he was a voice for treating women well. Uh, I think she had good intentions, but as far as I'm concerned, just because Hugh Hefner doesn't call women bitches (much appreciated, Hef) that doesn't exactly make him a feminist. One of the comments beneath this post said: "
Hugh Hefner's logic: Calling women ‘bitches’ is disrespectful...but parading them around, exploiting, and treating them like sex objects is A-OKAY!!"(ahh, annoying font change...) I couldn't agree more with what this person said, they pointed out the exact hypocrisy that I saw in what Hugh was saying. Sure, maybe he respects women, but would Hugh Hefner respect a woman if maybe she was a little frumpy, a little overweight, and a little bit, oh I don't know, more age appropriate? Something makes me doubt it. Just take a look at his wife:
yeah.
Hmm... I agree with you. It's nice that Hugh Hefner at least doesn't refer to women as bitches, but there's still a lot of obvious female objectification going on here. I wouldn't exactly call Hefner a feminist.
