Hugh Hefner is Dead!

[Well.wisher]

Can any one tell me hat he did for women ? Y r people praising him ?

For a 91 year old he had a smile on his face every day of his life and damn he looked like he was 40 .....

Saw some of his interviews fairly simple person very polite to people around him and never vulgar, I used to have a persona of the person being hard headed or vulgar or crazy lunatic
However seeing some of his interviews and conversation it was clear he was just a businessman

He believed a certain life style stayed true to it never damaged anyone or hurt anyone

Can anyone live that life style ? No , but someone this man enjoyed company of absolutely georgeous women all around world , made money shared some laughs and then moved on

Best attribute "Not a Hypocrite "

It is better to have a person who is exactly how they describe you to or present themselves to be then a person who does things in hiding

Not sure how he did it but he hit the jackpot every 10 years *decade

If Steve Jobs is attributed to perfecting computers and technology.

This man figured out the wayto bridge the man/women dimension and attract so many ladies. How many times we hear the statement I just can't understand my opposite but here we see a man who not only understood the complexity but proved that he can attract 100-200 ladies and get thru the experience with some style and grace.

There are so many rich people yet they can't attract such flock of women

Not be in situation where women are fighting and scandals are all around

Simple man ... he said .....I am what I am and I choose to surround myself with ladies and that is how I will live my life

Nicely played Sir !!! Won it all with out ever lifting any weapon
Every day is a new party

If a woman had said that she wanted to be around men all her life , she wouldn't have gotten this much respect on pdf .

Well every person have their own life who are we to judge
Just thought the person was not hypocrite and seem to attract alot of women

Seems like a fair statement

And that life style is not possible to handle for most however the person managed contrary to popular belief that most people become old after age 30-40

Unique character lived his way of thinking for 91 year

Some folks live their lives to conquer land this person had a different idea , combine work and party life some people dweal on conquering land and expnding empires this guy just decided to forget about Empires and focused on one thing "Party" and fancy dinners

SEXISM
No, Hugh Hefner Did Not Love Women

IDEAS
Jill Filipovic is a lawyer and writer
Hugh Hefner loved his things: his silk bathrobes, his palatial mansion, his vintage cars. And of course, he would be quick to say, his girls — those interchangeable blondes all below a certain age, with their Barbie-shaped bodies and smiles that never moved their eyes.
Hefner claimed to "love women." He certainly loved to look at women, or at least the type of women who fit a very particular model. He loved to make money by selling images of women to other men who "love women." He certainly met a lot of women, had sex with a lot of women, talked to a lot of women. But I'm not sure Hefner ever really knew any of us. And he certainly did not love us.

Hugh Hefner wasn't just a rake in expensive (if extremely cheesy) bathrobes; he was allegedly, according to multiple accounts, an abuser. To add insult to injury, he will be buried next to one of the many women he wronged to enrich himself: Marilyn Monroe, whose images helped launch his magazine, but who never wanted them printed in the first place.

SEXISM
Ellen Pao Has Some Sage Advice for Dealing With Sexism
Yes, Hefner was on the right side of many of the biggest issues of the modern era: free speech, reproductive choice, gay rights. Playboy pushed the envelope on nudity and obscenity, sex and desire. But it did so within the narrowest of frames: men's views, experiences, interests, biases and desires. Hefner likely would say that Playboy was a reflection of the male psyche. But it also had a hand in shaping it — and the cultural psyche, too.

What Hefner and Playboy never did was present women as human, or consider us anything like men. Hefner made female sex objects more relatable and accessible — the Playboy centerfold was the girl next door, not the famous movie actress —but this wasn't so much an elevation as a downward shift: social permission for men to look at all women through the zipper in their jeans, and not even bother to pretend it was otherwise.

Brilliantly, Hefner attached himself to the sexual revolution and the feminist gains that precipitated it. From his vantage point, publishing a magazine full of naked women was just one part of the new culture of “free love.” Except of course the promise of freedom in love was less free for women, who still found themselves saddled with the social expectation of being sexual gatekeepers, and often burdened and shamed by any pregnancies that resulted.


And women didn’t have equal access to sexual pleasure, either – a dynamic Hefner helped to foster. While “free love” meant that men increasingly faced lower barriers to sexual access, it did not mean those same men tried to sexually please and cater to the women they had sex with, nor take responsibility for any unanticipated result – an infection, a pregnancy. Hefner advocated for contraception and abortion rights, sure, but because those things benefited men’s sex lives, not because they were necessary components of female freedom. He didn’t fundamentally challenge a view of sex as something women provide to men and that is primarily about male pleasure and experience, with women in a performative role. If anything, he took that existing sexual imbalance and magnified it, creating a brand that is synonymous with sexualized women being gazed at as things a man might want to acquire.

There’s nothing wrong with getting naked or being sexy, and some feminists might argue that Hefner admirably challenged our silly cultural puritanism. But American women have long been expected to be aesthetically and sexually pleasing; Hefner just had them show more nipple. Sexist prudery, which equated a woman’s worth with her sexual choices, was supplanted by sexist objectification, which demanded a woman perform sexiness for male approval, and still punished her if she was too sexual on her own terms. Some deal.

Hefner’s commitment to women’s freedoms is apparent in how he treated the women in his life. The women who lived in the Playboy Mansion were essentially trapped, required to stick to tight curfews, pressured to engage in whatever sex acts their ancient benefactor demanded and plied with drugs (he reportedly called Quaaludes “thigh-openers”) to get them through it. Before she was a feminist leader, Gloria Steinem was a journalist, and one of her stories was about going undercover as a “bunny” at the Playboy Club in New York, where the young women had to follow an arcane set of rules. They were told private detectives may be following them and engaging in workplace sting operations to see if they were breaking any. “Bunnies” were required to undergo an STI test and a gynecological exam conducted by a male doctor of the club’s choice before starting work.

America – and Playboy’s role in it — shifted significantly in the final years of Hefner’s life. The magazine, and Hefner himself, once trafficked in an image of male sophistication. But by the 2000s, that image was, like McMansion America, more associated with the vulgar and tasteless, a run-down portrait painted into further dilapidation by a reality TV show shot at the Playboy Mansion. The magazine itself also changed: With ubiquitous free internet ****, Playboy’s promise of full frontal no longer sold copies. Playboy is now more or less nudity-free.

Hefner did terrible things, and got rich off of them. But it’s still hard not to feel a little bit sorry for a man so clearly uncomfortable with himself that he built an empire on a commodified and empty casing of male sexual desire, a man who threw legendary parties to bond with other men over bikini-clad women, and who paid beautiful women to live in his house and have sex with him so he wouldn’t have to be alone. He was a man who didn’t even believe his “girlfriends” would come home at the end of the day if he didn’t make a rule. If Hugh Hefner wasn’t Hef, the founder of Playboy — if he was just Hugh Hefner, the man – all of the things he confused with love would have never come to him. Not the sex, not the girls, not even the men he considered friends.

He built an empire on male desire, but never seems to have been truly desired himself. He sold a new kind of masculine aspiration, of which he was the paradigm. It was the women he claimed to love who bore most of the cost, but now it’s easy to see the price he paid, too, the things a callow and shallow little man will trade for some time in the spotlight next to a blonde with a great rack. How fitting that, in death, Hef doesn’t evoke hope or ambition, but that simplest and most patronizing of emotions: Pity.

It is a complex world

>Our Prince and Wealthy also rotate freely with in the limit how ever it is well documented but their lives are well hidden

When the mirror is shown , the people turn away and say uff what have you shown us this can't possibly be true

The meaning of free will is distorted as we cross border from one nation to other and when it is distorted the view of world we see is distorted

World is complex place:

• Some live their entire life in a village
  
• Some live their entire life in a small town
  
• Some live their lives in Jungle or undiscovered islands and roam around with no textiles
  
• Some live on Igloo islands and their best part of day is the fish dinner
  
• Some live their lives on a hut floating on a sea bed
  
• Some setout to go on a conquest and find meaning in things in their own way
  
• Some decide to do social work
  
• Some go into politics and break every law in world
  
• Some just decide to have a big party every night
• Some decide to live their lives by a rule and code book of their choice
• Some decide to become healers , healers of soul and health
  
• Some become writers but they write lies in newspapers

I am merely a journey man , who is here and views these variations, the world was here before I was born and will still be there when I close my eyes

Maulana sahib according to your logic everyone who promotes economic development,human rights,try to be compatible with the 21st century and try to expose criminals hiding behind religion is liberal.Being liberal not just means promoting erotica and vulgarity.You changed the definition of liberalism for your own comfort.
As long as our universities are producing educated people who will contribute something good to this country or world,i really don,t care what happens in their private lives as long as they are not doing something illegal or hurting themselves or someone else.

Sorry but that is exactly the definition of liberal and that is what all liberals are busy doing getting drunk and naked and ending up dead due to drug over doze.

Well then your view of looking at this world is very narrow.

 

[SecularNationalist]

Sorry but that is exactly the definition of liberal and that is what all liberals are busy doing getting drunk and naked and ending up dead due to drug over doze.

But many people failed to realize what you just wrote and think what they are doing is just right and others are wrong.They do not bother to look around and try to discover different perspectives.
