One bunny turned out to be a journalist: Feminist Gloria Steinem got hired in the early 1960s and turned her brief employment into an article for Show magazine that described the clubs as pleasure havens for men only. The bunnies, Steinem wrote, tended to be poorly educated, overworked and underpaid. Steinem regarded the magazine and clubs not as erotic, but "pornographic."


"I think Hefner himself wants to go down in history as a person of sophistication and glamour. But the last person I would want to go down in history as is Hugh Hefner," Steinem later said.


"Women are the major beneficiaries of getting rid of the hypocritical old notions about sex," Hefner responded. "Now some people are acting as if the sexual revolution was a male plot to get laid. One of the unintended by-products of the women's movement is the association of the erotic impulse with wanting to hurt somebody."

Hugh Hefner: effusive tributes ignore Playboy founder's dark side
The man who created Playboy, who has died aged 91, has been remembered as an American icon – but others recall a controlling, emotionally abusive manipulator

91 seems to have become a dangerous age for some reason (see Richard Anderson and Harry Dean Stanton).

I don't recall ever thinking of "Hef" as a nice man in any way but as another icon of a certain time in history his passing is something worth marking.

It's hard to know about Hefner and the testimonials about him, given how much the feminists hate him (tame as Playboy really was).

He could have been a monster, or he could have been a sweetheart (as some insist). There are just too many agenda to spin his story and his character a particular way.

91 seems to have become a dangerous age for some reason (see Richard Anderson and Harry Dean Stanton).

91 is absolutely one of those ages where people drop. It's weird, actually. So is 114 for those who go on to the rarest of finish lines.
