    Hefner had an exceptionally narrow conception of female beauty, as fixed as Barbie dolls. That's what made his pornography banal.pic.twitter.com/Qud3bRSzt7

        There are degrees of banality. Playboy is the Wonder Bread of porn.

        The male libido is the sole and objective determinant of female beauty, and Hef had a strong one.

        He truly did. He made it seem hip and urbane to treat us like interchangeable, disposable objects for their pleasure.

        "Women in Playboy have gone from appearing unattainable to looking totally fake." - told to me by a stranger since I've never read Playboy.

        I am having a hard time understanding why anyone liked him so much. Not saying he was a bad guy. Don't get what made him so admirable.

        I think WaPo has an article on his influence today. Strong civil rights supporter. Apparently surprisingly thoughtful person.
