“If TNG/Voyager/Enterprise have proven anything, it’s that the exploratory goody-goody take on the franchise has been exhausted”

Adjuncts are, of course, far more likely to be female than tenured professors are.

But he gave money to lots of good causes! He loved old Hollywood movies! He basically gave us women reproductive rights! He is the sole reason we women can dress the way we want today!... Some of the comments here make me want to quit Jezebel forever, barf.

Yep. This. This. And This.

Lol. Spent a lifetime objectifying women, but look at this tweet his social media manager sent one time.

He may not have called them bitches, but he sure as hell didn’t respect them. I will never understand the Hefner apologists - it is no coincidence that Cosby and Hefner were best buddies and at least one of the Cosby rapes happened at the Playboy Mansion.

It’s amazing what rich men can get away with as long as they keep up the appearance of a ‘gentleman’ and put out some vague comments about ‘respecting women’ every now and then. Actions speak louder than words.

53% of white women voted Trump. There’s a lot of female creep-enablers out there.

THIS. He took objectification of women to the next level, in a society where that was already the accepted norm.

I will never understand this dude’s popularity with women. The man basically kept a creepy babe-zoo in his house and only supported ‘women’s empowerment’ as long as it fit his idea of women being naked and not being ~prudes~ about it. If literally any other man did this, would we applaud him for being an ‘icon’?

He was a historical figure and had massive cultural influence, but much of his legacy does not have a soft place in my heart. He had a long and privileged life. His idea that putting women on display for male voyeurism was the same as liberating them sexually was always heavily flawed and very misogynistic. Instead…

I blame about 40-60% of my childhood trauma on Hugh Hefner so I can’t say that I’m in mourning. My father thought it was a funny and novel idea to tack pictures of Playboy centerfolds in the bathrooms at our summer cabin, so every time I had to pee I would be staring down a voluptuous bunny giving me a come hither…

It kills me that H. Hefner is so revered for being some kind of pioneer of the sexual revolution.. he was a pioneer of a sexual revolution predominantly centred around the male gaze & fantasy, which is hardly revolutionary and has played a major hand in getting us to where we find ourselves today, which is not exactly…

Yeah you’re about the only person who feels that way. It was brilliant.

That’s ridicous? It was perfectly plotted through out.

I am so excited for this to be back. That first season was utterly fantastic.

I hope those are the folks they focus on, yes.

I’ll check it out. She talked about sexism in the interview I listened to and I’m sure she does in most interviews, given the role in played in the election.
