Yeah, ladies, naked is the new normal! Sending nudes is the new handshake! Women who are proud enough of their bodies to show them off makes men respect them MORE!

Something about dudes who use the objectification of women’s bodies to make themselves rich just pisses me off.

I just hope they don’t put a big nose on her like they did Nicole Kidman in ‘The Hours.’ And, at least in this photo, VW seems to have quite a lovely nose.

Ppl in control of lives (parents before they have kids and after for post partum and f it just ongoing ) pilots , whatever should have consistent and thorough MH screenings. Why isn’t this a regular thing in our society ?

D’aww, I just noticed that you complimented my user name. Thanks!

i wish I was like...100 years in the future (in the HRC moderate timeline) and Hitechens could be seen as a relic or a previous era

Considering some of the top searches of straight male porn are “teen” and “barely legal” is it any wonder all these straight dudes are getting defensive about how Playboy has tried to make this woman look as much like a sexy child as possible? Seriously, these guys get as close to the line of underage as they possibly…

So adorable when people try to use feminist ideas to defensively back up shitty preferences. No one is attempting to infantalize this young woman in a way that demeans her personally. They’re commenting on the fact that Playboy very obviously selected her for her very youthful features and figure and posed her in a…

Playboy is going for the overlooked Catholic priest and the GOP family matters demographic.

Really? Because it was crystal clear to me and I find all of these comments harping on the OP slightly embarrassing.

I do apologize for that. I didn’t mean that there’s something wrong with ANY woman’s appearance, ever. I was really just trying to express my disgust at how women’s sexuality is packaged and sold for profit in very specific ways.

Right. That’s another argument. And it seems like that’s what the original commenter was trying to say; however they did it under the guise of attacking the woman for looking “too young” rather than, as you said, the concept of a magazine selling sexual subjectivity.

I thought that the styling choices/context in which she appeared was assumed. I would never criticize her for wearing a bikini in public, for example. I would never treat her like a child. I would never judge her solely for her appearance. I just have a problem with men exploiting her young looking appearance for what…

There’s always going to be people who will argue about how a woman is photographed in a magazine like Playboy. No matter what.

I’m commenting on the fact that many many many many male producers of this type of material purposefully make-up, pose, accentuate women to look underage IN SEXUALLY EXPLICIT ways. It’s a huge business. I’m not calling this woman a child at all. If I saw her in the street I would never ever say something like that.…

I envy your ability to repress thoughts.

Yes. She looks like a 20 year old. She’s a beautiful young woman.

The face. Young looking.

I agree. She looks like a child. They somehow went from gross to PEDO in record time.

Sooooo, they cover up now but use women who look like they’re 13? How is this ANY kind of improvement?
