Gteetings! Now, to start off, I am not American and I don’t have much familiarity with playboy as a magazine or a company, the only reason I know of playboy is from movies and tv shows.
I have always thought that playboy was a chauvinistic magazine that objectified women and was owned by a not so nice man. So when I went to their site I was a little surpriced to find articles like this: The Manosphere Isn’t Even Having Fun or Losers Who Wear Smart Glasses Are Filming Women Without Consent
Can someone explain to me if I’ve been wrong about playboy or if they are actually progressive?
It’s a bit of both. Playboy the organisation has a problematic history on how they treat women. Lots of people, men and women alike, that wrote for Playboy are progressives that see open expression of sexuality as a form of liberation.
