Arguements for Hugh Hefner to be considered the world's first true male feminist

Idk what that meansssss

preciado's /pornotopia/ is a valuable contemporary critique of hef, and would have been good to hurl at calum's dumb OP here. but i already hyped it up in this more viable hefner thread: Does anyone know how one goes about embarking on a career as "Hugh Hefner"?

to me hef is really a rolling maleness/masculinity avatar. playboy was about a certain image of the cultured and sophisticated man - i don't even know if it was a false image, hef might well have been like that, but playboy certainly perpetuated the lie that most men are like that, and that very airbrushed, glamorous take on sexuality. i don't think all male sexuality is hustler sexuality, meat-grinder porn or whatever, but in 2018 the playboy approach strikes me as a bit of a blind alley; i find the present "customs"-based porn subculture far more interesting.
