Playboy caters to hate-filled segment of the Left

Newsweek is apparently not the only magazine which is deliberately limiting its customer base. Playboy may have miscalculated in its latest attempt to be "edgy". The link to Ed Driscoll is work-safe. There are lots of secondary links. Can't guarantee all of them. Check out the comments from liberals quoted in Driscoll's post. I won't repeat them here.

From the comments, it appears that Hugh Hefner's daughter is on President Obama's business advisory council. Unfortunate.

Key observations on the hatred of conservative women demonstrated by the short-lived Playboy article which was the subject of this post:

Ed Morrissey

The fact that the magazine published this piece of effluvium should be enough to show that everyone in the editorial process, from the writer to Hef himself, don’t want women empowered. They want silent sex objects, and when confronted with women whose opinions differ from theirs, want them humiliated.

Ed Driscoll

(conservative women are) not human to the identity politics-obsessed left, because they think different.

Much like the 2008 Democratic primary, and the election season that followed . . . it’s helped to shed a glimmer of light on a remarkably primitive side to what’s commonly called “liberalism” or “progressivism” these days.

"Primitive." How very true. Read the whole thing. It's not just Playboy. And liberal women (like Hillary Clinton) can also become targets of verbal savagery by people to the left of them.

GOAL? To get prominent conservative women (and insufficiently liberal women) to Shut Up.
