How horrendous. Truly sickening. It is so sad to see women and young girls buying playboy merchandise. Degrading themselves and women in general without conciously thinking they are doing so. How have they managed to infiltrate society in such a manner?
Playboy – like all big businesses – is very clever in its merchandising and in its marketing. There’s also the insidious nature of the rabbit-head logo itself; how is any adult supposed to explain to a nine-year-old girl, who wants Playboy merchandise the same as all her friends, exactly what it represents?
I agree with the other person.
Me and my friends are all among the age of 13. My best friend loves the Playboy bunny logo, and she doesn’t even know what it stands for.
I don’t mind drawings, but when it gets to actual photos, it IS truely sickening.
Plus, most of those girls’ D cups are from plastic surgury. >_>

Yep. This makes me feel ill. The titles of those films…I felt my blood start to boil. I am so angry! As a woman who has protected myself from porn (of all forms)…I am horrified at all of this…and angered! And saddened. To know that men view women through those eyes (and that so many women LET them) just breaks my heart.
These things make me sick, and I don’t think it does much help to assume that if we just “educate” men that we’re human beings, then they’ll just listen. They already know we’re human beings. they just don’t care. No more “they don’t know any better” excuses, or “they need to be taught”. You don’t need to be taught someone else is human.
Hi White Valkyrie,
I agree, it’s a waste of time trying to convince misogynist men not to be misogynist any more, and that men’s abuse of women happens because male-dominant society lets them get away with it.
But what is a feminist concern is how boys are socialised into being men, porn culture plays a part in defining masculinity, challenge that, and we are challenging the dominant idea of what a ‘real man’ is like.
