Bin the Bunny The anti-Playboy campaigners have made three short films to emphasise the true message of Hefners pornographic empire. Hef’s attempt to regularise his brand of porn with the cutesy pink bunny logo blazoned on everything from bedding to pencil cases, (targeted at females) has ceased to be merely “irresponsible” and is beginning to appear rather disturbing and manipulative.
In other words. Hefner is in the business of persuading young girls to advertise and enjoy, to celebrate in; a symbol of their own subjugation. For behind the innocuous pink fluffy bunny lies the “truth” and it’s spoken in the language of the misogynist – it says ‘bitch’ ‘whore’ ’slut’ and ‘c**t’ (and don’t forget the ‘pink’)
Our aim is to illustrate the fact that Playboy, while being marketed to young women and girls as a ’stylish’ and ’sophisticated’ brand, is a pornography company. The films use satirical humour to expose Playboy Enterprises’ exploitative practices against women and girls as well as demonstrate some of the objections raised by the public against the company.
MU, when you live under patriarchy as we do, males consider themselves to be the specialist on all subjects, whether they know what they’re talking about or don’t. So – you arriving here and accusing me of “untruths” and using that tone of type doesn’t mean anything to me.
You see MU, your sense of superiority and authority – is – an – illusion. So you don’t get to call me “hysterical” sorry.
Sparkle, I see nothing about your post that even remotely conveys ‘hysterical’. (I’m guessing you’re responding to a comment you’ve since deleted). At any rate, call me a conspiracy theorist, but I’ve occasionally wondered if GGW might not be related to Hef’s empire in the sense of “prepping” young women to be consumed by/consumers of playboy later on.
Hi heycarahe, yes, I mean what’s so incredulous about the “grooming” of children and young adults. Paedophiles have been doing it since paedophilia was recognised as a crime. Anyway, to accuse a woman of “hysteria” is a well known way to shut a female down and why shouldn’t it be? It’s been used by men for hundreds of years, and even more recently supported by the father of misogynistic psychotherapy himself – Freud.
People are naive if they think there is no method in the madness of governments/advertising/capitalists as so forth.
I like the video and yes, I also think HH knows exactly what’s he’s doing. I can’t stand his guts but he’s still a shrewd business man.
Hi zigzag – Exactly, and he’s a woman hater as well as a business man.
Hysterical sparks? Would that be the thing that’s caused by the womb wandering about the body? Hows about ‘testical’ -the phenomenon of speaking utter bollocks caused by the possession of male genitalia…..
Hey Polly I like that. Yes, I can say “what utter testicular rubbish” or “bumper nuts” go look http://www.feminist-reprise.org/wpblog/2007/12/02/a-genre-is-born/
I find it interesting that you’ve got some sexists who call women “hysterical” for being female* and then you’ve got others who insist that men can’t control themselves sexually because of the almighty testosterone.
*in the US awhile ago, a female professor who objected to a sexist comment by a male academic was sneeringly labeled “hysterical” by a right-wing columnist, of course with knowledge of all the implications of the word.
Main Entry: hys·te·ria Pronunciation: \his-ter-ē-, -tir-\ Function: noun
Etymology: New Latin, from English hysteric, adjective, from Latin hystericus, from Greek hysterikos, from hystera womb; from the Greek notion that hysteria was peculiar to women and caused by disturbances of the uterus Date: 1801
1 : a psychoneurosis marked by emotional excitability and disturbances of the psychic, sensory, vasomotor, and visceral functions
2 : behavior exhibiting overwhelming or unmanageable fear or emotional excess
***********
Of course, seeing that men don’t have uteri those ancient Greek patriarchs needed to pathologise the uterus and credit it with some weird maladies. Trouble is, sexist men are in some sort of never ending time warp loop where they mistake women who speak up with The Hysterical Wandering Womb Syndrome (HWWS) that never existed anyway. Wow – how hard is that to maintain?.
eta:With reference to “wandering wombs” I may try to think up a word describing the “wandering dick” phenomena.
What follows is an example of some of the male hysteria that I find in my comments. I thought I would publish one for a change. Sparks.
I see you enjoy injuring males. Dead men don’t rape.
Bumper Nuts – these are plastic bollox hanging on the back of a truck i.e. Not Real *news flash* – no “nuts” were hurt in this “castration” and no…dead men don’t; do they?
Don’t expect me to piss on you if you’re on fire.
I wouldn’t dream of having any of your body fluids any where near me.
(Edited for hysteria). Heal thyselves before you try to heal others.
My, my, who’s sounding like the Pope here then? And have you noticed that plank in your eye lately?
(Edited for unwarranted and cruel personal attack on a Feminist Sister)
Hypocritical sickos you are
Nope, nothing insincere, two-faced, duplicitous, deceitful, phoney, false or diseased about sparkle – far from it.
p.s. as for your previous comment, sorry but I can’t make head nor tail of it ?
Troll with the many names but the same IP. No -don’t tell me, you’re at a shared lap top troll party.
I don’t know why I’m taking the time to respond to you but… oh well.
You say “Those are plastic bollocks”
I say “Those are paper boobs”
The ‘paper boobs’ is a picture of a real woman.
The plastic bolloxs are not salvaged from a human castration or an abattoir. I.e they are NOT real.
Pornography is real because it involves human beings – not so with plastic toys.
When men look at porn, the Feminazi position is that they are murdering and raping child girls.
When women hang plastics bollocks from bumpers, “it’s a laugh”
How do you make this leap from real females (aka Human beings) in porn to a plastic novelty? Yes, some girls/women ARE raped and murdered in the name of male wankery. And as I’ve said above where is the connection to this with a fucking plastic toy bollox? Also, where does it say that this truck belongs to a woman?
Moreover, in respect to ’feminazi’ we feminists have never systematically abused, tortured or attempted genocide …so please show some respect of Nazi victims.
Seriously get a fucking grip dip shit. And you call me irrational?
Your IP is now banned.
OMG, I was just WAITING for some ridiculous dude to get all righteous over this, so thanks for providing him the opportunity, Sparkle. It’s totally fine to have magazines filled with pictures of ACTUAL WOMEN being tied up and tortured, but god forbid I should spend 20 minutes with Fireworks doctoring a photo of FAKE BALLS.
And FTR the photo was totally lifted from the website of bumpernuts, one of many companies who ACTUALLY SELL that crap, which is purchased BY MEN to hang on their STUPID HUGE TRUCKS. Just google “truck balls”, they’re everywhere. I see them hanging from bumpers around here all the time. But by the precious baby jeezus and his tiny testicles, I’m a lesbian separatist! Where on EARTH would the troll du jour get the idea that I’d have these on my OWN vehicle????
Thanks Amy
There are women tied up and tortured in Playboy? I’m confused.
So am I as I don’t see where this was said.
There may not be women tied up and tortured in playboy magazine Kelly (whether this was said or not) but their TV channels certainly do boast ‘Anal Pleasures’ – a woman with a look of pain/ecstasy (can’t work out which) on her face -since women (unlike men) don’t have anything in the rectum to cause ecstasy when penetrated maybe it’s the former. Also featured “The Ben Dover Show”
“Getting to grips with 18-year-old cutie Zoe was loads of fun. The Polish teeny with the pigtails and cute cupcake titties giggled girlishly as our two studs stripped her, pawed her and then banged her to heaven and back!”
Fake (but legal of course) paedophilia anyone?
“Michelle’s Slut search”, “Ripped, Stripped and Shagged”, “Drunken Lesbo Sluts” “Hard Slamming -
Two lucky blokes get to spit roast a hot slutty blonde.” “Barely 18 Anal Virgins” “Fetish Teens” “Anal College Girls” “Piss Loving Lesbian Sluts” – well you get the drift.
And before some smart arse says these aren’t on Playboy TV- some are on spice extreme and the adult channel – other channels run by playboy.
