What the hell is up with Breitbart?
While I have some issues with Hefner it is also true feminists hate him therefore there are things that must be right about him...
He idealized certain aspects of women divorced from some aspects that are inseparable from aspects he claimed to idealize. For example, morning sickness.

psy·cho·sissīˈkōsəs/noun
a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality. [The Architects of Western Decline: A Study on the Frankfurt School and Cultural Marxism]
"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion. Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science. Members of parliament, representatives of business circles.Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups: those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation; [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.

Nope, of going to buy it. He started the hedonistic movement against women. He made his fortune using women.
Although Hugh Heffner was certainly a liberal or at least a liberal leaning libertarian, he was never afraid of open debate or of printing opposing views, he asked many conservatives, including William F. Buckley and Rush Limbaugh to write stories for Playboy. That puts him one step above the “shut down all opposing views” special snowflake liberals of today.
Needs more barf alert.
Why would be glamorous smut merchants?
Sure, because casual sex, gay marriage, the drug culture, feminism, the abortion industry, the minority grievance culture, and basically any and all forms of hedonism have been such an improvement for America....
All of the above and more were endorsed and promoted by Hefner.
Hugh Hefner was in the vanguard of the left’s campaign against the American culture that existed before the Sixties. The Sixties won. The ‘Repressive’ America that had a residual though unofficial christian culture lost.
He was the kind of person American conservatism seeks to enable the self-made man; the radical, pajama-clad individual; the author of his own destiny. And he idealized women as women, in a way the left no longer allowsHorse-poop. He was exactly the thing that the left was about: destruction of the family by objectifying, hypersexualizing and dehumanizing women, and promoting sex outside marriage as well as implying that marriage is by definition sexless.
There is always collateral damage where freedom exist.
Lost innocence.
At the same time no one made anyone look at playboy.
And women, who posed naked, had a choice.
If I get in trouble someday I want to hire the PR firm that wrote the talking points that were used by the author of this article.
Gadzooks-- I cannot comment... as I never read any of the stories.
RIP Hef
It was certainly his right to pretend that he was forever in his 30's, infinitely wealthy, and possessed of epicurean tastes in everything from scotch to automobiles. The reality was still an old wrinkled git in a bathrobe. De gustibus non est disputandum.
No, no we shouldn’t.
Hefner was a pipe smoker, as am I, and it was widely-rumored that his favorite blend was Middleton’s Mixture No. 79, which has been been reviled by pipe smokers who have described it as having the flavor and smell of soap, or perfume, or a scent cachet from granny’s bloomers drawer. I tried it once myself. Once. I guess some people like it.
And that’s my only comment about the life, legacy, and passing of Hugh Hefner.
He was America’s most innovative and preeminent pimp. Make no mistake. He was a neo pagan, epicurean hedonist who contributed mightily to the social rot of America.
