And still, I believe that the playboy philosphy was developed by men and marketed to women. Those glamour stars of the 20's-40's were marketed to women, by men and male dominated corporations. They just didn't look far enough ahead to what "liberating" women for their sexual utilitarianism would do.
Now the culture rot and gender war is.......spiraling out of control.
The Women I speak of were not "glamour" gals, they were the Female Intellectuals of the time. Psychologist, anthropologist, behavioral Scientist and the such. Many people (mostly men) came against these women and their crack-pot ideas and "research" and in turn were scathed by the majority of Women and Intellectual men. They were labeled sexist and troglodytes. Look back and you will find that most men (before the sixties, the ones not trained by these freaks) were adamantly against such Sudo-science (sic) and even published work contradicting them. All to no avail. The men you seem to lay a portion blame (deservedly so) on were instructed and shaped by these crack pots. They were not the cause but the continuing effect. This social, sexual revolution truly began in the twenties and thirties by Women, Homosexuals and so called Intellectuals. The movement was furthered by the absents of True Men. Men called to duty in a war torn era and fuel by the desire for equal rights. Then, as now worthy social causes were hijacked by "progressive" intellectuals (see Environmentalism, Minority Rights, Social Welfare (during the depression) and Animal rights for example).
And there are many more. So lets lay the blame at the feet of Socialist, Morally deviant scientist and Intellectuals and then at our self's for letting it happen.
