Despite the success Hugh Hefner achieved during his career, he faced many critics along the way. Most of the backlash he received was from people saying that he was objectifying women. He says, \u201cWhen it came from what was called the liberal left, specifically as a part of the women’s movement \u2014 when the women’s movement became anti-sexual, it was a very confusing time for me then. It isn’t now.\u201d(NPR). Hefner never viewed his magazine as a sex magazine, and didn\u2019t want people thinking that\u2019s all it was. He wanted sex to become a part of an everyday lifestyle, and for people to think of Playboy as a sophisticated men\u2019s magazine. <\/p>\n After the first issue of Playboy was released, the company started to make some drastic changes in its image, going from a men\u2019s magazine to crazy nightclubs. The first nightclub opened in Chicago, Hefner\u2019s hometown. All the women working there dressed in skimpy, silky one pieces with bunny ears and tails. As more and more of these clubs opened, Hugh Hefner started to have \u201cmultiple girlfriends\u201d and this is where the stereotypical image of Hefner began. He had a preference to date much younger girls and that continued all the way until his death. <\/p>\n Work Cited<\/strong> <\/p>\n Dunar, Andrew J. America In The Fifties<\/em>.
