Great series; some quibbles on the Playboy episode

“On the while I'm enjoying each season of this podcast more than the last. Season 3's looks at the history of gender politics are fascinating and illuminating. But what to make of S3:E4? Standing on its own it would be a very worthwhile, if more then a little overly tidy, documentary on the origins, context, and to a lesser extent the impact of Playboy's rise to cultural prominence. It seems out of place in this season, however, as the attempt to position Playboy as a major explanation of sexual violence against women is incredibly reductive. Sexual violence was pervasive long before Playboy and Vargas pinups. Pornography - always with us and always accessible to men of privilege - is not a monolith, and Playboy has always been more a reflection than a driver of male entitlement; well worth examining and, Steinem-style, skewering, but only a small part of the story. A useful companion to this episode might be the same week's episode of the podcast "Sex Out Loud," which takes a much more nuanced look at the cultural content and context of hardcore pornography in the 1970s. Still a fan of the series and recommend it to anyone following today's politics.”Read full review »
