Playboy: Now With More Misogyny!
June 1, 2009
by Jenn Q. Public
|This is a slightly edited version of an essay originally published on the Jenn Q. Public blog. The author’s opinions are her own, not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
Playboy author Guy Cimbalo identifies himself on the Playboy site as a former editor of lowculture.com, from which this photo of a Guy Cimbalo was taken.
What do these women have in common?
- Michelle Malkin
- Megyn Kelly
- Mary Katharine Ham
- Amanda Carpenter
- Elisabeth Hasselbeck
- Dana Perino
- Laura Ingraham
- Pamela Geller
- Michele Bachmann
- Peggy Noonan
They’re conservative women that Playboy writer Guy Cimbalo would like to hate f***.
“So Right It’s Wrong”is the title of the vile, foul-mouthed piece in which each of the women profiled is given a hate f*** rating. Cimbalo manages to squeeze all four stages of conservative female abuse into his vile emesis – infantilization, sexualization, demonization, and dehumanization – and gets extra points for the sexual exoticization of a conservative woman with the audacity to be something other than white.
Michelle Malkin, for instance, is labeled a “highly f***able Filipina” and purveyor of “frothing idiocy.” Her hate f*** rating? “Worse than f***ing Eva Braun.” And “rancid shrew” Laura Ingraham’s hate f*** rating? “Vagina dentata would be an improvement.”
Of course, in Cimbalo’s serial rape fantasy, the women are, quite literally, asking for it. There’s nothing they want more than for Guy Cimbalo to teach them a sexually degrading lesson. Apparently “bilious simpleton” Elisabeth Hasselbeck “wouldn’t mind putting [her Catholic school uniform] on before taking it off for a session of sweaty, anti-American hate f***ing. And Malkin’s “tight body and get-off-my-lawn stare just scream, ‘Do me!’”
Not all of them are begging for it though. Cimbalo admits that he’d have to get Peggy Noonan liquored up before she’d be pliant enough for some “Cheever-esque hate f***ing.”
Today I should be writing about [other conservative issues]. Instead, I’m sitting here replacing the letters u, c, and k with asterisks as if I can somehow make Guy Cimbalo’s euphemism for rape easier to stomach.
Hat tip: Cap’n Ed at Hot Air
UPDATE: Jenn points out that Playboy has removed the article from its site. Here’s a screen grab of the first paragraph and first rating. (Click to enlarge.)
Once a man uses the term “hate-fuck,” you nkow that he doesn’t know any other kind even exists. ANY man ANYWHERE who understands or has ever felt that word well up from inside of him. Without exception.
Whoops, sorry. I guess denial doesn’t sit well with me.
Good God. That makes me feel sick to my stomach.
It’s official. The radical left has become worse than the radical right.
Women-hating is apparently with us and thriving in our mainstream press.
Just a quick update: the article has been removed from Playboy.com, but not before Guy Cimbalo wrote on Twitter: “the hate has already begun for my vile little épater — join in the fun.”
Can’t you just picture him beaming with pride, patting himself on the back in the certainty that by identifying as progressive, he has insulated himself from all past, present, and future accusations of misogyny?

-scary, really truly scary. This animal is not a rare, isolated case and in my mind, all the more reason women need firearm training. I’m not a lawyer but isn’t there legal redress here for the women he has assaulted with the written word??
goesh, he probably thinks that our concerted refusal to fuck him for his entire life leading up to this moment is already some kind of undeserved payback.

Just imagine the justified ‘Liberal’ outrage if say, ‘Hustler’ Magazine ran a disgusting parody where Rush, Hannity, Beck, Savage and Ann Coulter gang-raped and tickle-tortured Katie Couric, and then Nancy Pelosi.
Imagine. The outrage would last for months in the MSM. There would be calls for firings and boycotts. NOW would be apoplectic. Poor little outraged, hypocritical Libs.
absurd thought –
God of the Universe says
joke about raping women
if they are conservative
EVIL freedom lovers…

always rape women…
who are conservative
they’re just gender traitors

Believe you me, USpace, we already saw what NOW did when a fine and noble liberal woman was viciously slandered, and what the media did as well: NOTHING.
Liberal, conservative, no one cares. If you have tits, you’ve got a target on your back.
This is a bit off topic, but not sure where to post it:
We need your support to call out a blogger, Matthew Holt, on his blatantly sexist and misogynist comments. He uses the terms “pussies” and “girlie-men” in disrespectful ways.
Here are his comments on The Health Care Blog:
Title of his article: “By the numbers, on single payer the Democrats are pussies”
“Now before I explain why I say the Democrats are girlie-men, let me say . . “
ACTION PLAN:
1. Go to Matthew Holt’s blog and let him know what you think: http://www.thehealthcareblog.c.....mment-form
He needs to hear from a lot of us!
2. Please post also on Puma Responders!
Thanks!
P.S. The terms Holt uses above are misogynist and sexist however they are used.

I must have been watching the wrong TV shows, because I missed the stories about how women’s groups are outraged. I didn’t hear about the protests and boycotts. I didn’t hear about Al Sharpton getting upset and outraged.
Oh that’s right…these are ‘conservative’ women, so nobody cares. It seems that rape is pretty damn funny to those in media and entertainment.

Carrie Prejean deserves to have her crown. She is beauiful and is also entitled to her own opinion about gays. “
PLAYBOY publishing misogyny.
No fucking way.
GIve me a fucking break. Hefner’s whole magazine is one big hatefuckfest against women. Picking on this one article is almost–ALMOST–absurd.
Women need to stand up, put their clothes on, and start acting like leaders who want to change the world. And I agree with Luis even though I 100% support the gay/lesbian healthy lifestyle–Carrie Prejean should not have lost her crown for what she said.
Jennifer could you please clean up your language. some of us like to read the comments and thoughts, are angry just like you, but this offensive language is not helpful.
For many many men women are subhuman and nothing will change this perspective. playboy belongs to it. we need to recognize this. know your enemy. fury alone does not get us anywhere.
Did any of the so called women’s groups( ie NOW, feministing etc) say anything about this? If so I missed it ?
