...though both made the same point: that Playboy objectifies women. The Playmate, one clergyman fumed in the early years, is ?the symbol par excellence of Playboy sex, for she may be folded when not in use ... the Playboy girl is detachable and disposable.? Benjamin DeMott denounced Hefner in the Jewish-intellectual magazine Commentary: ?In place of the citizen with a vote to cast or a job to do or a book to study or a god to worship, the editors offer a vision of the whole man reduced to his private parts.
