“It has been our experience that women usually prefer thin, undernourished, flatchested females, dressed to the teeth, as a concept of "feminine beauty" -- and that men prefer exactly the opposite: voluptuous, well-rounded and undressed. The women's idealization of woman is actually a male counterpart, competing with man in society; man's view of women is far more truly feminine.” MenWellsHas BeensWomenViewsConceptsFemaleOppositesMalesTeethFeminineCompetingCounterpartsFeminine BeautyWell RoundedVoluptuous Author:Hugh Hefner
“Women have traditionally been either put on pedestals or damned as the source of all sexual temptation and sin. These are two sides of the same coin, since both place women in a nonhuman role.
