Sir, If I recall correctly Kevin Myers was in the forefront of the campaign to enhance the choice of reading matter in this jurisdiction to include Playboy. As he celebrates the commercial success of the organ whose liberation he delivered, he cannot resist a swipe at the source of so much irritation to him - the dreaded liberal feminists for what he perceives as their prudish attitudes to pornography in general and Playboy, in particular.
By and large, feminists object to hard pornography for reasons which should be obvious, even to smug, misogynistic, diehard reactionaries. In contrast, they regard soft pornography such as Playboy as providing nothing more subversive than harmless entertainment for the emotionally and sexually retarded. - Yours, etc.,
