Conservative Women’s Group Condemns Hate-Filled Playboy Article

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun 01, 2009 -
National – Smart Girl Politics (www.smartgirlpolitics.org), a coalition of conservative women, condemns Playboy Magazine for publishing on its website the lewd and degrading article entitled, “10 Conservative Women We’d Love to Hate-F***.” The article, which was published earlier today and subsequently removed from the site, was written by Guy Cimbalo and contains repeated references to the author’s desire to degrade and humiliate certain conservative women based solely on their political ideology.

“The language used in Mr. Cimbalo’s screed was misogyny, pure and simple,” stated Teri Christoph, Co-Founder of Smart Girl Politics. “The vile nature of the article indicates that the author, and apparently Playboy Magazine, advocates violence against women with whom they don’t agree. The true feminists of today will not tolerate this kind of hateful exploitation.”

Smart Girl Politics calls on Playboy Magazine and Guy Cimbalo to issue apologies to all of the women mentioned in the article. Further, we call on all self-identified feminists to join with us in condemning attacks like this, which seek only to humiliate and degrade women.
