'Playboy' CEO Christie Hefner: Smut Peddler, Activist, Hero To Women?

The idea that Playboy Enterprises, a multimillion dollar company built on T&A, is run by socially-conscious feminist is enough to make Dworkians' and first-year women's studies students' heads explode.

But wait! As Butterworth says:

Um, boys don't produce semen until they reach puberty - and even the most precocious male is not going to reach puberty before leaving the womb. Nor have any actual baby boys suffered malformed reproductive tracts as a result of phthalate exposure.
