  • Homosexuality and the 1960S Crisis of Masculinity in the Gay Deceivers
    Why Don’t You Take Your Dress Off and Fight Like a Man? WHY DON’T YOU TAKE YOUR DRESS OFF AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN?: HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE 1960S CRISIS OF MASCULINITY IN THE GAY DECEIVERS BRIAN W OODMAN University of Kansas During the 1960s, it seemed like everything changed. The youth culture shook up the status quo of the United States with its inves- titure in the counterculture, drugs, and rock and roll. Students turned their universities upside-down with the spirit of protest as they fought for free speech and equality and against the Vietnam War. Many previously ignored groups, such as African Americans and women, stood up for their rights. Radical politics began to challenge the primacy of the staid old national parties. “The Kids” were now in charge, and the traditional social and cultural roles were being challenged. Everything old was old-fashioned, and the future had never seemed more unknown. Nowhere was this spirit of youthful metamorphosis more ob- vious than in the transformation of views of sexuality. In the 1960s sexuality was finally removed from its private closet and cele- brated in the public sphere. Much of the nation latched onto this new feeling of openness and freedom toward sexual expression. In the era of “free love” that characterized the latter part of the decade, many individuals began to explore their own sexuality as well as what it meant to be a traditional man or woman. It is from this historical context that the Hollywood B-movie The Gay Deceivers (1969) emerged. This small exploitation film, directed by Bruce Kessler and written by Jerome Wish, capitalizes on the new view of sexuality in the 1960s with its novel (at least for the times) comedic exploration of homosexu- ality.

  • Playing Bachelor: Playboy's 1950S and 1960S Remasculinization
    Playing Bachelor: Playboy’s 1950s and 1960s Remasculinization Campaign A Research Paper Prepared By Alison Helget Presented To Professor Marquess In Partial Fulfillment for Historical Methods 379 November 06, 2019 2 Robert L. Green’s 1960 article “The Contemporary Look in Campus Classics”, adheres to manifestation of the ‘swinging bachelor’ and his movement into professionalism. A college student’s passage from a fraternal environment of higher education to the business world demands an attitude and clothing makeover. Playboy presents the ideal man employers plan to hire. However, a prideful yet optimistic bravado exemplifies these applicants otherwise unattainable without the magazine’s supervision. Presented with a new manliness, American males exhibited a wider range of talents and sensitivity towards previously feminine topics. In accordance with a stylistic, post-schoolboy decadence, the fifties and sixties questioned gender appropriation, especially the hostile restrictions of the average man.1 Masculinity shapes one’s interactions, responding to global events as an agency of social relationships. Answering the call of World War II, men rushed to the service of nationalism. The homecoming from Europe forced the transition from aggressiveness to domestic tranquility, contradicting the macho training American soldiers endured. James Gilbert explores the stereotypes imposed upon middle-class men as they evolved alongside urbanity and the alterations of manliness apparent in the public sector. However, the Cold War threatened the livelihoods of men and their patriarchal hierarchy as the exploration of gender just emerged. In Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era, Elaine Tyler May notes the emphasis on family security amidst heightened criticism and modification, clearly noting masculinity’s struggle with the intervention of femininity and socio-economic restructuring.

  • Feminism Discussion Around Death of Hugh Hefner
    Feminism Discussion on Twitter after Death of Hugh Hefner Claudia Alessandra Libbi 4th Year Project Report Cognitive Science School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2019 3 Abstract Hugh Hefner - owner of the Playboy magazine and mansion - died in September 2017. His death drew a lot of media attention, since his lifestyle, values, legacy and role in society were highly controversial. While some saw him as a feminist and pioneer of female liberation, others believe that he contributed to the objectification of women by selling them as products. As a popular micro-blogging platform, Twitter provides a way to gain direct feedback from society and allows an estimation of the public response to events. This project provides quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data collection streamed from Twitter in the 10 days after his death. After filtering, the set contained about 460K Tweets related to Hugh Hefner. Using sampling and annotation techniques to get stance labels, it was possible to estimate that the majority of tweets, as well as users in the set had negative stances towards Hefner. The analysis also includes pop- ular topics discussed in relation to his lifestyle and death. The focus of this analysis lays on the opinion of feminist accounts and the main topics distinguishing Tweets supporting Hugh Hefner from those who criticize him. 4 Acknowledgements Instead of thanking anyone but myself for manually annotating approximately 3000 tweets in various languages (#oof my mistake), I want to share something more fun: When I was looking for readings and I came across Jon Ronson’s book ”So you’ve been publicly shamed” (which then someone recommended to me again, later) and felt that it was relevant to this research, so I borrowed it from the library and carried it around for any potential ’breaks’ I might want to spend reading for ’fun’.

  • Cosby Testimony Puts '70S Party Drug Quaaludes Back in News 21 July 2015, Byjohn Rogers
    Cosby testimony puts '70s party drug quaaludes back in news 21 July 2015, byJohn Rogers One thing is certain. The drug, outlawed in the United States since 1982, was hugely popular 40 years ago. People routinely swallowed it with their drinks at nightclubs from coast to coast. The 13-year-old girl with whom Roman Polanski pleaded guilty to having unlawful sexual intercourse in 1977 said the Oscar-winning director plied her with champagne and half a quaalude before raping her at Jack Nicholson's house. Polanski fled to France in 1978 to avoid a long prison sentence and continues to live there as a fugitive. Holly Madison, in her recently published memoir, "Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and In this Nov. 11, 2014, file photo, comedian and Navy Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny," veteran Bill Cosby speaks during a Veterans Day writes that Hugh Hefner once offered her a handful ceremony in Philadelphia.

  • The Golden Age of Porn: Nostalgia and History in Cinema Susanna Paasonen and Laura Saarenmaa
    Pornification 19/7/07 10:56 am Page 23 –2– The Golden Age of Porn: Nostalgia and History in Cinema Susanna Paasonen and Laura Saarenmaa The mainstreaming of pornography is indebted to the success of feature-length hardcore films of the 1970s. Shot on 35 mm film, productions such as Deep Throat (1972), Behind the Green Door (1972), The Devil in Miss Jones (1973), The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1976) and Debbie Does Dallas (1978) were widely screened both in the USA and internationally. These films have since been estab- lished as classics (Buscombe 2004: 30) and milestones in both scholarly and popular porn historiographies. While some identify the so-called ‘golden age of porn’ through North American legislation and as ranging from 1957 from 1973 (Lane 2000: 22–3), it was in the 1970s and early 1980s that porn shifted towards the mainstream. In a trend titled by the New York Times as porno chic, pornography became fashionable, gained mainstream publicity and popularity (McNair 2002: 62–3; Schaefer 2004: 371; Wyatt 1999). During the past decade, this golden age has been reminisced in films such as People Vs. Larry Flynt (1996), Boogie Nights (1997) and Rated X (2000), numerous documentaries – including the critically acclaimed Inside Deep Throat (2005) – and books.1 This body of popular porn historiography depicts the decade as one of quality films with real stories, personal performers and talented directors, in contrast to the 1980s of video distribution, inflation of the porn industry, rise of AIDS and conservative backlash. With notable exceptions such as the French Le pornographe (2001) and the Spanish–Danish co-production Torremolinos 73 (2003), European histories have not been reminisced to the same degree.

Burlesque, she says in an interview [http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/real-life/rave-reviews- burlesque-babe-rare-976512/] , gives her a way of communicating through costume, routine and dance – which she does with panache. What the audience can’t see though is the hearing condition that means she must work hard to follow the beat during her glamorous routine. A number of disabled performers have taken to the stage to entertain mainstream audiences in recent years, although in her routines Dollar (unlike some) does not refer to either her hearing impairment or her depression, which she writes about with candour and insight. The internationally famed multi-disciplinary performer Mat Fraser has long explored the relationship between disability, entertainment and sexuality. He is currently appearing in the popular US TV series American Horror Story. He said in a recent interview: “When you are disabled the two things people think you can’t do are fight and have sex…so I’ve got a black belt and I’m really good at shagging.

And with his silk pyjamas, bunny girls and private jets, he managed to have quite an impact on the modern world. As the founder of Playboy magazine, he revolutionised the imagery of heterosexuality in popular culture, changing people’s bedroom and courtship habits in the process. Gyorgy Toth Lecturer, Post-1945 US History and He may even have influenced the path of modern American politics. Transatlantic Relations, University of Stirling Hefner launched Playboy in the early 1950s, when the norm of American popular culture was depicted by images of wholesome families in the home by the likes of illustrator Norman Rockwell. It was a period when American society was experiencing waves of moral panic over the corrupting influence of comic books on youth. But while Disney was producing The Mickey Mouse Club on television, Hefner was taking young women barely a few years older than its star Annette Funicello, and publishing pictures of them, scantily-clad, in his magazine. https://theconversation.com/how-hugh-hefners-world-helped-donald-trump-get-into-the-white-house-84853 1/4 04/10/2017 How Hugh Hefner's world helped Donald Trump get into the White House With Playboy, Hefner legitimised the kind of photographic depiction of female nudity that had previously been the remit of privately viewed postcards or pinups in men’s locker rooms.

  • THE BRO CODE: How Contemporary Culture Creates Sexist Men
    THE BRO CODE: How Contemporary Culture Creates Sexist Men [TRANSCRIPT] FILM CLIP: Rebel Without A Cause -What kind of a person do you think a girl wants? -A man. -Yes, but a man who can be gentle and is sweet… -Yeah. -Like you are. (Music) THOMAS KEITH: I grew up in bro culture. Sports and music; both having one thing in common…treating woman like sexual objects. When I was young, I never thought about it as being anything other than normal. You know, women were here for our sexual enjoyment. Almost every guy I knew thought like that. And really has anything changed today? We churn out the same sexist male stereotypes that have been around forever. In this film I’m going to examine some of the contributing factors that keep bro culture sexist, and often dangerously sexist. And end by taking a look at things we can do to turn this destructive trend around. (Music) VOICE OF PETER FROM FAMILY GUY: Everybody is getting laid but me. KEITH: Tony Stark may be the most famous womanizer of our day, right up there with James Bond. He has all the ingredients, anyway: rich, charming, powerful. Men want to be him. FILM CLIP: Iron Man -You ever lose an hour of sleep your whole life? -I’m prepared to lose a few with you. (Music) KEITH: When you think about a guy who womanizes you usually think about a guy who’s constantly on the prowl for women, whose actions are perpetually directed toward getting sex. But there’s more to it than that.
