So, to reiterate Gar’s question: what is so bloody bad about Hustler, compared to other mass media, if our paramount concern is gender equality?

To paraphrase Zizek on why Slovenians were so outraged by the band Laibach: they reveal the hidden underside of something, which makes it scadalous. In Laibach’s case, it was the fascist/Stalinist aspects of Slovenian nationalism; in Hustler’s case, it’s being so out patriarchal?
