He sure did. Hefner did an lot to advance freedom of speech in this country. He fought a lot of the legal and social battles that paved the way for further advances over the 60's and 70's, and while his magazine did objectify women getting him into trouble with the womens lib movement (some say giving rise to it) it also broke through the last vestiges of sexual repression putting to rest the notion once and for all that good decent girls couldn't ever like or want sex.
