   As a woman, we all see flaws within ourselves and it’s important to embrace them, this is who I am. If you do n’t like it, that’s not really my problem … Playboy has never objectified women. It has only held them on the highest of pedestals. It’s given us a place and a platform to speak our mind. We feel we’re at home with ourselves. We have a place in a world that sometimes does n’t give us what we deserve … I do n’t think Playboy objectifies women.
