Steinem was seen as a disgruntled bunny, a privileged journalist, and a snitch.
It was the stigma of being a Playboy bunny, she believes, that stalled her journalistic career.
Ms. Was one of the must successful magazine start ups of the times. Sure, she had help from her male friends at New York Magazine but Steinem continued to finance the venture for the next twenty years through creative means. This system of patriarchal government and money-driven media is something Steinem still rallies against. She continues to help with the editing of Ms. Magazine.

If she was a bunny, this means she used her body to get what she wanted and get her start in life.
