How is "Bound" sexist?
By Nuclearmothman

While I will agree that Star Trek has had its moments of overt sexism, "Bound" is not one of them.

"Bound" is too lightweight an episode to bear up under this sort of scrutiny. It wasn't meant to be a sexual polemic. It was what it was, an homage to TOS, regardless of what O. Deus might think.

If fact, I would argue that if there is a deeper theme to "Bound" is that one should not look a gift horse in the mouth, as the horse may be plotting against you.

Seriously though, so the Orion women used sex (actually, their pheremones, to be exact) to get what they want. So what? They are a fictional creation, nothing more. To attach some larger social significance is sadly ludicrous and ridiculously pedantic.

In other words, get over it, you silly PC twits.
