Wow, look what I started!
A discussion! Wow!
Quote:
Obviously, I was speaking from the point of view of someone who holds up the ideal of gender-equality as a matter of common sense... but of course I recognize that that standard still has a long way to go in terms of implementation.
I actually complimented you on your efforts, but then you were afraid of me, so you missed it. Oh well. ;-)
Quote:
So, no... I wasn't trying to pretend that differences don't still exist... just that while the notion of a female starship captain was virtually inconceivable in 1969, today (as made evident by this upcoming episode) it is not outside the realm of our imagination. And while we're not there yet, it's at least a nice step forward.
I merely used your post as an opening for an exposition piece par moi, but oh well again. ;-)
Quote:
I'm going to continue to think of the Federation circa 2269 as a time when humans are sufficiently advanced that Starfleet would be happy to have female captains if not for some unforeseen outside factor such as the hypothetical one I suggested.
Which, if one had to bandaid something, would be plausible.
I mean, we have seen this sort of thing covered before - most notably in TNG (eg., the obvious TNG "Angel One", where Deanna Troi is sent down to head an away team delegation to speak with the head of a matriarchal society). It's the old "cultural thing" issue. And many Human societies have their own "cultural things" as well, including behavioral "norms" when dealing with gender. And the U.S. is right there in the thick of it. ;-)

"I think the show talked to people through the characters. They're stories that speak to the heart. They talk about love, they talk about friendship, they talk about loyalty, they talk about patriotism, exploration, curiosity, reaching out... And I think all those things still touch people. Even when you look at a 30-year old show, it still has something to say." - D.C. Fontana, Sci Fi Channel Special Edition TOS 1998

"If the season finale involves the re-built USS Reliant coming back in time to the 21st Century crewed by Moogie, Dr. Selar, Morn, Transporter Chief Kyle, and the Salt Vampire, then we'll know that Coto has gone too far." - tomba1701
