Things that make me happy. All the way back in 1987, during season one of Star Trek: The Next Generation, this show was imagining a time of such total equality between men and woman that they even showed a dress uniform (called a skant) that was considered gender neutral and shown on screen worn by both men and women.
It always saddens me that they chickened out and didn’t continue with this.
As with a lot of things, Star Trek had big dreams but somewhere someone eventually said no. Probably those people that sits on the money but have no creative vision whatsoever.
