There is amazing bit of irony to this little story. The author starts out with a highly judgmental critique of the unworthy generations that came before her and their treatment and depiction of women as made abundantly clear by the show, and yet ends her critique at least mildly positive because the movies finally showed her &quot;people&quot; --ironically epitomizing the very difference between men and women. Men typically are standing around the water cooler talking about things like the larger ramifications of a society of androids, or silly masculine things like who would win a fight between a Klingon and a Vulcan. Whereas woman want to know if the androids have families, and how the Klingon <i>feels</i> after being defeated by a pinch. As much as modern PC sensibilities want to whitewash the facts, women and men are different. TOS was created for a male audience. Women of that era had numerous soaps to enjoy catered specifically to their predilections. To be so judgmental and to miss the larger significance of the show, in my opinion, only goes to show the youthful ignorance and gender bias of the author, not society&#x27;s.
