I have loved Star Trek for decades as have many of my friends (women and men). I even taught a class with a red Star Trek uni and TNG bridge zoom background when my course suddenly went online in 2020. So yay…
LMAO. If you think this is true of Star Trek (or any sci fi), it is because you affirmatively pushed non-male Trekkies out of your group with sexism and you should work on that.
okay grandpa, let's get you to bed

I recommend reading this really powerful letter from MIT!
MIT rejects "compact" proposed by the Trump administration.
MIT prez wrote: it "would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution" and "is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."
