Awww, thanks for this 🥰

Statistically in Britain if you are a cis man and you rape someone you are overwhelmingly likely to get away with it, there is a vanishingly small likelihood that you will be convicted. That is a feminist issue. Trans women wanting to use women’s toilets or play women’s football: not so much.

Well, *now* I want one…

Yeah I’m with you- &don’t think Star Trek needs to talk down to its viewers, which sexy action revamps often seem to do. My favourite episodes are full of talking in rooms abt ethical problems- cf ‘The Measure of a Man’. They’re already considering complex injustices more subtly- I prefer that way.

I feel like Star Trek has had an increasing sense (since TNG) of questioning the motivations of Star Fleet & its limitations that reflects the writers’ sense of the US at the time. This could be a reflection of a (justifiably) pessimistic time, or just maybe a sexy Yeoh moneymaker…

This is spot on; there’s a difference between a collection that lacks intention or craft-graft & one that simply reflects the unevenness that characterises everything.

Besides, irregularity is a kind of beauty- resistance to the notion of ‘perfection’ that tries to keep us running ourselves ragged.
