Spoiler Alert!  For the next 8 weeks, Amber and Paige will be talking about the newly released Discovery episode at the top of the show.  If you want to watch along with us and check out our discussion, feel free to start this podcast at the beginning, but if you want to just move on to the episode proper, skip forward to 14:10!

Today we talk parity in all of its forms: gender identity, representation, sexuality, and where we thought this conversation would begin- nudity.  Does a ripped Kirk shirt off set a barely-there, ingenue of the week space bikini?  Does more objectification of men make the objectification of women more palatable?  Does an episode about a non-gendered culture really speak to the diversity of the human experience, or does it show the cultural limitations of our perspective to even suggest that binary gender is something that all races in the galaxy would experience?  Explore these questions and more with Paige and Amber in this weeks' episode.
