On this episode we get back to one of our favorite topics, sexism in the Star Trek franchise. We spend some time discussing Eleanor Tremeer's io9 article "The Sexist Legacy of Star Trek's Progresssive Universe," looking at how women in Star Trek have been treated on and off the screen. It, uh, hasn't been great, but things are getting better! (We think.) We also talk more generally about how sci fi has sexist tendencies, and then we think about whether or not we look for media to represent us. Tangents include a discussion about which platform has a better music recommending algorithm.
