star trek tos: a summary

hey guys do u think it meant something when paul wesley was reading the spirk kolinahr break up comic in his introductory hello i am ur new captain photoshoot

Like. The coding of clothing changes throughout time. Many people felt, with the rise of hemlines from the floor within a single lifetime, that people of the future would barely wear clothes at all. Today, for some reason, it's more acceptable to reveal cleavage than legs, whereas miniskirts were everywhere at the time.

But the most important thing (I say to you, gripping your head in both my hands, tears in my eyes) is that the actresses chose those miniskirts, liked those miniskirts, hiked up those miniskirts, because that was what they wanted to wear.

Clothing does not, by its nature, have a moral value. I thought I left that behind when I quit going to church. Instead I'm more concerned about the agency of the woman wearing the outfit. She can be topless or she can wear hijab, if she's genuinely not pressured one way or the other, I'm happy for her!

There is a man in a minidress in the pilot of TNG! They felt it would repair the sexism people were reading into those outfits if it was clear it was a uniform option for both men and women. That in the future, we wouldn't have sharp lines between men's and women's clothes and it would be purely a matter of taste.

However, they didn't end up doing it again and the "skant" passed out of use until Lower Decks, when Boimler has one he says is required for a formal event.
