In reply to: Dark Star 's message, "Coming from a female's perspective" on 17:16:13 03/11/02 Mon

Her name I believed was spelled Ulhura, and if my Trek History is correct, the women in the original series were there cus Gene wanted the furture as where everyone was equal. The women were not just eye-candy, they were smart, indepentant, and just as capable of doing anything. I know that many of not all were lovely to the eye, but that may be a bit of the fuel to the thoery that Gene was a womanizer.

What I do know is that before Star Trek, women were always eye-candy in Sci-Fi. I've seen may old Sci-Fi, women were barely there, a secatary, maid, an airhead there just to scream at something. Though the furture was full of action and somewhat bright, women in Sci-Fi is always be picture as eye-candy or something eles than what they are. I agree with Dark Star, that women may be writen with a broad stroke just to make the writing easier. It's a pity that even in books, women are mostly as objects for men.

After all is said and seen, I believe I must argee with the writer of the Karma Sultra (I saw a show about it) when He says that women are a mystery, just when you think you know them, you find something new about them.
