>>Posted by Chee-toy: 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.<<

Check out Forbidden Planet, Flash Gordan, and even space comics during the 30s and 40s. The woman was always the one that needed rescuing! Not all writers use this though, Asmavo(sp?) springs to mind as his women were quite intellegent. And while yes, Mr. Roddenberry wrote the women with intellegence and brains, not all of them were used equally. A number of them were bait for the good captian, and or other leads.


>>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.<<

Amen to that! ;) And I can also point out that sometimes women also paint men with a broad stroak too. Check out any daytime soap to see what I mean. While it's fun to see them all acting a certian way, some of it comes off silly, and makes you go...um, that's not how a normal guy would act.
