“I felt that the [TNG] writers and producers could not escape from their own essential rigidity in their attitudes to women. They were continually featured as sexual objects, as softer, weaker, and therefore – it always seemed to me—second-class individuals. And because I believed and still do that the show represents what our underlying philosophies are, it doubly irritated me that in that area I thought we were failing.There is a kind of boys’ club about Star Trek, do you understand? It’s in the air all around the show, in the producers, in the front office, in the writers’ building. Our actresses were not finding sympathetic ears for the things they had to say, and I think at times they simply got exhausted by the battle.”
This clip is fairly old news in the Blogosphere, but I am going to post it anyways; I’ve always had a soft spot for Patrick Stewart.
Patrick Stewart swooning aside, what is important on this video is the message he extols. The unacceptability of violence toward women. He, as a survivor of a violent household, and he shares his insight on how violence wrecks havoc with family life.
