I want to like this, but I don't.
I am both _very_ into Star Trek (not sci-fi, but specifically Star Trek) and female, and it's been impossible to connect IRL with any other women trekkies, so when this male-dominated segment of my life suddenly had an opportunity to hear from other women, I was very excited. The problem? It's not just women talking about Star Trek and philosophy from their perspective-it's women talking about identity politics. It's "feminism". It's women who define "feminism" as a catchall movement for everyone who isn't a straight white male. And YES, Star Trek is about the human condition, and the philosophy behind the stories that create allegorical narratives should be discussed. But whyTF can't we just have a podcast with women talking and being listed to simply because they like Star Trek? I don't want to hear "Women Who Identify As Social Justice Warriors That Happen To Find Star Trek A Vehicle To Promote Their Agenda", I want to hear "a thoughtful podcast about Star Trek's deeper layers of social philosophy hosted by women". If you don't understand the difference, then that's a dead giveaway that I am not going to G.A.S. about your podcast content.Read full review »

I sincerely can’t tell if they like Star Trek, hate Star Trek, or something in between. Do they like being attractive, hate being attractive, or something in between? Do they like strong female characters, hate strong female characters, or something in between? Overall a negative take on what...Read full review »
