I'm watching Voyager and maybe this explains why it's my favorite. Tng is better in so many ways.
She's definitely not wrong, but the constant comparisons to Picard don't help. Making this about one of Star Trek's best series vs one of its absolute worst series is a weird choice.
I enjoyed Picard more than I thought I would
I'm glad you did, and I'm not here to invalidate your opinion. I just thought it was atrocious.
felt that creator Gene Roddenberry had some unenlightened ideas about women
I can't help but suspect that men with "enlightened" ideas about women in the 1960s were still fairly rare, especially for 2020s values of "enlightened". For Hell's sake, we still have people who think women's suffrage was a mistake, and a Supreme Court that decided that it was a good idea to make women's ownership of their own bodies (particularly their reproductive organs) once again subject to the whims of state legislatures after 49 years of protection under Federal case law.
(And I blame the Democrats; these assholes had 49 years to ram through a Constitutional amendment or at least solid Federal legislation guaranteeing a woman's right to decide when and if she would have children.)
