a teeny bit. Like that yellow polka dot bikini in the song.
(which is to mean not really :eyebrow:)
Well, she’s not property, YET. :rolleyes:
But it is her sole purpose. She was bred for exactly that reason.
We can’t judge an alien culture. She certainly isn’t being forced into the arrangement.
“how can you deliver her into a life of virtual prostitution?!”
OK Beverley is just saying what I am thinking. Screw the prime directive…
See Beverley’s argument (she’s been conditioned by that culture)
and good thing I managed to be here for this one, lol. lots of me being annoyed!
Now what will Riker be doing in Holodeck 4, eh? 
We need more judging.
And now not only do we have the culture treating people like essentialist crap, but we also have the intimation that the woman is manipulative and provocative! please, let us reinforce negative stereotypes of women’s sexuality, shall we?
ugh.
oh, Data.
“extremely rude behavior”
I’m with him.
Not to change the subject, but it was interesting listening to the GWC podcst today. Audra was asked to decide where she would like to go back in time to—when and where. And it was hard for her to pick because she couldn’t think of anywhere or anywhen that a woman wouldn’t be treated like crapp.
Sad comment on the human race and our progress.
Let’s get our act together humanity. 
No, homosexuality has been eliminated from the space-time continuum of the TrekVerse. :rolleyes:
You can’t have it both ways. Either she’s an independent person with her own desires, or she’s a tool of her culture.
“I said a visit. I didn’t ask you to make love to me.”
…although that’s not out of the question. 
Manipulative like all women 
And here’s the key to seduce Picard - archaeology!
Yeah I think BishopMontanha made a comment in the thread about being an educated black man being another limiting condition. For that reason, I’d want to either a) be able to be in someone else’s body (though that’s a bit squicky) so I could pass as a privileged class, or b) go to the future.
She’s both. We’re all conditioned by our culture - sometimes we can fight back against it, though 
… where’s that slapping emoticon…
Um. Hello? Where is Troi. Please tell me she’s not at the helm.
She could be helpful here.
that was not a fall that would do him that much damage…
Ahh!! Slapping. I see you are well trained in the art of Klingon seduction.
In all fairness, it’s a description of HER aspects. Just because she personally represents stereotypical behavior doesn’t mean that it’s not a valid expression of her womanhood as she sees fit to express it.
There were ancient goddess cults all over the world thousands of years ago. Matriarchal societies are certainly not unknown throughout history.
I’m sure. I guess people aren’t generally aware of those. Not taught about in the HISstory books.
