See! I said that it would be impossible to know until the end that it was not set in the Discovery era if you didn't have outside information beforehand!

Wow! Those two girls punched each other hard.
Surprisingly brutal fight scene, I thought.
Dual ties! Tie-vests! Vest-ties! Transparent ties with gold coats! It really was cool
Fair point, though I personally don't see the issue with leaving the era as a question mark until the end. It's a common enough story telling device that I find more enjoyable than not.
Mileage clearly varies, but I see it as a nonissue, if not more engaging to find out the context of the Short Trek. I don't need to know everything from the outset.
Perhaps I'm a little sexists, but I always thought that two girls who fought inside a school would just push each other and pull their hair. They punched each other in the face. Perhaps they do boxing as an extracurricular activity?
PS. Sorry, I almost forgot: the ships which appeared in this short for 8 seconds ruined Star Trek forever and destroyed my childhood. Now I know that Picard will be an unmitigated disaster.
Now my post is compliant?
Yeah, you have to learn how to throw a punch. I remember when I was in high school (and fights were not common) many of the younger guys when they got into fights would just push each other into lockers, end up grappling each other, and it would sort of fizzle out.
Having seen both in school I'll let you know that girl fights can be brutal, and punches get thrown.
Honestly, girl fights are nastier than boy fights. They're like a fight to the death.
Human, yes. But not from Earth. Mars has been inhabited for long enough that most humans living there would surely be Martian-born.
Now I have two completely different answers
They seem to agree that girls fights are brutal and if you can't throw a punch you're in trouble
boys fights are not brutal
Probably not conciously, but your opinion of "boy fights" is probably shaped by scenes like the bar fight in Trek 09 (where Pine gets brutalised).
I don't doubt this, But you have lo learn how to throw a punch, otherwise you can hurt yourself.
This is true. When guys fight often it's merely to show dominance over the other person, meaning there's often more unspoken "rules" - and the winner can basically show mercy and walk away.
Girl fights are different - they are generally out to make the other person be in as much physical/emotional pain as possible. So pulling out hair, clawing at eyes - whatever it's fair game.
You still need to learn how to throw a punch though. Most ten year olds of either gender don't know this.
More and more kids are getting in to martials arts at around 8 to 10 years old, at least in my experience.
Regardless, I chalked it up to dramatic presentation.
You are going to hurt yourself regardless. Learning to throw a much just reduces that risk.
But, given how many teens I have worked with now who are threatening to punch and get in to fights there is knowledge out there. It might not be perfect knowledge, but the intent is definitely there. Also, boob punching and genital punching are not off the table either.
Ehi! Perhaps they teach Kirk-Fu during the P.E. period
Did anyone see a double handed ax punch?Ehi! Perhaps they teach Kirk-Fu during the P.E. period
If the adults hadn't broken them up, you would have seen The Rolling Thunder™ and the Tiberious Twist™ too!
