Must be a 'white male syndrome' thing
Yes, her outfit.
They would have never put a male actor though this, just to make him look sexy.http://www.thegeektwins.com/2014/11/5-horrifying-facts-about-seven-of-nines.html#.WMFvoKKmncs
At least Marina Sirtis didn't have to go though quite like this, although they objectified her, too.

Personally I very much doubt we'll see skirts in DSC. I think this show won't have as much of a retro feel that some people are hoping for.
In the 22nd to 24th centuries, human culture will have flashback moments of sexism as reflected in Starfleet female dress codes. Something about 'effective diplomatic relations' with the Orions was used as an excuse.
Good! Would make as much sense as dressing the crew in English Elizabethan clothes.
As I recall the constant change of clothing was for her betazoid personalityYes, her outfit.

Yeah I want them to do something modern and forward-thinking, not a throwback to 60's sci-fi.
Yeah, I doubt it, too. But I really wonder if they'll take some visual cues from TOS or just go the Enterprise route of doing things differently. Gritty and practical instead of stylish. Not sure I like that.
but they are marked on a timeline at that time wore miniskirts

I hope they go sleek and stylish. I really like ENT's aesthetic because I think it makes contextual sense. But I want DSC to be more futuristic.Yeah, I doubt it, too.

Sure, but that's the KT and it's separate from the tv shows. It's its own thing. And the creators of DSC can go anywhere and do whatever they want. They really shouldn't be beholden to anything other than their own passion for their story, characters, and aesthetic.
Yeah, apart from JJTrek we haven't seen stylish and futuristic Trek since TMP.
Say what you will about TMP but at least it was a real scifi plot and the set design was clean and stylish. Unlike all the navy in space nonsense we got starting with TWOK.
I will say what I will about TMP and it is this: It's amazing and beautiful and completely underrated.Yeah, apart from JJTrek we haven't seen stylish and futuristic Trek since TMP.
I put it as an example because that is the modern version of the uniforms of the 60s

I think that at that time those uniforms were transgressors were against conservative society. Time of female liberation. At this time is frowned upon because for the new feminism is to sexualize the woman etc
But Starfleet is The Navy in space...Yeah, apart from JJTrek we haven't seen stylish and futuristic Trek since TMP.
I know that the TOS female uniform convention was the skirt. Frankly I don't think that matters at all though. The creators of DSC should do whatever they want with the uniforms. Adherence to canon is, as I've said elsewhere, a straitjacket on creativity. A little canon adherence is fun and interesting. But too often it's just suffocating.
And let's tread lightly with blanket comments about what feminism is and what it means for female representation in media.
They didn't. This is the time of The Cage, women wore trousers in The Cage.
