Inconceivable!
Going back to the ERA for a moment I remember those times. There were a lot of scare tactics employed. Women were told they were going to be forced to serve in the military whether they wanted to or not, that there would be unisex bathrooms and that women who wanted to stay at home when their children were little would no longer have that choice. There were all kinds of things that were said which looking back is all rather ironic now. Feminists were seen as child-hating, man-hating crazies out to destroy the family.
I have also been told that there was no need for the ERA because women were included under the terms of the14 amendment. I am not a lawyer so if any of you are you can address that issue.

The 14th amendment was about giving "former" slaves complete citizenship now that they were not slaves, but the phraseology covers that every one born in America is an American including the freshly new born children of non Americans who are visiting.

It was brought up on the West Wing, yes, but it was also a real argument at the time. Wasn't stated quite so succinctly. The character of Ainsley Hayes was styled to be more of a Goldwater Republican (holding similar views as my dad, may he rest in peace).

Which is why they brought it up on the West Wing.

XKCD nails it. Milo has the right to free speech, Twitter has the right to enforce their terms of service and boot anyone who violates it.
One thing that Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 more or less got right, was the ability for the campaign and multiplayer to have female avatars, with realistic uniforms and body armour that was more or less identical to the male variants. I mean it must also be cheaper and easier for the game developers, making standard outfits and just tweaking them to make one slight variation on each.
Overwatch...is very hit and miss on the issue, but their respective armours have nearly 100% coverage and some practicality. So things are slowly improving.

Another point about gender representation in SciFI.
Typical sci Fi Male warrior and his IRL equivalent:
Now his sister-in-arms...
You're telling me women don't go into combat looking like that?!?
Stuff like that is generated by people who simply haven't grown up and had real world experiences. Unfortunately, the internet gives them an unlimited platform for that kind of non-sense.
There wasn't some negative reaction about a prereleased character pin-up..?

They had Tracer do a victory pose purely to show off her ass and it's not only out of character for her, it felt out of place in the lineup of poses for the victory screen.
The animators claimed it was never meant to go live, that it was just for the Beta multiplayer testing. Somehow it made it into the playable version, it was quickly replaced with the "correct" and final pose.
But someone at the studio made the more inapprorpiate one for their own purposes to begin with, yes.

From what I remember playing Knights of the Old Republic ages ago, the female outfits were pretty standard. There were a couple exceptions but I don't think there were any 'eye candy' characters.
I mean it's not much of an improvement either and ignores the whole theme of her character. She's the only one with a tight enough outfit to exploit that way, and it's the first thing they did.
Mercy's Valkryrie armour and Mei's arctic survival outfit are both too covering, and of course, they didn't even think of doing any kind of pose like that.
