Re: 'Sigh'...A feminist review of Star Trek XII
If this matters to you, you don't have to expend enough energy "looking for shit" to get tired (of the looking). It's right there in front of you.
Saldana certainly carried off the underwear look more successfully than Pine did. Skinny boy.

I think the easiest way to even things up is to have Spock and Mc Coy in their underwear for the sequel.

Re: 'Sigh'...A feminist review of Star Trek XII
I'm a "lady" and I couldn't agree with her more. Uhura is finally given a more prominent role and sadly that role involves kissing and stripping.
It's all business on the Enterprise for me...I don't want to see the days of our lives on the got damn ship. I'm glad that there wasn't too much of it in nuTrek or else I think I would have a very different opinion of the movie.
I'd like this plot "element" ...IMO filler... removed for future installments...thank you.

What can you do?
Men and Women are like 2 different species entirely when it comes to motivations and what goes on inside their respective brains.
Abrams gave men what they want. Personally, I would love to see what an Orion SLAVE girl (as they were originally portrayed in the 60's!) looks like wearing nothing at all, but this is Star Trek, not Stud Trek. I wonder if that Eddy Murphy joke is true.
As for the chix point of view, I have no idea - did they get turned on by Spock doing his duty? Do they like Kirk being the Bad Boy and starting a fight in a bar with guys bigger than him and only losing due to superior numbers? Maybe Uhura was only asking them to stop the fight because she thought it was required of her, but she wanted to see the fight go on? Isn't it a turn on for chix to see men fight over HER, and then SHE has the final word in accepting or rejecting the winner???
Seems to me this version of Uhura has alot more power over Kirk instead of the other way around. Let's remember that in that afore-mentioned "first 'interracial' (what, one of them wasn't a HUMAN?) kiss" Uhura was whispering about how she was thinking about taking courage from Kirk whenever there was danger on the bridge...
In the end, only chix can say how they feel about their portrayal in movies. I think only chix should write their responses and motivations in the scripts. I've read female written, female dominated stories - they are absolutely horrible for me. What good is it if men-centered "Iliad" adventures are the other way around for them???
All in all, if you're gonna give men the underwear scene, give chix a buff Capt. Kirk like they did in the 60's.

Re: 'Sigh'...A feminist review of Star Trek XII
Where are the complaints about Kirk's mini-chub with the Orion girl?
Good grief what nonsense. This puritanical streak is alive and well in the 21st century. At least in the U.S.
And her underwear looked like Soviet-issue Victor's Secret from the 60's, for crying out loud.
Unbelievable.

Would have loved to have heard Chekov say that 3 times fast.

Well, boys will be boys. When everyone in the writing room and the producers' offices are (mostly young) guys, this is what you get - whether it's T'Pol and Trip rubbing one another down or Intendent Kira tongue-wrestling with every hot chick in the galaxy...

Sex sells for men and women. Women just typically don't want to admit. (because soaps are watched only by men, millions of them, all the time...)

This argument might actually carry some weight if there wasn't far more eye candy for the women in this movie. They made McCoy and Pike handsome men (when they weren't in the tv show--- at least The Menagerie's radiated Pike). It helps that the two leads are both gorgeous, too.
