The classic 1960's Star Trek also included male-female gender roles that look fairly quaint today.

They were radical then. "You've come a long way, baby" and the original Star Trek was out in front leading the way.

True, Star Trek did much to promote greater roles for women. But in regards to ST-TNG's first season that showed en in what I assumed was ment to be an optional Star Fleet uniform putting skirts on men, I am glad not all their tweeks on gender differences were not successful in the long run. Those uniforms vanished very quickly.

Perhaps they did a screen test showing Worf battling on the holodeck wearing one, or Picard sitting in his captain chir trying to look dignified in one (after ajusting it as he sat.)

I like Trek, but it can be strange, yes?
