Especially rebooting every time a sequel underperforms

No, but I remember Pike quipping that he couldn’t get used to having a woman on the bridge; and the recurring female characters essentially being a nurse, a secretary and a phone operator; and the implication in “Turnabout Intruder” that women weren’t allowed to be starship captains; and “Turnabout Intruder” in…

I didn't understand the point about restraining orders. Yes, getting one can escalate to violence but... What's the alternative to that? Plus, say a woman follows the author's advice and doesn't get one. She will surely be blamed for not doing it if something happens to her 

Remember when Kirk said that a female crewmember would leave Starfleet as soon as she found a husband?

Glad somebody said this because I read the comment you responded to and was all “um... what?” I love Star Trek but there wasn’t much contemporary feminism in it.

it was gross boomer porn 

No, the skirts were short in Trek because despite the ‘inclusiveness’ talk, Roddenberry was still a horn dog.

I was obsessed with the 2000s ones a young tween which was a terrible thing looking back. I tried to re-watch the other day for nostalgia reasons and it’s super problematic/unwatchable. I think that one and the previous version were def for male gaze though. Like even though I loved the spies/wanted to be like them it…

Yeah, I agree with that stance for some purposes, but like... I suppose it was partly the way he wrote that particular bit, specifically as an aghast, “I’ll never understand why women would run with headphones,” that made me feel like, wait, seriously? You... really can’t understand that? Well that certainly calls…

Off topic, but I read that book on everyone everywhere’s recommendation and it... also felt kinda victim blamey at times? It was the bit where he was going on about “why would women run with headphones!” that eventually bummed me out, and that was on top of a bunch of other late 90s advice like never be drunk and…

Farrah Fawcett’s nipples agree that this was a show almost entirely for men.

Gladwell is assuming that if parents did complain, Nassar would have been removed. Hilarious!

You are right and I addressed that in another comment.  Ultimately, Charlie’s Angels was for men.  Jaclyn Smith was the classic beauty.  Farrah Fawcett was the ultimate pin-up girl.  Kate Jackson was the smart and relatable one.  The series was full of intrigue.  It was not made for school girls, but adult males.

It was known as a ‘jiggle’ show, so you are absolutely correct.

Was Charlie’s Angels ever really for women though? I thought the whole point was that it was super male gazey. (This is a genuine question; I’m too young to have seen the show.)

Nope. Copyrighted material cannot be taken for re-use without permission of both the original publisher and, usually, the interviewee.

She’s got a point.

He’s a sleaze who is known for his tireless defense of Joe Paterno. 

INSERT YOURSELF? are you serious right now?

Malcolm Gladwell is an insufferable ass. And he also completely mis-characterized Chanel Miller’s assault in this book.
