In Mad Max 1, one of the real bikers that was in the mlvie was actually Chris Hemsworths father.

To me it was the usual crap. Sexualize women and what better way to do that than to have skirts too short.

red shirts mean ... I think we all know

Es mi actriz preferida y muy talentosa e inteligente

Very impressive analysis! No wonder I love this show, so multilayered with attention to detail. Details have more meaning than expected, just like in Hamilton musical. Thank you for this!

Es mi actriz favorita . Hermosa talentosa y muy inteligente.

Miniskirts & hot pants👍

I don't get the anger. I'm a guy (OH NO) and I like looking at women's legs, smiles, eyes, shoulders, hands - you name it. I think women should wear what they want pants or skirt - their choice. I hate wearing ties and long sleave shirts so I get not all women necessarily want to wear the same thing. I do however wear those when I want to look nice. As for taking women seriously / as competent - I used to think that was the case but in the last decade the huge push towards quota hires pretty much makes me lean towards not competent until they prove themselves.

Thank you for sharing your perspective on Starfleet uniforms throughout the various shows. This is a good overview. As a man I appreciate hearing a woman’s take on the subject of uniforms as you brought up some topics I wouldn’t have thought of. Some things that occurred to me while watching: -T’Pol and 7 of 9 were both treated in an overly sexualised manner when it came to both costume and storylines. I recently bought ENT series on DVD and after watching so many episodes realised T’Pol was being attacked a lot and it was uncomfortable to watch the frequency. - never noticed the removal of rank w sleeve loss in women’s uniforms in JJ Abram’s movies. I didn’t love anything about those films except for the athletic material used in the shirts. On TOS It struck me as odd, as a kid, wondering how lady engineers would crawl around in Jefferies tubes or ladders in a skirt. Didn’t seem practical or discreet. I don’t recall any women engineers in overalls on TOS. I get it was the 60’s but credulity strained methinks. Thanks again for creating and sharing this video. See you “Out There!”

Clothes are best to give off what happening in game and movies depending on the genre comedy,action, romance, clothes sell what happing in the scene looking at dead island two the infected are heavily inspire by clothing people would wear in LA and depend wear you are in the game the infect will look different and then theirs 'all of us are dead' and 'highschool of the dead' they character are wear clothing suited for the setting which is schools uniforms then you look at 'San Andreas' characters all messy covered in cuts and bruises ash and dust after and earthquake, I thought these were cool points to bring into the table since wear talking about clothing in the last of us

The more i learn about Jerri Ryan's catsuit the angrier i get. I hate the mini skirts of TOS with a passion but at least they don't make the actors pass out

I thought this video would give interesting insights into the "seams" of the costumes. Instead by three quarters of the way through it bizarrely devolved into a highly dated 2020s woke era political rant about defunding modern day police officers. Needless to say this video ends up missing the mark more than the average stormtrooper.

Their fashion only made the movies look even cooler!!

Although this video's comments are largely valid in the context of today's American society. I cannot agree at all about the TNG character Deanna Troi. As the ship's counselor she was tasked with the ship's psychological well being but was no ordinary being but also an empathy so she had to be acutely aware of how her presence and appearance affected others. She alone of the ship's command crew could make her own choices of attire and in fact she was expected to make those choices competently. That's why how she was costumed were interesting choices, that a command crew member on a futuristic crew could and would choose to wear bodysuits that might suggest cleavage or display the female form and wear hair styles that might be considered attractive. Surely those choices must be intentional, are those choices manipulative or Innocent? Because as an empathy she surely must have been fully aware how her appearance was taken by each and every other crew member, guest and friend or foe

Nonsense. It's not empowering to wear mini skirts. They are not comfortable, as Nichelle insists, because women have to sit with legs tight together, which is not natural. Too much exposure.

3:52 the point you all need to take away is looking backwards at history and interpreting everything as oppression is a grave error. If you could ask people in the past their own thoughts on matters we read about, they may say they like the clothing, or they are fine with the situation and even that the things we today see as sexist or racist or classist were at the time seen as modern and a symbol of equity.

Now I wanna see her with smallpox makeup.

The saga is really about Ripley rejecting the idiotic mandates of the corporate bureacracy that has no concern for their safety. This deliberate rejection--and teaching others to take the initiative--is what the story is really about. Those offerings that dont develop this theme and arc--or that do so poorly--never make it. An alternative arc would be government bureaucracy pretending to step in with safety regulations only to drop hints that government and WUC are in league.

If women aren't going to be wearing mini dresses in the 23rd century, then what's the point of carrying on civilization?

I overall liked the video, but you ruined it at the end. No, it is not a bad thing I and many men choose not to dress in a feminine way. Do not try to be so inclusive that you go the other way and pressure people to dress in a manner they do not frankly want to. But also, why did you imply that the only way for a man to be expressive in how he dresses is to be feminine? "By contrast, their male counterparts look far more conservative." How is dressing masculine equal to dressing conservative? The mask slipped there. I choose not stand out by wearing a dress, but by growing a moustache; I remain masculine while being self expressive (much like a certain character in Strange New Worlds). I'll stop beating around the bush: I'm a man who takes pride in being masculine - do not try to imply that is a bad thing; just as it is not for a woman to be proud to be feminine. We're all individuals. You're making a video about Star Trek and used a fantastic quote by Nichelle Nichols and still missed the point: we're all individuals and should be able to be proud of that - including masculine men.

I don't have a problem with men wearing skirts, but the ones on ST were designed for women and looked odd on men. Scottish kilts look masculine, and so do Roman tunics. A few feminine looking men are OK, but most want to be masculine.

Why are we bringing politics into a storm trooper design breakdown?

I dont get why this isn’t discussed as much. I really wanna get to fashion that’s always ready for survival

Adam Savage's Tested does an awesome series of videos from on the set when he did a cameo. The small details in the costumes are amazing

There is nothing wrong with what they wear in star trek

Everyone has such great hair. So much gritty realism.

Militarized police, in fact, act WORSE than military. Most people in the military are shocked at the lack of discipline and any kind of 'rules of engagement' in over-militarized police forces. Compared to the military, over-militarized police are more like bully children that got hold of their daddy's gun. Police themselves often refer to non-police as 'civilians' - as if they are not civilians. This should be corrected. The special thing about our society is that we are policed by CIVILIAN peace officers - our neighbors. If you ever hear a cop use that word, remind them that police in America are civilians. But yes, the point about stormtroopers in the public consciousness is true. While it is fun to dress up and 'play the bad guy' sometimes, too many kids and young adult fans today idolize the stormtroopers as some kind of romanticized model to aspire to. This NEVER happened in the 1970s. It happens today because our country (and much of the world) has been undergoing a dramatic rise in fascist thinking and influence. It has been so subtle that kids today who grew up in that fascistic society look at Star Wars have genuine questions about who the bad guys are, wondering if the rebels are 'terrorists' and other nonsense. It shows a great amount of confusion clouding people's understanding of the proper role of the military and the police in a democratic society.

The strange thing about all of this is, depending on the issue, we promote "neutral" to equalize everything...even things that are difficult to equalize, yet we also promote being different and show individual self. In some ways, it is very cool that the ladies of the day took this issue upon themselves and expressed their ideas of strength and femininity on public TV in the 60s style. That look/attitude was more prevalent on the coasts in the cities more than other places in the US. Personally, I just want people to look sharp on screen. Gender-neutral doesn't have to be boring (I hated the TMP/TNG uniforms, men and women). They still feel very sterile to me...which they are objectively. The modern Treks are a bit more imaginative and creative. In reality, if there is going to be a space-faring time in human history, it will be built along the lines of a military organization simply because the tech/knowledge/training required is going to be very formal and conservative. Every mission will be well-defined. Uniforms will be more practical than stylistic. Shortcuts can't be taken on intellectual or physical capabilities. It's going to be a job more than a cruise. When I saw TNG's holodeck for the first time, I thought it was cool initially. But later, I was wondering why the crew spent so much time playing rather than exploring. On the space shuttle, the astronauts trained for years and years to perform their onboard (or in-space) tasks. Repairs, maintenance, scientific experiments, whatever. I live a civilian life, so it is obviously more fun to watch scifi than work in a submarine.

I think only imperial stormtroopers are able to get a warm welcome nowadays because first order stormtroopers after the German dub of the force awakens star killer base speech became a well known thing have now been seen as well nazi soldiers in space

Lots of talk, but misses the point of the title.

Of course the most rewatched part of the video is the aerobics scene where Crusher lady bits are eating her clothes. Must have many men of culture here.

There should be a Masturbating Scale for each star trek series. Would be interesting to see the results. 1-10, 10 being the highest.

I live for the day when Starfleet comes up with an actually practical uniform with -- pockets.

What a very nice and agreeable review, I am sure you have done your internet research.

Starfleet is supposed to be a military organization, and miniskirts have no place in a military organization!

it's insane how flamboyantly gay this show is

my favourite character has to be marco, for the bisexual swag he exudes in everything from the way he sits to how he dresses. this show did a fantastic job with costuming

i could listen to Gav talk about disney princesses for weeks

Rebecca Romijn gets it ... I love how an Discovery The character of number one from the Jeffrey Hunter Christopher Pike version was reading stalled I hated that Majel Barrett was demoted to nurse chapel When she played number one I imagined even in the Cage Episode I saw that this character would soon have her own Starship as Captain I was so pissed when they try to write her out in a few other characters including Spock have shortsighted Paramount was! Also glad to see her character back and I feel she was going to be something special and someone to be reckoned with I was so excited and so disappointed that it didn't go for more Seasons I don't understand it to me this of all the spin-offs This is one of the best ones My favorite since the Captain Kirk version of Star Trek I've liked the others but like is the key word I never was more impressed until Discovery, Strange New Worlds! Though I really dislike the episodes of the fairy tail Renaissance episode as much as I love the Renaissance faire lol I thought it was demeaning to the captain and too many of the other characters I really really didn't like that episode and I don't understand why they feel a need of so much gore I mean I don't have a problem with Gore when it came to movies like braveheart and the battle scenes were authentic depiction that you did drenched in blood I don't feel that necessary with Star Trek I think it's Overdone! Don't we get enough of that with these zombie movies Thank God there's not a hundred flashbacks and people throwing up every episode two or three times!!!

So I agree about the sleeveless uniforms of the female crew The miniskirt is not sexist Every woman I knew growing up were in a mini skirt felt it was liberating They felt a sense of confidence and strength and declaring who they were in their freedom You women today have got us perspective It's not anything close to women that I grew up with donning the mini skirt We just weren't handling up on it like you guys are today!

I couldn't agree with you more that JJ Abrams didn't know what the f*** he was doing with what Star Trek really stood for especially since it was depicting the 1960 version of Star Trek I never have understood why every spin-off that introduces the Spock character is always so spot on to the Leonard Nimoy's version of Spock but Chris pines direction on Captain Kirk / William Shatner's version wasn't even close! He's a whiny little punk or Shatner's version is a man And what a man should be I've always said Chris Pine should have played Captain Kirk as he plays just about any single given role he plays other than Captain Kirk in Star Trek! And this non-stop alternate reality I was so sick of it would have been interesting for one two at the most but the whole series What an insult it was to the fans who grew up watching the original series with the original cast Why couldn't the new cast do just as good a job as playing their parts as they were meant to be played by the original actors of the original series What a letdown and what a disappointment none of those guys looked or acted If not for giving them the names of Scotty and sulu and uhura you never would have known who the hell they were supposed to be playing!

I love the character 70f9 and how she evolved from the Borg if she was to this beautiful and gorgeous woman who could TCB ... Take care of business and how aloof and untouchable she was for so long until she became approachable and allowed those to approach her until then forget about it and I did! And as much as I loved Mulgrew's depiction being more like Kirk than Picard I have to admit Jeri Ryan made me Want to make sure I didn't miss an episode of deep space nine lol

I believe the people of this era and generation are much more uptight than the people of my generation which was the 1960s ... Get a life!

I feel a lot of your politically correct women of today and criticizing the uniform worn by the women and men in the 1960s series You guys are just way too uptight I mean of course we noticed the beautiful legs on many of the crewmen but that was an afterthought And for me and many of the guys and gals that I watched the series with We didn't get caught up on the uniform as we did the story The adventure and how the men and women executed their task The command their goals that objectives That's what mattered You guys are making too much out of nothing!

Always hated those mini skirts! I was 8 when they swept the world. NO one could wear them gracefully!! NO ONE!!!

The downfall of the sexual revolution back to puritanism of the middle ages 😆

The mythical “male gaze”. Okay, Jess Bush looks super attractive in iridescent white uniform.

Das war einfach die Mode der damaligen Zeit. Deswegen wurde das so gemacht. Auch die Enterprise spiegelt den technischen Stand der damaligen Zeit wieder. Deshalb auch Knöpfe statt Touchscreens

That's an excellent point on how the Patriarchy and toxic masculinity has pigeon-holed men in to a narrow band of self-expression.

Ridiculous. It's about ratings. Where's the fat people?
