Line 73:

** ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' It wasn't until here that one of the Trek series actually reached this lofty principle with a leading female character as Captain (although female captains and admirals did appear in ''minor'', one-shot background roles from ''[[The Next Generation]]'' onward. There was also the first female Chief Engineer, and a woman in the role of a prominent scientist (yes, Seven did other things than [[Ms. Fanservice|wear a catsuit]]).

** ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' has T'Pol, resident [[Ms. Fanservice]] and [[Number One]] at the same time. (Archer tends to ignore her, but that's more because [[Fantastic Racism|he has a chip on his shoulder re: Vulcans]], and [[The Kirk|ignoring your]] [[The Spock|Vulcan first officer]] is a time-honored [[Star Trek]] tradition.) There are also a number of women in the security division and MACOs, plus the captain of the ''[[Colonel Makepeace|Columbia]]'', Starfleet's second ''Enterprise''-class starship.

* [[Farscape~~|Peacekeepers~~]] practice a lot of [[Fantastic Racism]] and are usually played as kinda evil, but sexist they are not. Aeryn was a pilot, Grayza a Commandant, Xhalax a Senior Officer, etc. and whenever large groups are shown there are always plenty of females in the ranks. Aeryn does mention "female units" when explaining their [[Fantasy Contraception]], but there are far more examples of mixed units throughout the series.
