is inappropriate and offensive. When are we going to stop
judging women on the basis of their body parts, and why shouldn't
she wear whatever the hell she wants?

During one of the seasons she *did* wear a dress/skirt thingy. It was much
more flattering for her figure, and I really wish they'd switch her back!

OH GOD NO! NOT ANOTHER TROI IS OVERWEIGHT THREAD! DIDN'T WE JUST HAVE
THIS CONVERSATION?
Whew! I feel better now. Brad, my dear, nobody wants to hear anyone bitch
about the characters weight! They're human, they gain weight, they lose weight
just like normal, everyday people. Are you perfect? If so, you have the
right to start this silly thread up again (for the 400th time this year!).
If not, can it!

It cannot be sexist to state the truth. If I were to observe that
"Tubby" Riker is slightly overweight, I would not be accused of sexism.
But by your reasoning, if I were to make the same observation about
Troi, even if she weighed 300 lbs., I would be guilty of a sexist remark.
How does this follow?

i did not write either of these but i think i should comment. how come we
can't make any comments about a woman on star trek, or anywhere else
without being called sexist or jeuvinille? first i think that the
majority of these observations are more than a little tongue in cheek
(pardon the pun) and they aren't really all that serious. and i dont
really think that it is sexist to notice the figure of a woman. i find it
hard to believe that all you people out there that cry out sexism dont
notice the butt of a member of the opposite sex, or same sex whatever you
prefer (lord knows i dont want to be branded a homophobe as well as a
jeuvenile sexist) why dont all you people relax and stop trying to be so
mature and politically correct. i have discovered that being politically
incorrect is much much more fun.

Actually, I've kinda grown tired of Troi's butt and her cleavage. When
are they going to show more of Crusher or that oriental nurse babe that
works for her. Hmmm, you know the two together would look nice...

weight that communicated the sense of disgust the above did. The
comment, "how about sticking a skirt on her" was particularly notable
in this regard. Have you ever heard somene say, "How about sticking
a jacket on Riker" to hide his tummy?

You may be right. But something about the tone of that post just got
my goat.
Chris Quinn
is average societal morals, the statement was not sexist, rather it was
"celulosist"--it was prejudiced against people with celulose in areas that
society has taught us makes them look "ugly."
That is why any statement regarding Riker's paunch is also a bigotrous(?)
remark.

I'm a woman, and I don't really consider it sexist -- I mean, if you don't
have a slender body, male or female, you should not be wearing skin-tight
clothing. So Riker, for instance, has really put on some pounds since the
first season, but the uniforms were changed and it doesn't look bad. Troi,
however, is always stuck in a skin tight uniform with a v-neck, which
is much more sexist than anything else, and I would be happy to see her in
something more like what other officers wear -- partially because her outfit
now is silly, and partially because she doesn't have the body for it.

What I've been wondering is why Troi doesn't have to wear a regulation
uniform like (most of) the rest of the crew. Has there ever been a
canon explanation offered to explain that? (And, while I'm on the
subject, has there been any explanation for Worf's seemingly non-regulation

Ah. Now *slenderism* rears its head. You forgot to mention this is strictly
your opinion. I personally think anyone can and should wear whatever they
feel like wearing whether or not anyone else thinks it doesn't *suit* them.

With my esteemed roommate's comments considered, maybe it is not the camera's
fault that Troi's {bird nest, hooters, butt, spleen} looks so big or that she
has two {hooters, eyes, legs, big toes}. Maybe it's wardrobe's fault for
dressing her in colors that tend to accentuate those features...

What about Tasha Yar? Surely by now everyone has seen Denise Crosby in

qualify.

The reason I have heard for her not wearing a uniform is that, as the
ship's psychiatrist (sp?), she also treats the families of the crew, and
that if she were in uniform, it might disturb both the crew and their
families when they go for a session.

Actually she's bustier in real life. On camera she looks like she's
been "straped down." See the Sherlock Holmes Episode _The Six Napoleons_.
She plays Lucencia (_well_) and is ...ahh...busting out all over...
