The critique made is that popular shows on television are reactionary products of a culture that treats women as sex objects. The episodes of Star Trek critiqued in the journal are about how the feminist movement coincided with the sexist illustration of women in the television. Watching these Star Trek episodes will reveal how icons of American culture can express popular American ideologies. The text is concerned with two episodes of Star Trek (1968 and 1980). They both suggest in different ways an interaction between male dominance and separatist matriarchal society. This piece explores how Hollywood and its levels of hierarchy promote sexist television shows and how those containing women's issues are related to the feminist movement.
