The discussion begins with the hosts and guest Kenna explaining the origin of the topic, including critiques of the requirement for women to be likable and concerns voiced in political and media contexts. The episode then considers examples such as Pulaski, Keiko, and Janeway, weighing how perceived emotion or toughness affects judgments of competence and leadership.","Women at Warp Episode 68: “Unlikable” Women of Trek  \nJarrah: Hi, and welcome to Women at Warp, a Roddenberry Star Trek podcast. Join us, as our crew of four women Star Trek fans boldly go on our biweekly mission to explore our favorite franchise. My name is Jarrah, and thanks for tuning in. Today with us we have crew members Sue;  \nSue: Hi, everybody.  \nJarrah: ...and Grace;  \nGrace: Hey, everybody.  \nJarrah: And we also have a very special guest from one of the other amazing Roddenberry podcasts “Priority One” and that's Kenna.  \nKenna: Hello!  \nJarrah: Thanks for joining us today. You actually suggested this topic which we're pretty excited about which is that we're going to talk about “unlikable” women in Star Trek.  \nGrace: Which is a likable topic.  \nJarrah: Yeah!  \nKenna: [laughs] I hope so.  \nJarrah: Yes, and we'll get a little bit more into that, but we have a little bit of housekeeping to do first. So first, our show is supported entirely by our patrons on Patreon. If you'd like to become a patron you can do so for as little as a dollar a month and get awesome rewards from thanks on social media to silly watch-a-long commentaries. We just finished one on “The Naked Now”.  \nGrace: It is a doozy.  \nJarrah: [laughs] Yes.  \nSue: That’s the TNG one.  \nJarrah: We feel strange, but also good.  \nSue: Mm-hm!  \nJarrah: You can just visit [patreon.com/womenatwarp and](patreon.com/womenatwarp and) hop on over there and support our show. Thanks so much. You can also support us by leaving a rating or review on Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. And that just helps people discover us. So thanks to everyone who's done that so far. And if you haven't, hop on over to where you get your podcasts and tell people what you think. Other housekeeping, Sue, do you want to talk about our plans for Discovery?  \nSue: Yes, it's a question that we've been getting a lot obviously is what we're going to do about Discovery. Weare not going to be discussing Discovery episodes as they air on the podcast. We're going to wait until all of season one has aired and then we'll do a season overview sort of like we've done with some other series like  \nDS9. And I think we did one for Voyager, yes? Yes. So that's the plan. So sometime in the spring we'll be doing that season one of Discovery. But Andi will be recapping Discovery episodes on Monday mornings as the  \nshows air. So if you'd like to get those recaps those will be on the Women at Warp blog [womenatwarp.com/blog](womenatwarp.com/blog) and we're hoping to also review some of the tie-in media such as the books and comics. So that will be on the blog as well.  \nJarrah: Awesome. And there's also a couple more conventions left. You wanna talk about those?  \nSue: Well, Grace you’re heading to Geek Girl Con, right?  \nGrace: I am. I’m afraid I won’t be paneling this year but I will be there to mingle and mix.  \nSue: And I will be at New York Comic-Con. I think they're either the same weekend or back to back weekends. I also will not be paneling technically at New York Comic-Con but I will be a Star Wars-ing it up with Saber Guild and Rebel Legion.  \nJarrah: Well, watch out for our Twitter during those cons and if you're not there in person you can also follow along with what we're getting up to. So that's great. All right. So let's talk “unlikable” women. So Kenna, can I start with you, about why you suggested this topic?  \nKenna: It's an idea that I've been kind of kicking around for a while and it was probably based on, I was listening to old Mission Logs and old Women at Warps talking about Pulaski. It started with Pulaski really, I didn't like her, originally, you know way back when, and it's funny because as an older woman now, I find an appreciation for her and I kind of started thinking about the idea of the fact that you know lots and lots of people don't like her, and actually women of my age now sort of seem to be coming to a consensus that actually she's kind of alright.
