In the history of empire, women were always there because, quite simply, the men could not manage without them. Worldwide, secure and long-term settlement was virtually impossible without female workers; the first governor of the Cape Colony, the Dutch colonel Van Riebeck, was horrified at his men's inability to tend cattle, make butter and cheese, or to do anything for themselves. An immediate draft of girls from orphanages in Amsterdam and Rotterdam had to be ordered to supply the deficiency. England, alerted by Bacon, recognized the problem from the outset—the London Company responsible for the successful foundation of the Jamestown settlement in Virginia systematically dispatched to the New World "young women to make wives," to be "planted" alongside the men. These had to be "handsome and honestly educated maids," and "specially recommended into the colony for their good bringing-up." But neither their looks, education nor upbringing were to save them from being treated like the merchandise they were, and on arrival in Virginia they were "sold" for 120 pounds of best tobacco, the equivalent of $500 apiece, and thereafter committed to the colonists who took them, as servants or wives, for life.

Quote

"Women, wake up!" called [Olympe] de Gouges. "Recognize your rights!" Scornfully, she exposed the blatant new oppressions brought in by the self-seeking revolutionary males: "Man, the slave, has multiplied his strength...Once free, he became unjust to his companion...What advantages have you (women) got from the [French] Revolution? A more open contempt!" With sarcastic reflections upon "our wise legislators," de Gouges urged women to "oppose the force of reason to man's empty pretense of superiority."

The most relatable couple in all of Star Trek.

We need a new series featuring the adventures of the O'Brien family!

“Wife-work comprised all the tasks that women had to do for their husbands, of a physical, sexual and often gorge-rising nature. At its highest, wife-work meant tasks that fell upon women only when they were married, because no matter how poorly off husbands were, they needed to have somebody below them, as in this description of a struggling peasant community in primitive Auvergne, France:

‘[The wives] go to bed later than the men, and rise before them. If snow has fallen it is up to one of them to clear a path to the fountain. Deep—sometimes up to her waist in snow, she will go back and forth until she has flattened out a passage for the other women. A man would think himself dishonored if he went for water himself; he would be the butt of the village. These mountain rustics have the deepest contempt for women and the despotic disdain of all wild, half-barbaric tribes. They look on them as slaves born to do all the chores which they consider base and beneath themselves.’”

The most frustrating thing about how they wrote Keiko and Miles’ marriage is that Rosalind Chao and Colm Meaney have such genuine chemistry! They’re so cute together! They’re believable as a couple! But then DS9 gives them the worst 1990s heterosexual marriage tropes, and it’s painfully clear that the writers didn’t care about Keiko’s character in general. I get why people write them getting a divorce post-DS9 but at the same time these two were wasted on shitty misogynistic writing and they absolutely could’ve had a happy relationship.

#rosalind chao you were wasted on these scripts #ds9 #star trek ds9 #miles o'brien #keiko o'brien #its also why i cant get invested in j*les as a ship #so much of it is rooted in the writing no-homo-ing julian and 90s-husbanding-miles #keiko! is right there! writers??? HELLO????#each st series shows its decade and keiko/miles rly date ds9 unfortunately

yeah yeah O'Brien must suffer and everything but really, the real tragedy here is that when we meet him and Keiko he thought he put the war against the Cardassians so far behind him that he hadn't even talked to his new wife about his experiences at all. And then he makes a career move to develop the only positive thing he took away from that war and Setlik 3 - his love for engineering - and gets thrown back into that same conflict with the Cardassians, that actually never really ended, and that will overshadow his relationship with his wife and whole family forever now. Poor guy.

#just rewatched 'the wounded' and that is such a great episode #they perfectly set up a whole new alien species and seven seasons of tv story telling in one go #i'm convinced colm meany's performance here single handedly made them consider O'brien for ds9 #(and Marc alaimo as well)#star trek #tng #ds9 #the wounded #miles o'brien #keiko o'brien #colm meaney #rosalind chao #marc alaimo #cardassians #mp
