    I watched the episode recently where I think Dax is on trial for murder? And Sisko is waxing poetic about how he used to pick up chicks with Curzon (and can’t any more?) and then later he’s lamenting that if she were still Curzon he give them a nice punch in the mouth for being so frustrating (but now can’t punch his friend because she’s a woman)

    I don’t mean to demean the show or the character Dax, but it was definitely a window into a time where the creators either couldn’t or didn’t want to consider Dax still being attracted to women, but also that it’s totally normal to want to punch your male friends but not your female friend.
