    That’s funny because, at least according to a lecture Gene Roddenberry gave that I had on LP, that he originally wanted the ship’s crew to be half men and half women, but the executives made him change that because, “people will think that something’s going on up there!”

      Much more normal to have an all-male crew. Because rest assured, absolutely nothing would be “going on.” Nope. Nothing. And definitely not snoodling.

          It’s not just the navy. Was over a friend’s house and a friend of a friend stopped by already drunk. Was barely 10 minutes before he’s complaining about gays in his army unit. “You can’t have fuckin f**s around. If the boys are playing grabass the fuckin f**s are just gonna enjoy it. Fuck that shit!” Etc etc. Thankfully he moved to the kitchen to drink more.

          I’ve never heard so many unironic "America, fuck yeah!"s in my life, before or since.
