You young whipper snappers amaze me with what you do not know. The origional ST was about a future where men and women were equals...

Nope. Women were not equal in TOS. Women were specifically barred from being starship captains. The final episode of the series, Turnabout Intruder, deals with this.

Not true, either. Many crew members (sometimes for just one episode) had predjudices, particulary towards Spock.

Except for the wars that were fought with the Romulans (prior to TOS) and Klingons (during TOS).
