Star Trek and Females

I know the various Star Trek series have also a female audience, besides male.  But some women who are not used to sci-fi are confused about the franchise.  They don't realize Star Trek is a dramatization.  It is not meant to be a realistic portrayal of life in space in the future, or of future history.  Producers don't want to bore children with reality.  (Though, I think that the reality of space is not boring.)  Other sci-fi shows show more realism, such as The Expanse and the Alien franchise, maybe.  Star Trek portrays a universe which is crowded with strange beings and is a hive of activity.  I often write about space and the future in English and Tagalog, and my portrayals engender loneliness, sloth, and languidness.  I have viewed Japanese anime shows, and they portray a much longer perspective of time than Western shows.  Women should note that reality may be stranger than fiction.
