Edit: When I say “Center Right” I also mean relative to Ferengi society.

A small addition to my post, Gender and Sexual Orientation in FERENGI society from a few months back.

I caught this frame in the background of LD S4 E6 Parth’s Ferengi Heart Place, depicting an unclothed Ferengi woman.

This provides an interesting insight into the Ferengi social/political landscape of the Nagus Rom era. It suggests a center right that is fine with women traveling in public to some extent (maybe with limits, like it can only be with husband or father or out of necessity), but not them being clothed. This doesn’t seem to be that common, as most Ferengi women we see in this episode (including on the television in Boimler’s apartment) are clothed, but it seems to be a position that exists.

Honestly, I’d be interested in a novel (perhaps written from the perspective of an autobiography) or something about how Nagus Rom and Leeta survived leading Ferenginar the first few years and adjusted to such a different role from his engineering days. We could learn a lot about the Ferengi political system.

    Well it is the greatest work of literature put onto film ever, written by the most prolific writer in history who is a modern version Shakespeare, Garth Marenghi.
