    I had always interpreted that as Starfleet not allowing captains to be married, and also that she was also genuinely unfit for command herself. But looking into it, I see that apparently Roddenberry later stated that the comments did actually refer to women not being allowed to be captains. And that he had immediately regretted adding that.

      Yeah, that “if only” was a shit note to end the series on. “If only she could be content with being a second class citizen…” cheer trek, thanks for that
