Seriously, this. Spock's Brain is a bad episode, it's campy and the plot is severe garbage. It's not a patch on the badness that is Turnabout Intruder.

Paradise Syndrome is a bottom-5 episode, but nothing matches the misogynistic badness of Turnabout Intruder - just as nothing in Trek, ever, will match the racist badness of Code of Honor. They are uniquely bad episodes of their series

Yes, the literal actual point of Turnabout Intruder is to portray feminists rebelling against gender roles as shrieking harpies who will inevitably fail because women lack the psychological capacity to handle men's jobs
