Hey, no one is saying that sexy=weak. It's also worth mentioning that at the time miniskirts were seen as empowering women, not objectifying them - a woman in a miniskirt was sexual in an active way, not a passive object of sexual conquest. Uhura is a sexy lady, sure, but she's a conscious, confident and active sexy lady, which was a rather bold and unusual concept in the 60s.

And your last sentence is probably the best possible argument in support of creating more video games that portray women as something other than sex kittens, disposable emotional support for main male characters, or helpless victims in need of saving.
Rule #137: Always waste time when you don't have any.
