Yeah, the pilot is beyond problematic. They did try. A woman as the first officer was extremely progressive for the time. Unfortunately, they still had to sell a show.
You’re talking about people making and watching TV in the 1960s. I’m talking about a woman in the 23rd century finding out the hot captain doesn’t want women around and thinking, “he doesn’t want me around? He’s getting what he wants.”

Yeah. It’s gross. I won’t deny that. This was just a silly meme about Pike being ridiculously good looking.
I know, I was trying to be silly too. But it didn’t end up that way.
Being silly back and forth is a good chance to use the gif I just made.
An aside; Ted Danson does get pretty close to the Pikes in terms of charm.
Do doubt there.
