the fleet is obviously less than feminist I'm not sure I agree with this, at least as per the fleet at the outset of the series. The fleet is clearly masculinized, but I'm not recalling clear evidence of the fleet being anti-feminist.
I think the show's biggest problems with the portrayal of women aren't, however, due to some sort of structures within the society that it depicts, but rather in the depiction itself and the characters the writers created.
