Images that make you laugh

So, men and women are supposed to dress alike, or its sexist..er something? Often, its the ladies themselves that insist on showing a little skin.
On Star Trek TNG, the men and women did dress alike, except for Troi.
So? Maybe that was her (the character, Troi) choice to be a little different than the others. Or maybe the actress (Marina Sirtis) thought she should be kinda sexy and suggested a low cut top?

One question and answer among a larger interview (you can click next or back):
Did you have any input at all into what you were going to wear?

There were discussions about the wardrobe but they didn't involve the actors - well, they didn't involve me. I was just the clothes horse, and they put stuff on me. In those days, I was a tad heavier than I am now and getting my costume together was basically finding something that looked good - or looked not as bad as the other things.

I remember when I got the job, they said, 'You've got the job, lose five pounds.' And they were being generous, I needed to lose much more than five pounds. It was just a question of how the heck do we make her look half decent?

I was thrilled when I got my regulation Star Fleet uniform, or the regulation space suit, as we call it. First of all, it covered up my cleavage and, consequently, I got all my brains back, because when you have a cleavage you can't have brains in Hollywood. So I got all my brains back and I was allowed to do things that I hadn't been allowed to do for five or six years. I went on away teams, I was in charge of staff, I had my pips back, I had phasers, I had all the equipment again, and it was fabulous. I was absolutely thrilled.

Also, here:
Absolutely not within the canon: Deanna Troi wore civilian clothing in lieu of her uniform because as a ships’ counselor she could relate better to her clients out of uniform than in one. I figured since this objection was raised in the Memory Alpha article you linked, you’d have had the good sense to be aware of that argument without my having to mention it.

The real-world reason she was clad in this low-cut alternative was that they wanted her to be sexy. Marina Sirtis, who played Deanna, hated the low-cut clothing she wore in place of a uniform. The actor fought to get her character to adopt a standard Starfleet uniform. The writers accommodated her request eventually: the character was ordered to put one on by a temporary captain, and she never reverted to her old garb: Even after Picard returned. The in-universe explanation is that she decides to pursue higher rank and feels that additional decorum brought from a standard uniform would help.

This whole thing should be obvious and the picture was just a joke. No need to get political. Let's please move on to other jokes now.

So nothing. I was just giving you information that it appeared from your response you might not have had.
