    The year Crusher was gone was because Gates McFadden got fired from the show for advocating for her character to have more agency. Pulaski was intentionally written to be hated.

    Also, Yar’s whole back story was that she grew up on a planet of roving rape gangs.

      Was going to point out that this is more evidence supporting the statement of the writers not having any ideas of feminine conflicts beyond sexual assault. The last time I watched TNG, I’m pretty sure I said “what?..” out loud when she remarked on the rape gangs.
