Alixus, the character who's in literally one episode? There are plenty of one-episode villains who are men. And, similarly with Kai Winn and the female Changeling, there are plenty of recurring villains who are men. The idea that three female villains over a 7-season show is evidence of misogyny seems really strained to me. I'm not even sure I accept the premise that female villains can be evidence of misogyny in the first place, but this definitely doesn't seem like a situation where that would even apply.

I have to say this really seems like a take that comes from outer space.

Right? Winn and Dukat were neck and neck for who was worse.

But Alixus was just so real in the way space nazis are not. You could imagine living next door to her. That is why she is Trek's worst bad guy.

It's more misogynistic, or at the very least sexist, if you have a good-sized number of villains and none of them are female. Either you think women aren't capable of doing wrong, aren't powerful enough to be a viable threat, or are uncomfortable with a female villain because unlikable women cross the line too far into unlikability: unlikable men are interesting, unlikable women are too offputting.

Some people just don't understand that benevolent sexism is still sexism.
Same when all the droves of mooks you kill in video games are all male.

Female villains who have a big impact on the plot and are regarded as powerful figures in-universe is something I usually enjoy in my fandoms...
