"W-wow! Your first command! That's champion!"
* * * * * * * * * *
Darby isn't afraid to compliment a woman on succeeding. He's the real champion! I mean, obviously Penny is the real champion having been promoted to Captain of her own ship and not refusing it for six years like a huge sucker, getting fatter and fatter and more bearded until nobody respected Riker at all anymore. But Darby can be sort of a champion for simply being a decent human being and not a typical man. Here's a chart of the decency of men:
Despicable Average Decent Benevolent
<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
See how the average man isn't decent like you would expect? You would expect the base line of being a decent human being would be the average state of a man. At least you might expect that if you had never met a man and were an alien from another planet. But after seeing how terribly men react to things like women succeeding, you'd have to realize that just being a decent person and celebrating that news makes you better than the average man! Also notice that "Average" is much closer to "Despicable" than "Benevolent."
I hope I don't get my man card confiscated for talking about men like this! But really, we mostly suck. And yet I still love myself! So confident! And delusional!
