Idk, Reed was messed up in a lot of ways (and it was proto Federation) so even if you play with that angle it’s not a reflection on chronologically later trrek series.
I mean half of earth in ENT was xenophobic as hell as well, does that condemn the rest of trek?
We are being terrible though and forgetting Vilix’pran, who not only canonically gave birth several times during DS9’s run, but he also got a promotion so six kids ain’t messing up his career. Also the crew were very invested in his family.
