It's fairly unremarkable, but pitching a young, ambitious, and female officer against serial sex pest Riker and making him the good guy in it gives me the heeby-jeebies.

Considering that the episode was prime time in 1990 and it gives you (as it would me) the "herby-jeebies" /is/ worth remarking upon.  What was standard or possibly humorous /changes over time/, and I think it is progress that we see certain interactions differently and negatively now. As such the story serves to make something the otherwise "progressive" Star Trek writers and production staff didn't see during their time.

Thanks for pointing this out.
