For me, it echoed real life, when someone with power over you wants something you shouldn’t have to and don’t want to give. It was uncomfortable, and I’m glad they did it.
Maybe comedy was the way they got it on air at that time. I seem to remember an article about the size of the bosom they gave Quark–much bigger than Moogie’s. I also seem to remember the size of that bosom decreases during the episode.
To be honest, I think there could be value in placing a man into a woman’s place in society, like so many Trek episodes do, but the more abusive part this time. It’s no secret that coercion and rape are all over the world of movies, TV, and business.
My problem with this episode is that they played it off as a joke. “Haha he gon’ get raped” rather than “jesus fuck is this what women have to fear” was never going to be a good take. I’m surprised they dared air this episode.
I find it quite funny in places in an old school farce kind of way. Like a Carry on Film in the Trek universe. Move Along Home can get deleted before Profit and Lace any day.

It wasn’t the liquidator, it was the CEO of Slug-O-Cola.
