Kirk Worrying That He Objectifies Women

This is a legit Star Trek comic book excerpt where Captain Kirk is worrying that he might be objectifying women. This is from Star Trek v.2 #7, DC Comics, April 1990 by Peter David (writer), James W.

Meanwhile, Blaise smokes out Kirk’s sexism and rather than throw her out an airlock, he opts to bring teach her about a captain’s responsibilities first hand, by inviting her on the next away mission. That mission involves the evacuation of colonists from a crumbling planet, except the colonists would rather stay than board the Enterprise, what with her captain having a price on his head and all.

  1. I don’t get why Kirk had a reputation for preferring green space bimbos. Sure, that happened, usually as a result of mind control etc. Whenever an ex of his turns up, i.e. a woman he’s chosen to be involved with, she tends to be a scientist or lawyer; educated, accomplished, highly respected in her field. This is not a man who’s intimidated by an impressive woman.
