[Image description: The first image is a two-panel Star Trek comic where Kirk asks Bones, βBonesβ¦ do you think I like women?β In the second panel, Bones reacts to this by coughing and spilling his drink all over himself.
In the second image, Bones asks Kirk to clarify his question, asking, βAsβ¦ uhβ¦ As opposed to what?β Kirk replies, saying, βAs opposed to feeling threatened by them. I mean, do you think Iβm someone who feels uncomfortable being subordinate to, or on par with, a woman? Am I someone who relegates each woman I meet – especially the good-looking ones – to the status of either βI want herβ or βI donβt want herβ?β]
