I think it only reaches rape level of creepy very few times, but there's a clear focus on Kirk getting the girl because he's the hero. Still enjoy TOS, for sure, but I'm more enthralled by DS9.

I'm sorry, you're going to have to cite specific examples of Kirk getting rapey. And The Enemy Within does not count. ;)

The number of times Kirk definitely got laid in the entire series hovers around three. Two of these were scenarios where he was being held captive, Bread and Circuses, Wink of an Eye. One was where he had lost his memory, The Paradise Syndrome.

Eddie Murphy famously did a bit in his stand up show about how "Kirk f****d a green b*tch" but it never actually happened.

Really so that bit in Mirror Mirror where he grabs that woman and she was trying to break lose from his grip,that doesn't count?

I guess no really means yes.

Also there were the insanely short miniskirts the woman were force to where while the men got pants and the fact that the show almost always played sexy jazz music whenever a woman was on screen. That's a bit cringe worthy in this day and age I have to say. I am pretty sure most people agree because as I said that character trait was the one thing they didn't bring back in the movies,so I think by the time the 80s rolled around they knew better then to try and pull that off.
