I know the definition of womanizer is just someone who engages in lots of casual sex with women, but the word also carries connotation that that person is dismissive of women and possibly misogynistic. That's usually the way it's used. That's the way I meant it.

People tend to take Kirk's one episode female love interests as evidence that he's a love 'em and leave 'em, dismissive type, that he's a heartbreaker. That ignores the fact that he's not casual about sexual relationships, and that, like you said, the women themselves are not having their hearts broken-that they have their own agency and enjoy casual sex.

And, yeah, this fanon interpretation of Kirk is old, but new Trek reinforces it in a bad way.

I see. I just wanted to point that out. I'd say that from a 23rd century perspective, a womanizer would probably lose all connotations of misogyny, but the show IS written by 20th century writers so yeah I get what you mean.
