I completely seriously want it to happen.

Now that's the role Brian Brophy was born to play.

Yes, because a show titled Star Trek: Pussyslayer wouldn't be meant to infer anything whatsoever nor would it warrant legitimate criticism for being misogynistic or sexist.
There's a reason why the title of the show and the ship is called "Discovery" and not "Glenn." If you can't understand why, I can't help you anymore.
The naming of the main ship in relation to the show is usually for one particular reason or another.
"Voyager" for example could be meant to give it some nautical connotations like the other starships, with nautical themes often times being associated with exploration. More importantly I'd guess, is that "voyager" ties in with the concept of a voyage into space, as well as the tagline "these are voyages of the star ship Enterprise."
And notice, that the original Star Trek didn't have the name of the ship in the title, nor did TNG.
"Deep Space Nine" was probably more matter of fact. To give let the public know it's about a space station and NOT a star ship, and simply to differentiate it from ST:TNG which was airing at the same time.
Star Trek: Enterprise on the other hand was probably named that after two less successful Star Trek spin-offs, both Enterprise-less: VOY and DS9. "Enterprise" is part of pop-culture and iconic, so this was a way to advertise through name alone that Star Trek was back to featuring the Enterprise, a return to old form in some respects.

Maybe it's about killing cats?Yes, because a show titled Star Trek: Pussyslayer wouldn't be meant to infer anything whatsoever nor would it warrant legitimate criticism for being misogynistic or sexist.
'You put your little dick in, your little dick out. In, out, in, out and shake it all about. You do the okie,cokie and you turn around. That's whats its all about!'
(My fellow Brits will get it)
It's translated from the Ancient Vulcan.
Since you're so sure there is a reason, what is it? There doesn't seem any actual evidence that the name of the ship was meant to be meaningful.
But why would think it's about killing cats? A person would have to be dumb as fuck to think it's a reference to cats or vaginas.
Pussy is another word for cats, a "pussy slayer" is presumably about killing cats. Does slayer have some other meaning I'm not aware of?
Yeah I don't have any background on why exactly the producers chose the name "Galaxy" for the title of the show. But I think it's a better guess than insinuating it just as well could have been called Star Trek: Glenn.
I guess big studios dealing with a multi-million dollar franchise just pick names at random without any thought of the marketing, significant, relevance, etc.
The USS Pussyslayer could have been named after a classical music group. Or maybe it was named in honor of Starfleet Captain Earlington Pussyslayer.
Star Trek: Glenn is not real Star Trek.
Prove me wrong

Easy.
Despite Star Trek: Glenn taking place in 1970s Albuquerque and focusing on a middle aged man named Glenn who fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression, the mere fact that it has "Star Trek" in its name is proof it's real Star Trek.

Alex Kurtzman contacted John Glenn through a Ouija Board and he said Gene Roddenberry gave him his blessing in the Afterlife. Granted Alex Kurtzman gained his blessing secondhand through communication with the astral plane. But who are we to argue with the Great Bird?
They tend to chose names that have a historical or at times a personal significance. The Enterprise was called the Yorktown in early drafts of TOS. Both the names of US Naval ships going back centuries. Discovery is part of NASA's shuttle fleet. Defiant is probably derived from the movie Damn the Defiant. Voyager was a series of space probes launched by NASA. Glenn is named for pilot, astronaut and senator John Glenn. Bozeman is where Brannon Braga was born.
