    What sexism? The Bond movies are full of assertive independent women . Some good, some bad. Many try to kill Bond. In Goldfinger Ms Galore threatened Bond with a gun and was going to commit mass murder using a weapon of mass destruction. What should Bond have done with such a person?

      There was scene in Miami at the start where he shooed a woman aside saying “man talk” and smacking her bum as she walked away.

      Just little things like that

        Man talk? That was confidential state secrets. What was he going to say?

        And did he threaten Miami woman with a gun? Miami woman also wasn’t a colleague.

        sure, Bond can be a dick sometimes but put it into perspective.

        taps a woman on the bum vs woman is going to use a weapon of mass destruction

        it’s a different world, I wouldn’t be focusing on Bond, I’d be looking at the all the examples of psychopaths and all the violence as something to worry about

      Dude, he full on sexually assaults Pussy when she won’t have any of his ‘charms’ which magically makes her change sides, and the two sisters are fridged to motivate bond - one of whom is literally punished for having sex, and laid out in such a violently pornographic tittilation that it’s considered an iconic example of such.
