Something that's always annoyed me is the idea that Bond shouldn't appeal to women because he treats them badly
. What, so no woman has ever used a man for sex and then tossed him aside, or manipulated, lied and cheated to get what she wants? I think Bond's supposed misogyny has been highly overstated, and feminists themselves have done more to hurt the cause of feminism than any man ever has. Most of the women in Bond films are perfectly capable of looking after themselves, in fact I believe that if I'd been growing up in the sixties I'd have found some of them quite inspirational.
Agree 1000%. I hate watching some obviously women lib movies where a woman can do no wrong and the man is to blame for everything. There's a fine line between treating women badly and taking this women lib thing a little too far. Somehow those women who are looking at Bond as sexist tend to overlook the female characters he is dealing with in these movies, they only pay attention to Bond's actions themselves. The onyl time when I thought Bond wasn't being reasonable was when Roger Moore's Bond hit Andrea in TMWTGG. That looked a but out of place, I thought, since she didn't provoke him.
am scared of people who dress up as their favourite Star Wars and Star Trek characters......
Some are just doing it for fun at the conventions, but some do take it a little too seriously. William Shatner said about this: "It's just a show, get over it." I'd be feeling uneasy, too, if someone walked up to me and said: "Live long and prosper."
