    @SecretAgentMan⁰⁰⁷ - As one who says you are not necessarily a fan of Bond's womanizing, you can do without it, what then is your vision of women in a Bond film? What bothers you about Bond's womanizing?

    For me that aspect of his life is baked into the character. Though I don't share the same opinion as some who are troubled by the two often cited Connery scenes, I do understand their point. Clearly the films have evolved over time.

    What are you suggesting you'd like to see and why?

    Oh @CrabKey I don't think anything bothers me about Bond's womanizing. That's why I said I'm slightly worried that Bond's behavior in NTTD might be the new way Bond behaves from here on out. But guys like @007HallY & @mtm have made brilliant contributions on the subject matter.
    I do understand your opinion on Connery's Bond, though. I think that's subjective and actually a behavior of its time and also, not saying women aren't feminine these days, but they were more feminine back then, so it gave the males more reason to behave excessively dominant. For example, I can't imagine Ava Gardner from the golden era of Hollywood, not wanting someone like Victor Mature to tell her what to do. Maybe someone like Barbara Stanwyck was one of the tougher females back then, but even at that, she was still submissive to men...in some ways.
    As for the women in Bond films and even in today's other films, they're now the independent types, which is evolution. My point is, while it's good, it shouldn't affect Bond being in-charge of women. But at the same time, I think it should be done in a way that doesn't make Bond come off as a chauvinist.

    What about a Silva prequel?
