What started out as the British saying "We're not a country of homosexuals" has become something utterly sexist and a tradition for the Bond movies.

Which is a pity as when women are given roles of importance (which is rare, but the movies OHMSS, FYEO, LTK, arguably Octopussy, and GE - using acronyms to save on typing did try creating female characters who are more than walking 'good bits') , they get lopped in with the usual sexist routine as well.

On the other hand, it's a movie. It's entertainment. It surely isn't real. And there's plenty of TV that compensates for the mindlessness, if you can find it... Keep the distinction in mind and they can do any crackpot off-the-wall thing they want. And the world is made up of all types, so I don't mind if it is sexist. (And if I were hetero, I'd mind it even less!)
