Even British Prime Minister Theresa May waded in to the fray to demand a lady Bond. Well, I\u2019m happy to say Barbara Broccoli has finally put all this nonsense to bed by coming out and unequivocally stating Bond will never be female!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bond <i>must<\/i> become a woman the marching cadence demanded. Which is funny as wasn\u2019t it this time last year Bond <i>must<\/i> be black and the year before didn\u2019t he <i>need<\/i> to be gay and before that some other such special group. The fickle finger of activist\u2019s wags erratically, just as Occupy Wall Street gave way to Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter gave way to #Metoo and #Timesup, so too has the aim shifted on who \u201cneeds\u201d to be Bond. I suppose some day when we are contacted by extra-terrestrials Bond <i>must<\/i> be Martian because green lives matter. Or perhaps when the dead begin to walk among us Bond will <i>need<\/i> to become a zombie because they were people too!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of the arguments in favor of \u201cJane Bond\u201d was James Bond\u2019s terrible \u201cmisogynist\u201d treatment of women. How would having a woman commit the same \u201crepugnant\u201d behaviors be any better? Jane would be treating men \u201cpoorly,\u201d but I suppose that\u2019s respectable because men \u201cdeserve\u201d it? If she is a lesbian even worse, as she\u2019d be doing exactly the same thing to women that male Bond does, but I suppose not having a penis somehow makes it better?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then again, who\u2019s to say we haven\u2019t already had a female Bond, as we all know gender is fluid and who are we to assume what gender any particular actor was identifying as while filming any given scene! After all, maybe Connery was identifying as non-binary during You Only Live Twice? Perhaps Dalton was two spirit in License To Kill and Craig <u>did<\/u> appear in drag for that Woman\u2019s Day Bond tie in!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Obviously I have taken exception to many of Ms. Broccoli\u2019s film making decisions, particularly over the past decade. However she should be applauded, as a self-stylized feminist for standing up to the politically correct lynch mobs, especially at this time when her feminist friends and the world\u2019s media have gone mad with man hatred, some for legitimate reasons and some less so. For her to come right out and say what obviously needed to be said is groundbreaking and maybe, just maybe, we could be witnessing the inception of a return to form for the old franchise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; The \u201cwoke\u201d militias of the Hollywood Illuminati have been beating the battle drums for a female Bond more and more recently.
