Afraid I don't think the books relate that well to the films. Films based on books often don't.
But James Bond is well depicted in the films, as a racist, misogynist, homophobic as he is illustrated in the books.
It's also interesting to compare with many many other films as well and also in areas other than the ones you mention.
There are plenty of other examples of racism, misogyny and homophobia, both in the books. and the films.
Exampls such as throwing money at an Indian with the remark, "that'll keep you in curry for while", and throwing a cat at a Korean, with the remark, "enjoy", and other such racist comments.
Fact of life We are not all sexist go around hitting or raping women. Some do and always have done.
Of course, but to glorify such behaviour as the heroic exploits of an Englishman is not befitting, don't you think?
Employment of women has been marred to some extent by the fact that they are the ones that actually carry babies.
WTF!
If you must represent yourself as a sexist, I'm sure you could do it much more subtly than that.
Go back in time and many women would choose to remain at home and look after them.
I can see that you're not comfortable with being aware of the changing societal expectations from the genders.
That can mean very long absences from work.
Are you not comfortable with maternity leave? You think that women are incapable of raising a family and pursuing a career?
Times change in various ways that have an effect on these aspects but I'll leave those changes for you to work out for yourself. Traditions always take a while to correct themselves when they can.
Of course times change, and so do the expectations and the acceptable practices in society. I suggest you try catching up on modern day society.
Your quotes show what sort of person you are. Has it ever struck you that they do nothing what so ever about current situations? They are just a blame game and achieve nothing.
You think it's acceptable to suggest that women want to, and should stay at home to look after the kids, and be denied a career, and hero worship a women beater?
And you find my comments objectional.
I happened on a report on the first statue of note to be taken down. Rhodes in Cape Town University. One interesting thing about it was that the people who were involved were there to talk about it along with reasons. It's possible to look at a number of what could be called ex colonial countries and what has happened to them despite change of leaders. You can even include SA where there has been a pretty distinct change.
Very interesting, but WTF does it have to do with you stuck in a colonial, patriarchal, misogynist, racist, homophobic past?
