Bond wasn’t above forcing himself on a woman, touching her inappropriately and making lewd and suggestive comments. Of course the women always willingly acquiesced to his advances but this was par for the course in those nudge-nudge-wink-wink times. The old Bond was certainly a sexual predator; even a serial harasser; some think his character in movies such as Goldfinger is nothing short of a rapist.
The man is dismissive and patronising of women in general. He infantilizes them and objectifies them. I find it all hugely awkward and repulsive.
