Recently, Chris Hemsworth, that Australian hunk of “Thor” fame, said it was time for a woman to play James Bond. Last year two actresses, Priyanka Chopra and Emilia Clarke (of Game of Thrones fame), voiced their potential interest in taking on such a role.

As much as I love women and believe they are wonderful role models, in movies and in real life, it’s a stupid idea for Hollywood in all it’s progressive glory to flip the script on a classic male role, solely in the name of gender equality and political correctness. The fight for women not just to be equal with men but surpass them in terms of rights, opportunities, and activities is one of the most bold, important cultural movements at play — if this succeeds it will not resonate well in our society long term.
