What would Moneypenny do? Sexual harassment, desire and James Bond

That James Bond’s longest relationship with a woman has remained, in spite of his proverbial boudoir skills, unconsummated for more than 60 years seems rather incongruous. Yet, Bond’s interaction with Miss Moneypenny, uneasily contained between risqué flirtation and out-and-out sexist behaviour, may give us an insight into the sex politics of the workplace and how they might have changed over six decades.

A staple character throughout the Bond film franchise, Moneypenny is a paradigm of changing attitudes towards sexual harassment and of its complex intersections with female desire.

I don’t remember that one. Must have slipped through.

I do however remember about 150 others, but probably not for public consumption.
 
I like the idea of a snark amnesty. Could we also get a hijack amnesty going. The amount of threads that get hijacked about a debate that has nothing to do with the subject of the thread is incredibly high (and I am as guilty as anyone on getting sucked into a debate about an “off-topic” matter). It makes it hard for people to jump on the board and get the news about whatever it is they are interested in because they go into the relevant thread and the discussion has nothing to do with the subject the thread is supposed to be about.

Yet there is a belief that perhaps, they actually did consummate their "relationship" very very early on in the piece. Hence her unrequited feelings for him.

There is no question the canon of films have Moneypenny being on some level besotted with Bond.

Perhaps therefor Bond is the ultimate gentleman being friendly and flirty because she likes it, but not taking advantage.

It's an interesting relationship. Reminder they do work together as well.

I'm not advocating they have consummated just sharing a long held theory in the canon of films.

Let me preface this by admitting that I can snark as well as anyone. For the good of the board and our own mental health, I am proposing a snark amnesty. Sign up to the anti snark movement, and let’s have respectful debate of the issues facing our club over the coming months.

I have also been guilty of Snark in the past but I have recently turned over a new leaf.

Not sure how long it will last with weirdos like Walter rolling around naked in display homes......wtf :eek::p

An interesting and brave idea and I wish you all the very best in the campaign. But I trust you realize you are attempting to over turn one of the basic, underlying tenets of the worldwide chat board ethos. That is, the ability of anyone with an internet connection to express random, ill informed, biased, nasty or downright crazy assertions or opinions anonymously without any obligation to provide evidence for their view. Then having done so retreat smugly behind the shelter of ones keyboard and screen with absolutely no accountability whatsoever.

Jmac, i wish you well on your noble quest. Sadly I suspect both of us will be disappointed.

I quite liked that one and the mod of the day told me it would be a shame to lose it for poor behaviour

But I never saw sticking up for my club against trolls that are tolerated simply because they 'skirt' the rules as poor behaviour

Mods and I have never seen eye to eye on the spirit of the law... and how it is made a mockery by a very few cunning rats
