How about Bill? 
Clearly, you’ve never seen Goldfinger, in which Bond puts himself in mortal peril many times and does essentially nothing to stop the main villian from realizing his plan. Clearly, Bond is just a distraction to cover the real operators. Heck, he’s never even successfully gotten the drop on his main nemesis (Ernst Stravo Blofeld) despite numerous opportunities. Note this line from The Living Daylights:
M: “I’ll recall 008 from Hong Kong…he follows orders, not instincts.”
What about the villians? Although there have been several female henchmen, there hasn’t been a single female villian in the entire series. What about gender equality on the side of evil?

Actually, if you do some searching, I wrote a pretty detailed analysis of Kill Bill and why it is a very important movie (and I am NO Tarantino fan) for just this reason.
Elektra King, The World is Not Enough. If anything, I’d say Renard was her stooge.
And then, after the firefight, in which she got shot but she’s fine because she’s wearing kevlar, he talks down to her about putting herself in danger, and her attitude is “hey, doofus, you knew you were going into a fight and you didn’t wear armor; cut me some slack.” That character rocked.
How does Halle Berry’s character fit into all this analysis? She was ahead of Bond at a few points (especially at the time they first hooked up), then she had to get rescued, but then she ended up taking out the (female) baddie all by herself.
Hmmm. James Bond is a male chauvanist?
But the Pope doesn’t shit in the woods, right? Right?
