On Monday, actor Chris Hemsworth, better known as Thor, explained that the role of James Bond should be redone.

This time with Charlize Theron playing the part. Theron is the star of the soon-to-released Atomic Blonde, a Bond adjacent-born female knockoff. She embodies every ounce of strength and nobility and dignity and integrity the character should have, Hemsworth explained. She's smart as hell. She's physically able. You know, watching her in those fight scenes in Snow White and the Huntsman, doing it in high heels, by the wheel, an eight-foot-long

gown was even more impressive. And I just think, why not? It's time. This is, to put it mildly,

the stupidest crap I have ever heard. But it is not rare to hear Hollywoodite's virtue signaling

by talking about their ideal bond. Ian McKellen said years

ago he'd like a gay bond. But Bond is Bond. He has a character. He's an ultra-straight

womanizer fulfilling teenage boy fantasies. That is the entire point of the character. It just

doesn't work the same way with a woman. Bond is a bad boy because he can seduce any woman

no matter how unavailable or beautiful. Making bond a woman

changes that calculus utterly because virtually any mildly attractive woman can do the same with

virtually any man. It is not a challenge for Charlize Theron to get a man in bed. As Amy Schumer

has said, I'm 160 pounds and I can catch a bleep whenever I want. She is scientifically accurate.

As David Schmidt, Ph.D, writes at psychology today, quote,

over the last few decades, almost all research studies have found that men are much more eager

for casual sex than women are. Oliver and Hyde, 1993, Peterson and Hyde, 2010. This is especially

true when it comes to desires for short-term mating with many different sexual partners, and is

even more true for wanting to have sex with complete and total strangers. In a classic social experiment from the

1980s, Clark and Hatfield put the idea of sex differences in consenting to sex with strangers

to a real-life test. They had experimental Confederates, approached college students around various

campuses, and asked, quote, I've been noticing you around campus. I find you to be very attractive.

Would you like to go to bed to me with me tonight? Around 75% of men agreed to have sex with a complete stranger, whereas zero women, zero percent agreed. In terms of effect size,

this is one of the largest sex differences ever discovered in psychological science.
