Plus, I think Bond in general and Daniel Craig's Bond in particular has been shown to be generally respectful and gentlemanly.
I have to disagree with you on this. I haven't seen the first Daniel Craig and can't recall specific examples at the moment from Quantum of Solace or Skyfall other than the shower scene, which also bothered me (even though I saw them both this weekend! I blame the pain medication), but I can definitely say that Bond in general tramples all over boundaries and consent. The worst example I've seen so far is from Thunderball, where he outright blackmails an unwilling woman into sleeping with him by threatening to get her fired for something he (probably) knows is not her fault. And I've lost count of the number of times he takes advantage of women whom he knows can't say no (because they'll blow their cover, because their bad-guy boss will kill them, etc.).
