Why the Next 007 Should Be a Woman

I’ve heard a lot about how we should let James Bond be a man, and just make a different franchise, and give women their own female Bond-counterpart. I've heard that James Bond is a male ideal, and a woman in the role would turn the film into nothing more than a feminist statement. I've even heard that making a female James Bond is like making 'a male Laura Croft' (to the anonymous YouTube commenter who made that comparison: you have a male Laura Croft. His name is Indiana Jones and he gets far more recognition than Laura Croft does). Most alarmingly, I've heard that we shouldn't have a woman as James Bond because it won't solve the rampant sexism in our entertainment industry.  I have addressed these complaints respectively in the list below.
