Fine, but then don't brag about it beforehand, because it makes you look disingenuous.
In-universe, characters are presented or portrayed as Bond's equal, including several (and possibly most) Bond girls.
What I'm referring to is what we as viewers know because James Bond is a work of fiction and we know how fictional storytelling works. It doesn't matter how big or strong or competent a character is said to be in-universe. Bond is always going to be the focus because he's the main protagonist. The films are about him, not the supporting cast.
The point is that with practically every film the lead actress says she's a different type of Bond girl, one that within the confines of the story is competent and can hold her own as opposed to a useless damsel in distress, even though many or even most Bond girls are like that. So what they are saying ends up being completely not true. They say they are different and unique, but they aren't at all.
