'The Bechdel test asks whether a work of fiction features at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man. Many contemporary works fail this test of gender bias, as detailed in the "Application" and "Limitations" sections below........" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechdel_test ......very droll; but what I couldn't work out was whether the test concerns 1/ all conversations between the two female characters or 2/ just one Also the anti-sexist context; seems to miss the more general problem of the cliched nature of story-telling; (so evident in Hollywood's view of the world). That is how to tell a story in a way which will be appealing to an audience, whose real interests are very narrow ? regards Rohan McLeod
