REP'n: Bechdel test

The Bechdel Test, Bechdel-Wallace Test, or the Mo Movie Measure*, is a sort of litmus test for female presence in movies and TV. The test is named for Alison Bechdel, creator of the comic strip Dykes To Watch Out For, who made it known to the world with this strip.
In order to pass, the film or show must meet the following criteria:
  1. It includes at least two women,*
  2. who have at least one conversation,
  3. about something other than a man or men.*
