#bechdeltest — Public Fediverse posts

Does it count as failing the Bechdel test if three women are talking about a man who attacked them and then they fought him off, stole his car, ran into him, backed over him twice, put his corpse in his car, and drove off to hide him and the car out "on the moors"?

TIL that there's at least correlation between:

- When sawing women in half was all the rage amongst magicians 🪄
- Women's Suffrage in the US 😬

The always excellent Bechdel Cast with guest Kayla, a magic performer, about the film "The Prestige"

I believe The Lord of the Rings film trilogy technically passes the Bechdel test.

The only conversation between 2 female characters is when the little girl asks Éowyn, "where is momma?" and Éowyn calms her.

That's it. The only conversation between 2 female characters in just under 12 hours of film.

1/2 Very much enjoying the Bechdel Cast LIVE on the topic of the Star Wars prequels.

Here is EVERY TIME WOMEN INTERACT in the Star Wars prequels (it’s 2.5 minutes long)

Live podcast recording, CW, includes Obi Wan + Darth Maul erotic fan fiction 😆

And here, dear reader, is Marcia Lucas, George Lucas’s ex-wife, describing her reaction to The Phantom Menace (I learned of this from the podcast):


❝George is, in his heart and soul, a good guy and a talented filmmaker. I wish he would’ve kept directing [other kinds of] movies. But when I went to see Episode I — I had a friend who worked at ILM, who took me as a guest to a preview — I cried. I cried because I didn’t think it was very good. And I thought he had such a rich vein to mine, a rich palette to tell stories with. He had all those characters. I thought it was weird that the story was about this little boy who looked like he was six years old, but then later on he’s supposed to get with this princess who looked like she was twenty years old. There were things I didn’t like about the casting, and things I didn’t like about the story…it was a lot of eye candy.

❞

Hey our feature tonight passed the #BechdelTest too - The scene at the airport check in counter was two women talking and it wasn't about a man.

All in all a pretty good feature tonight.

@thorne
There's also a brief exchange between Jinu and Gwi-Ma, if you count him a man, about Jinu's voice, although it's part of a larger conversation about women
#KPopDemonHunters
#BechdelTest

#KPopDemonHunters passes the reverse #BechdelTest because at one point the TV show host commentates at length about hot sauce and Baby Saja replies "goo goo gaa gaa"

Just watched Grease (for the first time, somehow)

Incredibly, this #movie passes the #BechdelTest. Multiple times!

However, I feel like it's mainly because it has a cast of thousands, is about 9 hours long and is alllll over the map, plot-wise

Just by the laws of probabilities two named women would have to end up talking to each other about *something*

#Monsterdon #theangryredplanet #timedelay “oh when I call you by name, you’ll know it” somehow I don’t think this movie will be passing the #bechdeltest

Arte Doku : Brainwashed , Sexismus im Kino
gute #Doku über den männlichen Blick und wie er #Patriachat und #RapeCulture immer neu reproduziert. Den Blick auf weibliche Körper zum Objekt vollzieht - immer und immer wieder : und wie schwierig es ist den Kreislauf in der #Medien Welt und #Hollywood zu brechen.

I have an idea for a project in R. I could track my read books and use the data to create a map of the countries the authors are from or where the book is set. And an idea I have for quite a while now, since I was introduced to it at a course during my master’s degree: Bechdel test for the novels I’ve read. But i never take notes so I have to rely on memory or others and of course start taking notes now. #BechdelTest #RStats #books

‘Would the film Hidden Figures pass the Bechdel Test?’

They are 9…so I asked: ‘how do you know what the #BechdelTest is?’

Response: ‘Oh it’s mentioned in the Simpsons’

Me: Oh, right…

We deliberated - clearly lots of scenes with women talking to each other, but a lot of the substance of what they say also relates to men.

But ultimately they do also talk a lot about maths, engineering and racial and gender segregation …so we decided in the end it does pass!

One of the many great things about John Allison's comics is how they consistently pass the Bechdel test, as a matter of course.

Not many named female characters in this other than Mrs. Beck so the film does not pass #monsterdon #bechdeltest

Just realized that Captain America: Brave New World (2025) fails the Bechdel test, like, _hard_.

There are basically only two women in the entire movie, and they're not talking to each other, even though they're working at the same place. And one of them doesn't get introduced until half an hour into the movie.

In the final 10 minutes of this 3.5 hour film we finally see two women line together where each speaks and their actions in that moment revolve around the two main men.

it's so lol.... I had started seeing this movie because I generally thought it could be interesting but soon I felt like won't pass this test

Ne vous fiez pas à son pitch ultra classique (le Président des États-Unis est assassiné, son responsable de la sécurité mène l'enquête) car le premier épisode se termine en dévoilant un univers original qui promet d'être riche en rebondissements.
Bon casting et bon compromis intrigues révélations.
A noter que Paradise propose de nombreux personnages féminins de pouvoir ou scientifiques, sans connotation sexuelle, sans caricature et ce n'est même pas un sujet dans la série.

Oh sadly the two ladies have set the #bechdelTest back a generation

PSA: technically Alien passes the #BechdelTest. Because two women get together and communicate about something other than a man.

Quite enjoyed watching #Wingwomen on #Netflix https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21638298/

Pretty unusual action movie. Quite entertaining. Definitely passes the #BechdelTest

Kept hoping Dr. Langer would talk to one of the other women for a brief moment, but no #monsterdon #bechdeltest

@MikeDunnAuthor

...still manages to bomb the #bechdeltest

#TheLincolnLawyer sorry but no, saw only episode 1-1 but maybe I thought too much about #Bechdeltest but to the point that he has contact to two ex wives that meat and only can talk about him. And his daughter too is only interested in him. This is so 80s... besides that some nice humor, but the hole thing is just not bareable to me any more.

Inside you there are two female characters who have a conversation about something other than a man.

02 – Do they have love lives other than disabled people?

05 – Do they talk about anything besides their disability?

Okay, so #JohnnyGuitar, a movie that somehow I never heard of until this week, was a very unusual western. Two extremely headstrong women face off against each other within the first 15 minutes and just keep going at each other for the entire movie! But while the movie was, at certain stretches, the most feminist western ever, it might actually not pass the #BechdelTest. Because these two women—the only in the film—are fighting over a guy.

@Frohmann Ich habe endlich "Fun Home" gelesen, die Comic-Autobiografie von #AlisonBechdel (der "Entwicklerin" des #BechdelTest|s, der sexistische Klischees in Filmen aufdeckt).
Das Buch hat mich sehr berührt - ihre Familiengeschichte und insbesondere die Beziehung zu ihrem Vater werden durch das Miteinander von Text und Bild unheimlich greifbar (und auch einfach unheimlich). #bookstodon #MeinGutesBuch

Elle fait passer le test de Bechdel aux scénarios qu'on lui propose ❤️
