What is the Bechdel test?
The Bechdel test is named after cartoonist Alison Bechdel, who introduced the idea in a comic strip in the year 1985. To pass the test, a story needs to have:
At least two women
The women need to talk to each other
They need to talk to each other about something other than a man
I first heard about the Bechdel test when watching Jane the Virgin, and it caught my interest. To me, it seemed like the standards of the test were too low, and should be ridiculously easy for movies to pass.
However, a simple Google search told me otherwise. Apparently, there were a large number of movies that did not fulfill the requirements to pass the Bechdel test, including:
