If, like me you have been getting pretty bored with female characters being
poorly represented by pretty much anyone except Joss Whedon, here is a
website that you may find at leastpartly usefull. http://bechdeltest.com/
Basically for something to pass the Bechdel Test it has to have 2 named
female characters who interact with each other and discuss something other
than a male character.
I'm now going to have this running through my test whenever I read or watch
something I expect but at least it may go partway to helping me vocalise
what I find annoting about certain films. (And also this has provided me
with yet another reason to not watch Battleship).
Yes there are two paths you can go by but in the long run, there's still
time to change the road you're on
