| 1 | * Regarding the famous [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/zizyphus/34585797/ strip]] that gave use UsefulNotes/TheBechdelTest: The woman says that she will only see a movie if it passes her test. But how does she know if a movie passes the test unless she sees it first? |
| 2 | ** Movie trailers, reviews, interviews and other publicity can reveal violations. |
| 3 | *** Can, but all too often ''don't''. Especially at the time the strip was written. Also consider that the all it takes to supposedly pass the test is a single brief conversation that in an of itself can still be incredibly sexist (just as long as it isn't about a man). "[[AllWomenLoveShoes Oh my god, I love your shoes!]]" |
| 4 | *** Sexism isn't exactly the goal of the test, simply that two women are depicted as having a relationship that doesn't hinge on a man. One character initiating a conversation with another by complimenting her shoes could be a form of flirting. |
