Firstly, there\\\'s this from the trope\\\'s page: \\\"The test is often misunderstood. The requirements are just what they say they are — it doesn\\\'t make any difference if, for instance, the male characters the women talk about are their fathers, sons, brothers, platonic friends or mortal enemies rather than romantic partners.\\\"
Given this, there really seems to be no point in mentioning that the only time a male discussed by some females in a romantic context, or saying that what happens there is an instance of \\\"playing with the trope\\\", because that\\\'s no more relevant than if they were talking about a male in the context of buying ice cream from him or whatever. It\\\'s not a relevant only time. So let\\\'s not put that there.
Secondly, some recent edit reasons claim the Reverse Bechdel Test is completely missing the point (which is likely not the trope, by the way, as evidenced by how its name was changed to ComicallyMissingThePoint). I think it makes sense to mention it somehow (even if not calling it that) because it is illustrative of how female-dominated the series is and thus of how and why it passes the test.
