  • 12:07:08: So! Thor was crazy fun! And it passed Bechdel, unlike pretty much every superhero movie ever. Enjoy the pretty shirtlessness!
  • 12:18:51: @ShannonKButcher Martha Stewart is WEAK-WILLED and FEEBLE. Craft on, brave souls!
  • 12:19:05: @Esperacchius You’re joking, right?
  • 12:22:13: @Esperacchius The existence of a conversation about a girl doesn’t invalidate the many conversations dudes have NOT about a girl.
  • 12:22:48: @Esperacchius If that were the definition, no movie would ever pass either test.
  • 12:36:28: @Esperacchius Bechdel isn’t meant to be an accurate test of feminist cinema. It highlights the imbalance of male/female presence in media.
  • 12:36:40: @Esperacchius The women of White Collar are AWESOME, but it took AGES for it to finally pass Bechdel.
  • 12:36:59: @Esperacchius It’s STAGGERING how rarely women interact w/ women in media, compared to how much time is devoted to men interacting with men.
  • 12:39:46: @Esperacchius Heh, nope. Arwen, Eowyn, Galadriel, Rosie Cotton… You ever see them interacting with other women? :D
  • 12:58:29: @Esperacchius Yes, it does. It doesn’t have to be only women in the scene.
  • 12:58:38: @Esperacchius Any time Harry observes two named women talking to each other about something other than a man, it qualifies.
  • 12:59:46: @Esperacchius Like when Murphy schools Molly for invading her crime scene in WN, or any time Molly and Charity interact.
  • 13:02:43: @Esperacchius It’s a test for the bare minimum of female interaction. It’s not about excluding men.
  • 13:10:47: RT @DlectablePlanet: Produce is the most important health care your money can buy. Love your local farmer’s market and it will love you! …
  • 13:12:00: @Esperacchius Thus demonstrating that the Bechdel test is doing its job: pointing out the VAST disparity btw male vs. female interaction!
  • 13:15:35: @Esperacchius It never purported to be about the positive message about women. I already addressed that in an earlier tweet.
  • 13:17:08: @Esperacchius Uh, no? Where are you getting that? Not what Bechdel is about.
  • 13:22:36: @mkcho73 I can recommend! But it’s not like “Battle Royale meets Twilight.” The romance isn’t terribly important to the main girl. :D
  • 13:25:02: @marashomemade Strawberry almond pie? Sounds DELISH! Any chance you’ll offer that your last week in Manhattan?
  • 13:25:41: @Esperacchius No, no, no. That’s not it at ALL.
  • 13:27:14: @Esperacchius They’re talking about the DOMINANCE of male stories in media and how rare it is for women to interact even at a minimal level.
  • 13:28:29: @Esperacchius They’re not passing negative judgment on women talking with women about men. They’re just saying it doesn’t pass this test.
  • 13:42:14: @Esperacchius Because there IS. Plenty of movies have two women with names, but that last criterion is KEY.
  • 13:45:53: @Esperacchius The inclusion of nuanced female characters isn’t enough, b/c Hollywood still only has them interacting with/talking about men.
  • 13:51:26: @Esperacchius The fact that so few movies/shows pass the Bechdel test is very telling about the way filmmakers view women as a whole.
  • 13:54:09: @Esperacchius The part where you weren’t grasping the significance of the dearth of conversations btw women about something other than men?
  • 14:03:31: RT @wcmartell: Wait… ABC is doing a whole hour of Bin Laden home videos on AFV? I wonder how many times he get hit in the nuts?
  • 14:06:26: @Esperacchius So it’s “useless” to point out that a STAGGERING number of films don’t exhibit the bare minimum of female interaction?
  • 14:06:41: @Esperacchius Dude, I’m done. We can continue this conversation in person if you want.
