From Wikipedia:

Bechdel-Wallace test is a measure of the representation of women in film and other fiction. The test asks whether a work features at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man. The requirement that the two women be named is sometimes added.

Huh, learn something new every day.

Well that's kinda stupid.

And that is the point. It never was meant to actually be used

Well it doesn't make sense to use it on individual movies. The point is that it's such an incredible low standard and still: lots of movies don't pass it.

That doesn't make movies that pass the test not sexist or the other way around.

Bechdel test should also account for scenes where a female character shoves a sword into a man’s face tbh
