Re: Alternative to the Bechdel Test?

The Bechdel test isn't there to test if a movie is feminist. It is there to test if it fails to be misogynist. Sadly far too many movies and shows fail to be not misogynist.

I disagree. There are films that could not have any female characters and not be misogynist. Military films, for example, depending on the length of time we follow the characters. If everything happens over the course of a week in the trenches, it wouldn't be surprising at all that there's no women.

It's neither, but it's closer to being a test of feminism than lack of misogyny. Women talking about men or there being only one woman (who may be the main character, and interesting and well-written) doesn't by any stretch mean the writers hate women.

The bechdel test is literally from a comic. It is nothing more or less then the test that the author's insert uses to determine if she'll go see the movie or not.



It's a good point made and it's interesting but people on all sides have made it a lot more since.

I realize at this pictures size it's hard to read the title, so for those interested, the comic is "Dykes to watch out for" by Alison Bechdel
