Re: Alternative to the Bechdel Test?

Personally, I'd argue that a movie shouldn't automatically fail such a test if there were a brief moment where the female cops spent a few lines talking about washing powder, as long as there was also a scene where they discussed the perp and did other Police Things. In other words, the movie passes if there are female characters who don't necessarilly need to be female and who do things that don't revolve around their femaleness, but they still *can* do conventionally female things - it's just not the entirety of they're characters. They don't need to be consistently gender-neutral all the time to pass. You could still just as easily make the cops male without breaking conventions by changing the washing powder discussion to one about sports because it's just a few throw-away lines between two cops on patrol before all hell breaks loose or whatever.
