2 women having a 30 second conversation about shoes would pass... not exactly useful overall.
yeah, but i'm betting most writers, producers and directors would rather not waste even those 30 seconds. in crowded ensemble movies like the avengers, for instance, 30 secs is a whole fucking lot. if writers had to pass the test, i'm betting at least some of them would end up figuring out that women can chat about stuff useful to the plot as well - ~CRAZY, i know.
you'd kinda lose out on stories that historically are male-centric.
... and there's such a dearth of those, right? so rare. but fine, this fictional rule of mine can have historical/situational exceptions.
