...but the Bechdel Test isn't about feminism?

[personal profile] nyxelestia 2013-10-08 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, it's a common mistake, one I made all the time, but the point isn't to judge whether a movie is feminist or not. It's to show female presence and lacktherof, and highlight how "male" is the 'default', the dominant voice of popular media. You can have a feminist movie that doesn't pass it (case in point, Pacific Rim) and you can have a very sexist movie that does.

Female presence and female voice in the popular media is very closely tied to feminism and the value of women in the popular media, but isn't in and of itself a judge. That's the point of the new Mako Mori Test - to gauge the value of a female narrative in a movie, independent of the value of female presence.
