The Bechdel test

Anita Sarkeesian from Feminist Frequency talks about the Bechdel Test, an experiment that evaluates Hollywood movies by gender bias. It's based on a comic strip from 1985 by Alison Bechdel, and to pass, a film must basically satisfy the three following requirements:

1. There should be two or more women characters in it;
2. They must talk to each other;
3. They must talk to each other about something other than a man.
