The Bechdel Test
1. It has to have at least two women
2. Who talk to each other
3. About something besides a man
The Bechdel Test is not a test for feminism, progressiveism, or any other ism. This test simply reveals whether women are represented and whether they're represented as people, not aspects of a man.
