For those who don’t know, the Bechdel test is a literary test that requires three points.
Do you have more then one women character?
Do they talk?
Do they talk about something other then men?
I’ve seen a lot of discourse on it, even participated in it myself, but I’m curious what the broader opinion of it is, as I’ve heard everything from it was a joke to it’s the gold standard that every author should make sure their story follows.
