This Is Insightful, You Should Watch It of the Day: The Bechdel Test is a straightforward evaluation of the gender bias present in a given movie.
To pass, a film must meet three requirements: 1) Have at least two female characters 2) who talk to each other 3) about something other than a man. (A variant of the rule called the “Mo Movie Measure” adds the requirement that the female characters must have names.)
Feminist Frequency’s Anita Sarkeesian applies the test to the 2012 Best Picture nominees to see if the pass.
Spoiler Alert: Most don’t.

Jax: I know this is all my fault.
Tara: No, it’s not, Jax. This had to happen.
Jax: What are you talking about?
Tara: Fate. We’re supposed to be together, right? But you can’t leave here.
Jax: I am leaving here. With you.
Tara: No. The club won’t let you. Gemma won’t let you. Charming won’t let you. The only way I can be with you is if I lose my way out. I lost that tonight, baby. I have a dead hand. No one will want me now. I’ll never save another life again. I’ll never fix a tiny heart.
Jax: Don’t do this—
Tara: It’s okay, ‘cause now we can be together. You, me, Gemma. Happy family, here in Charming. Maybe I should smash my other hand, that way I can just stay at home, be a mom, raise your babies.
Jax: Tara, stop, don’t do that.
Tara: You should leave now.
Jax: Baby, I’m sorry.
Tara: I can’t see you - anyone. Please, Jax, go. Go! Go! GO!
