@OaklandElle As written, no. Which is fine, the Bechdel test isn't meant to be a perfect instrument.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I feel like it actually would, and if not, then an exception needs to be written into the Bechdel test.

@OaklandElle You could get legalistic about phrasing, which is "a man" in the original, but that dodge would work for patriarchy too.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@OaklandElle The question is whether maleness is centered, I think, and discussion of the necessity of killing all men does center maleness.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@OaklandElle I dunno, trope of two women talking about *one specific man* is so prevalent that maybe talking men-in-general is a legit pass.
