I have been trying to apply the Beshdel Test to what I've been watching lately.
The wiki entry in the link above explains more, but basically to pass the Beshdel Test a work of fiction must have:
A) At least two female characters
B) Who Talk to each other
C) About something other than a man
This evening I have watched:
- Rizzoli & Isles - pass, just
- The Good Wife - pass
And I'm reading an Ian Rankin novel at the moment (yes, my choice of tv and books is pretty limited - crime & murder!) which so far fails, but I'm only part way through.
