It's been around for 30 years already and has been widely discussed in the cinematic community. Basically, if a movie features two (named) female characters talking to one another about something other than a man, it passes the test.Ohh, that thing?That's a pretty shallow measure in my opinion >.>It definitely is. It's hard to come up with a better way of judging gender equality and equal representation in movies though. The more you're going to analyse a movie, the more subjective and personal it becomes.

Yeah I suppose <.<
Sweden is a shithole.
