I'm going to be posting a few times a week, and each post is going to be an overview of a particular movie or TV show and its treatment of women. </div><div><br /></div><div>Something I'll mention in probably every review is the Bechdel Test.

It's from a comic called<a href="http://alisonbechdel.blogspot.com/2005/08/rule.html"> </a><i><a href="http://alisonbechdel.blogspot.com/2005/08/rule.html">Dykes to Watch Out For</a>, </i>and as a friend of mine points out every time I mention it, it's not a very high standard.
