The test is mainly to highlight the lack of those simple things. I explained it to my husband (who doesn’t internet) and asked him to think of all the movies he’s seen on TV over the past year. He loves Westerns and action films, so duh. Most of them seem to have added one token female just to say they have a female. Sometimes there are two, but since they are attached to two different male ensemble characters, they never meet. Or occasionally, the two female characters may be attached to the same man, in which case any conversation between them would be about him. See, I’ve just described every Western and action film there is. Outliers like Alien and Gravity don’t really count as there aren’t enough characters for those factors to make any difference.
