The Bechdel Test

Alison Bechdel’s original 1985 Dykes To Watch Out For strip that became known as “The Bechdel Test.”

[lesbophobes-deactivated20220907]

never forget that this was originally meant to demonstrate that lesbian representation was so rare that you wouldn’t even see two named women interact in a platonic manner let alone in a sexual or romantic one onscreen. 

[thatdiabolicalfeminist]

I never really understood why this was lesbian specific until I realized how alienating it is to look for yourself on the screen and find not a single woman whose motivations and romantic interest and friendship and sacrifice aren’t focused entirely on men – esp if you’ve fought with heavy losses to decentralize men from your own life and focus on your more healthy non-coerced love of women.

Like, the bar isn’t “has a remotely shippable relationship with a woman”, it’s actually “has literally anything at ALL in her life that isn’t about men so I can relate to her dear God please.”

[closet-keys]

yes, thank you. I wish more folks understood this. 

this comic is about the horrible isolation and alienation lesbians feel in a culture where, in the majority of movies, women barely ever even talk to each other about something other than men, let alone have platonic intimacy with each other, let alone have romantic intimacy with each other, let alone love each other, let alone express love for each other, let alone have lives focused on each other. 

there are so few women who reflect us, and it’s genuinely a very lonely feeling.

Amber Rose has the best response for why women should NEVER feel ashamed of demanding safe sex 

Amber Rose is simply not interested in your slut-shaming. The unapologetic social-media star doesn’t mince words when it comes to a woman’s right to own her sexuality. And you have to hear how passionately she defends the women in the audience.

Vintage women being badass. You’re welcome.

Don’t fool yourself into thinking ladies were demure and silent in the past. 

I would like more female characters being this open

my perfect crime? I memorize the entirety of the macy’s store inventory. I then go on aliexpress.com and find exact replicas of every single purse in the store. I break in at 3am, and replace every purse with a cheaper version of the purse. I take my real purses home and open up an online store on the darknet featuring fake purses. I then sell these real purses as fake purses, making it so that when the feds catch on to my antics, they spend countless years trying to figure out who can replicate purses this well, and who is selling them. Soon an entire division of the FBI is dedicated to finding me and figuring out how my “fake” purses appear to be real. 45 years later they finally trace my ip address and break into my villa in texas and shoot me right in the leg when i attempt to flee. While this would normally not be a fatal wound, due to my constant devotion to my online fake real purse storefront i have suffered an iron deficiency for 35 years. My blood can’t clot and I start to bleed out. Turns out the woman who shot me was a girl who i made out with once in college, and she holds my dying body in her arms and asks me how my fake purses were so real. I spend the last moments of my fleeting life telling her about how every five years i break into a different Macy’s and replace all the purses, and that the purses I have been selling online for a severely discounted price were actually all real, and I have been doing this purely for the gag of it all. When my former college girlfriend gets home from work after rightfully murdering me for my crimes, she goes into her walk in closet, looks at the 13 gucci purses she owns, and realizes that they’re all fakes.
