A Tasting Menu of Female Representation:

rehfan:

madlori:

qfeminism:

thisisrabbit:

priscellie:

cl-hilbert:

The Bechdel:

two or more women talking to each other about something other than a man

The Mako Mori:

at least one female character with her own narrative arc that is not about supporting a man’s story

The Sexy Lamp:

a female character that cannot be removed from the plot and replaced with a sexy lamp without destroying the story.

Chef’s Specials:

The Anti-Freeze:

no woman assaulted, injured or killed to further the story of another character.

The “Strength is Relative”:

complex women defined by solid characterization rather than a handful of underdeveloped masculine-coded stereotypes.

Furiosa test.

^^

“Ghostbusters” blows all of these tests completely out of the water.

And generates at least one that I think ought to be added:

The Pizza Night Test

Women are shown eating non-salad food and no comment is made about anyone getting fat or breaking their diet.

I love everyone in this bar.

“Basically, I was looking out of a window in Australia, and I had been for a walk outside. There’s a big field and it says “Snake habitat. Do not enter.”. So I’m like, “Okay, Australia. Snakes. Serious business.”. Don’t wanna get bitten by a snake. Next thing I can see is fans bounding towards me way down the field, through said snake habitat.“

Niall and Harry bickering like 5 year olds. Louis is very content because he’s not getting roasted by Harry. Liam staring at Harry like he’s from another planet.
