The test asks whether a work features at least two female characters who have a conversation about something other than a man. Some versions of the test also require that those two female characters have names.
Two female characters. Not talking about men. Both have names.
It’s a stereotype about women complimenting eachother while not actually meaning it. It’s a joke. Look at the upvote / downvote ratio. Most people get it. You’re in the minority here being offended by it. Recreational outrage so to speak.
I love that you’re asking how it’s misogynistic and literally your next words are that it’s a stereotype about women.
“it’s a joke.” really? from what, 4th century CE?
and stop this bullshit about being offended.
people can call out misogyny, or any kind of bigotry without being offended. not that being offended is a bad thing when something is offensive to begin with. though to me it’s not “offensive” so much as it is incredibly hack. what I find offensive is pretending that this is in any way funny.
also being in the minority or majority does not have any bearing to the legitimacy of your arguments. and it’s not most people who get it, it’s literally everyone. there’s nothing to “get”. this is one of the oldest jokes in history. update your sense of humor.
When the cartoonist tries to pass the Bechdel test without ever speaking to a woman in his life
Two female characters. Not talking about men. Both have names.
Yes! Correct! This does in fact pass the Bechdel test, while still being deeply misogynistic. Thank you for explaining my joke.
Why is it deeply misogynistic?
Let me answer your question with a question: what do you think is the intended joke/humor of this comic?
