    I agree with this. It's one factor to consider among others, and as you said is most useful in looking at trends across an entire industry. I only mentioned it as it is somewhat related to a broader application of sexism that I introduced and will be using to analyze the Final Fantasy series: the frequent dependence of female characters on male characters for relevance.
    how come no one has come up with a more universal test (other than the "gut" test)?

    Probably because the woman who created the Bechdel Test is too busy gossiping and getting her nails done to come up with a new one.

    (SPOILER)See what I did there?
