Yeah I think technically that movie would pass. Which is the problem with the Bechdel test. It really shouldn’t be used as a test for deciding which films are sexist on a individual basis. It’s a useful tool for pointing out how screwed up and sexist the film industry is, given that with a male/female global…

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why is the “s” repeatedly dropped from Star Wars in this and a few other Jezebel articles?

I graduated high school by the time they made this vaccine standard and free for all tenth-grade girls (nurses would actually come 3 times and administer shots at the school) but luckily when I went to get a pap my doctor informed me there was “enough” allocated so that girls born in my year could get it free too.

A roll of $1 comes in $25 and roll of $2 comes in $50 and about one of each is enough where I work.
