The Bechdel Test:

1. It has to have at least two women in it,
2. Who talk to each other,
3. About something besides a man.

So, not just "talking about something other than a love interest," but "talking about something other than a man."

Gender-flipped Bechdel Test:

1. It has to have at least two men in it,
2. Who talk to each other,
3. About something besides a woman.

I mean, seriously, can you think of anything - anything at all, whether a book, a movie, or a TV series - that manages to fail this test? Anything? Even a romance flick or a chick lit book?

Claymore does, and it's the only thing that I can think of. (So far it has managed to fail Step #3 of the test.)
