I’ve lost track of the link, but I saw an essay explaining that from the POV of Hollywood executives, big-budget feature films SHOULD NOT pass the Bechdel test (presumably they don’t call it that); there is a widespread belief that women will see “men’s movies” but not vice versa, and therefore any suggestion that female characters are more than accessories to the men contaminates the film with revenue-inhibiting cooties.
