The Hollywood Reporter recently set out to judge which of the 25 top-grossing movies of 2016 passed a famous “sexism” test, the so-called Bechdel test.

The Hollywood trade magazine found that the gender-swapping remake of “Ghostbusters” was among the most pro-woman movies of the year while “The Magnificent Seven,” a remake of the 1960 Western, did not meet any of Bechdel’s criteria.

According to THR, the Bechdel test, created in 1985 and named for graphic novelist Alison Bechdel asks of a work of fiction, “1. Does it have more than two female characters (with names) in it? 2. Do those characters engage in a conversation with each other? 3. And is that conversation about anything other than a man?”

“Ghostbusters” passed the test “with flying colors by having 36 scenes” in the movie that met all three criteria, THR reported. The paranormal action-comedy was joined by 12 other movies, including stereotypically male-oriented superhero flicks “Captain America: Civil War” and “Batman v Superman” in the passing category.

Nine movies were categorized as having failed the test by meeting only one criterion of the Bechdel test, and both “Magnificent Seven” and “The Legend of Tarzan” were placed in THR’s “Seriously?” category for meeting none of the criteria.

Of course, the Bechdel test has its limits as a diagnostic of “sexism” in fictional productions. While none of the blockbusters tested will likely stand the test of time that have say, William Shakespeare’s works, most of the Bard’s plays don’t meet the rigors of the 31-year-old test.

Even so, Shakespeare aficionado S.A. Markham observed in a March 1, 2015, blog post, “Just because the women of Othello or King Lear, for instance, talk about men doesn’t mean they’re not wonderful, strong and full characters in their own right.”

“The far more important and impressive thing is that Shakespeare’s women are all complex, interesting and unique,” she concluded.
