There's a study which shows movies from 2014-2017 that have female leads earn more than movies that star men. It also stated movies that pass the Bechdel Test outperformed those that didn't ... What's the Bechdel Test? A movie has to do three things: 1. Have at least two named women in it 2. Who talk with each other 3. About something besides a man. Huh. You know, like the conversations women in the real world have. We pass the Bechdel test.
