The Mako Mori Test is a good companion to the Bechdel Test.

@clacke I like that this test exists but its increased depth compared to the Bechdel test also makes it more vulnerable to arguing since it tests less factual aspects of a fictional work. Both "independent plot arc" and "story independent of supporting a male character’s narrative are abstract concepts that are highly subjective.
The Bechdel test is more limited, of course, but at least it can be independently verified even by anti-feminists.
