In the Sue fics I've MSTed, I've noticed an odd trend of Sue characters failing the Bechdel test. The Bechdel Test is a sort of litmus test for female presence in movies and TV. In order to pass, the film or show must meet the following criteria:

1) there are at least two named female characters, who

2) talk to each other about

3) something other than a man.


Is this something you guys have noticed too or have I just been reading the wrong Sue fics?
