Lydia talks to her sister about her school day in one scene; later Miranda and her daughters talk about what dress Miranda should wear for her birthday.

the dress scene doesn't pass the third test Neil: they are discussing the best dress to impress Suart on her birthday.

The conversation is about how much flesh she should show Stuart.

I'll have to check the school-day convo...

The major characters are 4 women, Robin Williams in drag, and two men who don't really talk to each other.

Cat disagreed with the rating and said:
Fail. Children don’t count. Husband faking, dressed as woman to manipulate wife (not because actually a trans woman, there is a difference) doesn’t count as their conversation is what a man would say.. Awful. Fails 1&2&3
