There are very few scenes where women talk to each other. Most of them are when the camp counselors are all talking to each other in a group, which includes men. Women never actually have a one-on-one dialogue with each other where a man doesn't chime in or is an active participant in the conversation, except for one scene toward the end when Alice talks to Ms . Voorheese (or however you spell her name), but they talk about men (Jason, Mike, etc).

When characters are swimming, Marcie ask what vitamin C does and Brenda respond, then she notice someone in the woods and tell Marcie about that. Later two of them talk about dinner.
Alice and Brenda also talk about monopoly.

It doesn't matter if men participate in conversations as long as female characters clearly exchange lines with eatch others. The movie passes, but barely.

While swimming, Brenda and Marcie talk about vitamin C and if Brenda sees something in the woods. Later on, Brenda and Marcie talk about food. This movie definitely passes all 3 tests.
