Towards the beginning of the movie, Paul Kersey's (Charles Bronson) wife & daughter are shown grocery shopping together. While they are shopping and walking home together, they are seen talking, but their conversation is inaudible. Therefore, it is quite possible that they are discussing something other than a man. Also, Paul's wife asks the (female) clerk to have their groceries shipped to their apartment

Big disagree. Inaudible conversations should never count as a pass. Also Joanna tells the clerk to deliver the groceries but she definitely doesn't get a reply, so that's not a conversation.

Yeah, this should be a 1/3. There is never any audible, two-sided conversation between two women.
