The Unicorn (who becomes a human woman later in the film) and Molly Grue have a conversation about unicorns and age that has nothing to do with men.

In addition, this is a movie appropriate for children which has a female protagonist who has to fight the baddies.

And it's well written, funny, and with great music. Totally recommend.

The movie also has Mome Fortuna having a conversation with the female unicorn about identity and recognition of the true self. She also discusses immortality and her own form of mortality. Infact they discuss a third named female - the harpy Celano who takes no part in the conversation but listens intently.
There is no mention of men in this conversation at all.

K disagreed with the rating and said:
When the unicorn talks to Molly Grue for the very first time, they talk about Prince Lir and his love for her. So yes, when talking to Fortuna, it does pass the test, but overall? No.
