Actually it passes all three tests. Norah and Caroline talk about boys, but they also talk about music and Caroline's drinking problem.

Although it happens in the course of the same conversation, Joe is right, Norah and Caroline do talk about their musical tastes, Tris, and Caroline's drinking, none of which are men or men-focused topics.

Tris is a guy-related subject, but she's not a guy. A device at the forefront of the film is a female friendship that is not based on men, so I don't see how this fails to pass the test.
