Wait, what about the scene when they all sit around discussing their periods?

Although yes talking about periods is something other than talking about men, I hardly feel that this breaks any social stereotypes of female conversation. If anything I'm more disgusted to learn the film includes even more stereotype! Could the film makers really not think of any other topics covered by women other than men and their periods!

The rule doesn't state that women cannot have stereotypical conversation, it states that they cannot be only talking about men. This movie may be sexist, but it does pass the test.

It doesn't matter, Anna. Talking about periods is a conversation that doesn't include men, so the movie passes the test.

Isn't the fact that they are talking about their periods breaking the taboo (that women are not expected to speak about them)? Isn't that, in some sense, progressive?

Dejan, I felt the same way while watching!

Of course, there is a man present and even participating in the period pity party, the gay roommate.
