Tinu disagreed with the rating and said:
It is just brief, but K.W. (a female character) and Judith talk to each other:

K.W.: Yeah, he heard you, Judith. Everyone always hears you.
Judith: You think you have power, K.W.?
That's not real power.

This makes it pass at least 2 of 3 criteria. Moreover this short interaction is not really talking about a guy, but rather about the issues they have with each other.

So I would argue it passes all 3 criteria, even though due to the briefness of this interaction rather dubiously
