In a sense, it's hard to say if these women's conversations are about something besides a man. After all, the point of the story (written by Euripides 2500 years before modern feminism) is that real, live flesh-and-blood human-being women are used and objectified by men, and that it wreaks havoc on their souls. But still, I think it qualifies under the rule.

I do think it passes, but it is kind of hard to clock simply because there isn't a lot of dialogue in the traditional sense.

But I would argue that there are lines where Hecuba talks to Cassandra and Andromache about the fate that lies in store for them.
