Little Red and Cinderella have a whole song that isn't related to men in anyway (no one is alone)

This would actually get a 0/3 in the ledhceB, or reverse Bechdel test, because there is only one male character with a name: Jack. Also, Florinda and Lucinda insult each other's clothes.

It actually trolls, as it intentionally fails, as one person already put it, the ledhceB test. The only conversation between two men is about women.

This story is full of many conversations between women.
However, in true fairy tale fashion, most of the characters are not named: the Witch, the Baker, the Baker's Wife, Jack's Mother, Cinderella's Prince, etc.
The only truly named characters are Cinderella, Jack, Rapunzel, Florinda and Lucinda.
Little Red Riding Hood is not her real name, it's a nickname based on her clothing, so she is arguable as a "named character".
Nevertheless, there are conversations between Cinderella, Florinda and Lucinda about getting ready for the ball that pass.
So even if you ignore all of the meaningful conversations that involve the Witch, the Baker's Wife, Jack's Mother, and Little Red Riding Hood along with Cinderella and Rapunzel, this is still a pass.
