Joan Hadley and her mother (Mrs Hadley), talk to each other four or five times over the course of the movie, but mostly talking about men. There is one conversation that I think counts as talking about something else.

Mrs Hadley asks Joan to phone her doctor (a man). She cannot get through, so she tells her mother that the wind must have blown the lines down, and offers to get her another cup of coffee. It follows immediately from talking about a men (although about Mrs Hadley's nerves), and it's short, so it's dubous, but I think it counts.
