Charles said:
1) Passes, there a several named women

2) Passes, though the conversation between Mother Superior and Sister Margaret doesn't count on the fact that Mother Superior is a title rather than a name, the minor character of Denise does talk with her younger sister, Cindy

3) Passes, barely. The majority of the conversation between Denise and Cindy is about Santa Claus, but part of their conversation seems to pass:

Denise:Cindy, go back to bed right this minute.
Cindy: But I can't sleep.

That's it. Overall, the movie is a slasher sleaze-fest featuring violence (including rape) towards women and mindless female nudity... so it's very sexist .
