The female lead doesn't talk about a man, but doesn't interact with any other women.
There are other women around, figuratively playing secretaries, journalists or minor roles but without interacting with each other.

rk disagreed with the rating and said:
Marie, the lead, interacts with both Kate, a co-worker and her friend Rita. Rita begins to leave a party and Marie talks with her about Marie's life choices and alcoholism, nothing about a guy. It passes.

kbn disagreed with the rating and said:
Marie has a comment with her female friend (who does have a name in the movie, I am just blanking on it) in a sailboat about her potential PTSD, and recommends that she seek treatment for her flashbacks. Because of this Marie checks herself into treatment. This is not a conversation about a man, nor relationships.
