* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fandom book ''Chicks Dig Time Lords'' includes an essay about companion Nyssa of Traken. The author points out that many of Nyssa's episodes pass the Bechdel test, and includes a brief explanation of what the test is.
* In [[Belisarius Series]] female characters regularly talk about politics and war to each other which is technically about men(as they form the vast majority of those who take part in such activities in the Middle Ages)but only intermittently about individual men and then often in their position as strategic chess pieces rather then as people. Irene and Antonina have one conversation which is primarily about Empress Theodora who is of course a woman. It does mention men as a by the way as of course her career was in fact [[Captain Obvious|affected by men.]]
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[Questionable Content]]'' references the reverse Bechdel test in the title of [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1426 this strip].
* Discussed starting in [http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/04-the-bechdel-test/thehangover/ this] ''[[Dumbing of Age]]'' strip. Also played with -- as pointed out in the last panel, most [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|lesbian porn]] will automatically pass the Bechdel Test. It further elaborates on the flaws of the test not necessarily indicating feminism, and later one male character implies that his own life would not pass the reverse Bechdel Test.
* ''[[Skin Horse]]'' namechecks it [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=45896 here], when even the lesbian cast member decides it's fine to discuss local [[Memetic Sex God]] Tip.
