Vineland Bechdel

[Michael Bailey]

VL itself isn’t super long on non-man-centered conversations between named
females - they’re there, though:

DL and Frenesi though they aren’t very verbal with each other;

I think Prairie gets a few choice words with Frenesi at the family reunion

Ditzah and Zipi, though they are minor, and pretty fringey;

the Head Ninjette

& Sasha’s got some colloquies with Frenesi, right?

But yeah, quite a challenge to write Bechdel-compliantly as a dude: to
detourn Samuel Johnson, “not that it’s done well, but that it’s done at
all.”
BE gets closer.
