I always found this one weird because how hard is it to write a conversation that's not about a man? Just take any conversation not about a man from anywhere in your work, and then make the speakers women with names.

It's weird that anyone fails it.

The test is a symptom of whether the text has women as normal characters that do stuff.

But this actual goal is hard to define, and if none of the women do any relevant stuff, they won't have any subject to talk about that doesn't involve a men. That said, the proxy test fails to reflect the actual test all the time.
