Main female character 'Elle' briefly talks to her almost surrogate mum 'Mrs Flynn' about how school is going

the talk between 'Elle' and 'Mrs. Flynn' is 2 second long, and Elle alludes to boy problems in this brief talk.

Em disagreed with the rating and said:
The conversation between Elle and Mrs. Flynn is extrememly short and occurs because of her boy troubles. Even though these boy troubles are not directly states, it's obvious from the scene's context.

Elle talks to mrs flynn about boy issues. And the conversation for school is literally not a conversation
"Hows school going"
"Lets say interesting" end of conversation

Rozzy disagreed with the rating and said:
The movie was so wildly sexist, and the only time Elle talked to other girls, it was still about boys

This movie was so extremely sexist, I honestly have no idea why someone gave it a pass.

Drew Olds disagreed with the rating and said:
I honestly believe that a very sexist film should be able to pass so long as it still meets the requirements (like every version of Cinderella).

However, this one looks like a fairly clear fail.

This movie is not only painstakingly hollywood gender stereotyped, it also enables emotional and physical abuse. The only time Elle speaks to another woman is fleeting and alludes to her ongoing boy saga anyway. Two thumbs down for progress from me!

It’s a romantic comedy, of course it’s about love and boys and girls. I‘d also consider Ele to be a strong female character

the girls at the party, nor mrs flynn actually has a name in the movie and they don’t have a proper conversation that is not about boys, in my opinion it doesn’t pass
