'Safe'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
My life is pretty much all women, all the time. Except for one couple (men) I see several times per week. At the moment, nearly all my clients are women as well.
When I'm with them...well, I can't think of the last conversation I had about men.
Present company excepted, of course.
I see many women at work, amongst them is the lovely Alibelle. I also have female friends outside of work, but I don't see many friends (male or female) one-on-one much anymore. It's usually hanging with another couple or having a few people over for dinner. Don't know if that's good or bad, just how it is.
I went to an all-girls high school and got kind of burned out on female companionship, so in college most of my friends were guys. Nowadays it's pretty much balanced out.
[Though thinking about it, most of my real-life conversations probably fail the Bechdel test because most of my offline friends are other parents, and I have a boy. Our kids aren't the only thing we talk about, but it would be unusual for the topic not to come up at all.]

Pretty funny, Raq. Although, seriously, I'm not often the lead in my own life.
I used to be the only female at the comic book shop or the gaming store but these days I run into girls everywhere. The last time I went to a porno shop- myself and another woman were the ones in there.
My daughter got her belly button pierced a few weeks ago at a tattoo place and at one point every single customer was a woman.
I watched Sunshine Cleaning tonight (which totally passes the Bechdel), and I was very amused by the little too much candy scene. I don't know if it was mentioned here when it first came out.
Just watched Paranormal Activity.
Scarier than I was expecting, but ultimately meh. And of course I spent most of the time yelling at the protagonists for being dumbasses.
The DH, at one point: "You have that huge television! Turn on Supernatural and learn something!"
