... CS Lewis remarks somewhere that "the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up" are among the childish things one must put away as one matures.

To answer the tweet question, I'd say it depends on the context of the discussion. Mary Magdalene singing "I Don't Know How to Love Him" is definitely "talking about a man" in the Bechdel Test sense. Guenevere and Elaine in the cartoon aren't talking about the man, they're discussing their life philosophies with occasional reference to an agreed authority who happens to be male. And the fact that they're rounded enough characters to have a life philosophy - and don't both have the same life philosophy - is the kind of thing the Bechdel Test is trying to encourage.
