Line 70:
* Inverted in ''Bethany's Sin'', where the Amazon-possessed women of the town not only browbeat their cringing husbands, but {{spoiler|amputate a limb from each, as they think that being amputees will concentrate the men's fertility and increase their own chances for daughters}}. They don't just spurn Hercules, they deliberately turn their men into his hapless, weakling opposites.
* Subverted in ''Reality Check'' by Charlie Brooks. Anne Westfeld is essentially an amazon who begins the novel dating the equivalent of Hercules in Jesse Gondolin, aka the Jungle Cat. However, {{spoiler|it turns out she really wants Greg Crispin, a physical weakling}}.
* ''[[Discworld]]'' by [[Terry Prachett]]
** Liessa Wyrmbidder and Hrun the barbarian in ''[[
** Obviously set up as this but played with a [[Subverted Trope|subversion]] in ''[[
* Desra of the ''[[Malazan Book of the Fallen]]'' believes that those with weak wills being subjugated to those with stronger wills. That is why {{spoiler|the only person she can imagine submitting to as a lover is Nimander, whose will has never faltered}}.
* Chris Hargenson experiences something like this in ''[[Carrie]]'' while, as your standard [[Alpha Bitch]] she is used to wrapping boys around her little finger but is drawn to Billy Nolan because he is the first boy she hasn't been "able to dance dandle at her whim" and he controls '''her''' in the relationship.
