Bastard Girlfriend: Difference between revisions

[[File:MistressMary_4327MistressMary 4327.png|frame|Surely, he's happy to be at her feet. And if not, [[You Bastard|the audience]] will [[Men Are the Expendable Gender|not care]].]]

This woman is a [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)|rapist]], [[Torture Technician|torturer]], or [[Domestic Abuse|Domestic Abuser]]r. Her abusiveness [[Romanticized Abuse|makes her sexy]], just like her [[Bastard Boyfriend|male counterpart]]. Like him, she is based on the [[Rule of Sexy]].

She is more likely than her male counterpart to be a temporary sexual encounter rather than a long-term girlfriend. And while the victim of a [[Bastard Boyfriend]] tends to come across as a lovable [[The Woobie|Woobie]] or sexy [[Love Martyr]], some stories with a [['''Bastard Girlfriend]]''' make her victims come across as [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)|deserving whatever they get]], or that [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)|sexual acts done by females don't really count]]. There's also sometimes a naive attitude that such a thing [[All Abusers Are Male|can never happen for real anyway]].

* Louise and Saito's relationship from ''[[ZeroThe noFamiliar Tsukaimaof Zero]]''. [[Whip It Good|Whipping]], [[Groin Attack|groin attacks]], [[Stuff Blowing Up|explosive magic]], etc. - you name it, Louise gives it to Saito.

* Akane and Shampoo in ''[[Ranma ½]]'' tend to fall into different variations of this. Shampoo often doesn't hesitate to transform herself into a cat while clearly knowing Ranma is deeply scared of cats, and seems to enjoy treating Mousse miserably. In regards to Akane she's more of an explosive type, beating Ranma without mercy when he presses her [[Berserk Button|Berserk Buttons]]s.

* Athena of ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' used to [[Training Fromfrom Hell|teach Hayate with kicks to the gut]] (he complained), when he had to be able to support her for the rest of her life when they were both around 6 years old. Athena is of the ASB variety, who ''does'' get better ''and'' shows [[Hidden Depths]] {{spoiler|(in her case, she's a girl driven into almost complete despair for being trapped in a [[Gilded Cage]], and later, is the victim of [[Demonic Possession]]).}}. But her haters [[Ron the Death Eater|love to ignore it]] [[Die for Our Ship|for the sake of]] [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]].

* Practically the entire plot of ''[[Domina no Do]]''. Hikari, the main female lead, was raised with two ''very'' rich parents who are also into BDSM, and who make no effort whatsoever to hide this, even from their young children. This has colored her entire outlook on life -- forlife—for example, she once offered let the main male lead kiss her foot to cheer him up, and is flabbergasted when he reacted poorly.

* Subverted with Celty and Shinra in ''[[Durarara!!]]''. Sure, Celty punches Shinra and wraps him up in her shadows all the time, but it is outright stated that [[Too Kinky to Torture|Shinra actually]] ''[[Too Kinky to Torture|enjoys]]'' [[Too Kinky to Torture|the abuse]] and tends to goad her on for it. It's a very symbiotic relationship.

* In ''[[Pondus]]'', Jocke used to have a horrible love-life before he found Camilla. Sometimes, he found a sexy woman instead of the regular flood of [[Abhorrent Admirer|Abhorrent Admirers]]s, but he usually ended up getting tortured by her rather than having a good time.

* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20140207104216/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ROGOHNSEBs Use Me]'' by Bill Withers.

* In the song "[httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20151121222845/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjo8RDpsaKc Poison]" by [[Alice Cooper]], the protagonist perceives his [[Love Interest]] as being this trope.

* ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'': drow society runs on this trope. The race is comprised completely of sadists, but women rule. Women of noble houses have the right to take any man they want — consent doesn't enter into the equation. Men can be put to death for refusing advances.

* PeeJee and Aubrey in ''[[Something *Positive]]'' used to put their friends in hospital on a regular basis and sought out random strangers to assault when they got bored of that. Usually, they preferred to attack men, but they had no qualms against violence towards their fellow women. Both seem to have settled down somewhat recently, though. Rarely in the comic do men harm women, and [[Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male)|usually, they got called out for it]], but, admittedly, Davan did [[Grievous Harm with a Body|beat the two up with his cat]] once. Kim outdid them all, though, {{spoiler|when she raped an unconscious Davan. [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)|He seemed remarkably calm about this]], but then Davan remains astonishingly detached in a lot of situations.}}
