This woman is a [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)|rapist]], [[Torture Technician|torturer]], or [[Domestic Abuse
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
Abusively sexy women often come off as one of three character types that are distinct but [[The Same but More Specific|too specific]] to have pages of their own:
Line 28:
* Louise and Saito's relationship from ''[[Zero no Tsukaima]]''. [[Whip It Good|Whipping]], [[Groin Attack|groin attacks]], [[Stuff Blowing Up|explosive magic]], etc. - you name it, Louise gives it to Saito.
* [[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstructed]] with Asuka Langley Soryu in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. She is accused of being this to Shinji Ikari, but her really bad treatment of Shinji is '''not''' shown as glamourised abuse, but rather as a sign of [[Freudian Excuse|how deeply messed up both of them are.]] [[Dysfunction Junction|And everyone else.]]
* 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
* Early ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhP8S-TfM3o Using false incrimination as a means of blackmail for exclusively material gains] is [[Kick the Dog|pretty despicable]].
* Athena of ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' used to [[Training From 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]].
Line 35:
* Mio of ''[[MM!]]'' intentionally plays this role towards Tarou in order to help him deal with his Masochism "problems" (though it doesn't seem to be far from her standard self). Mio physically and verbally abuses him in every way possible as a sort of "Shock Treatment".
* In ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'', Karina's sponsors like to play her Blue Rose superhero persona up as a sexy dominatrix. Being a relatively normal teenage girl in reality, she's not exactly comfortable with this.
* 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
* Araragi's relationship with Senjogahara in ''[[Bakemonogatari]]''. She verbally abuses him often and threatens physical violence or even death if the thought of cheating crosses his mind. {{spoiler|At the start of the sequel series she kidnapped and tortured him as her way of trying to protect him from her [[Arch Nemesis]]. It's implied she found enjoyment in his torture.}}
* In a chapter of the manga ''Torikago Gakyuu'', one of the characters wins a contest to have a date with his favorite model. Except, he's too shy to actually go through with it, so he gets protagonist [[The Woobie|Mikage]] to take her out for him while he watches. Mikage gets the surprise of his life when the model puts a collar and leash on him and forces him to walk on all fours and eat from the floor. {{spoiler|Turns out, the model isn't actually a [[Dominatrix]]; it's just her image. At the end, it's revealed that she was extremely uncomfortable treating Mikage that way.}}
Line 42:
== Comic Books ==
* 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
* Emma Frost, the White Queen of ''[[X-Men]]'' fame, is made of this trope, including [[Femme Fatale|rampant]] [[Jerk Justifications|patchwork]] [[Misaimed Fandom|apologism]].
* Pictured above, Mistress Mary, an alternate version [[Shazam|Mary Marvel]] who also happens to be a [[Dominatrix]]. She takes great joy in beating up [[Green Lantern|Guy Gardner]] (the guy pictured).
