Women and girls are action and adventure heroes nowadays, just like men and boys are. They get into dangerous situations, face menacing villains, get captured, and even get into fights.

* Averted with a motherfucking ''vengeance'' in the [[Ikki Tousen]] manga. Every time the [[Action Girl]]s get into major fights, it's a sure thing that either one or more of the ladies will not just get [[Clothing Damage]] by the wazoo, but she/they will get beaten bloody, [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot|vomit on-screen]], or [[Bring My Brown Pants|wet herself/themselves]]. And at least one of them has been permanently mutilated ( {{spoiler|Manga!Ten'i, who lost an arm}}).

 

* Male example: While earlier fics kept him pretty even through abuse, the [[That Guy With The Glasses]] [[Kink Meme]] has been averting this with a vengeance for [[The Nostalgia Critic]] lately. He's been mutilated, snuffed, cut up, had his eyes gouged out, beaten while gangraped, bitten clean through his tongue when he was beheaded in public... you name whatever torture, it's been done to the poor guy.

* [[Ultimate SpiderWoman|Mary Jane Watson]] has been smashed into walls, zapped with electrical bolts, slashed by razor bats, burned with flame, and been punched square in the face, but she's never suffered any permanent scars or blemishes. Her injuries tend to heal rather quickly by themselves once she gets some rest, although she [[Cut Himself Shaving|still sometimes has to explain how she got hurt in the first place.]] She typically claims that she was caught up in a supervillain attack, which is more plausible than you might think because of how many supervillains are causing mayhem in New York at any given time.
