Line 14:
This tends to be a [[Double Standard]] trope:
* Male characters tend to be chained to a rock as a form of punishment, often for grievously or [[egregious]]ly violating a divine edict of some sort (
* Female characters (more often than not: young, female, [[Virgin Power|virgin]], [[Beauty Equals Goodness|attractive]], [[Royal Blood|royal]], and wearing a revealing outfit or sometimes nothing at all) tend to be chained to a rock with the [[Fetish Fuel|intention]] that they will be [[Human Sacrifice|eaten by a monster/alien/whatever]]. This [[Damsel in Distress]] will more often than not be saved by a handsome hero. Indeed, many a desperate king has made a plea for someone, anyone to rescue the princess, and so [[Engagement Challenge|win the princess's hand in marriage.]] (Not that you can count on [[Dude, Where's My Respect?|his carrying out his part]].) Sometimes, any number of women have been sacrificed prior to the lot falling on [[Everything's Better with Princesses|the princess]]. Whereupon the hero will arrive to save the princess.
