Generally, the author portrays the [[Women Are Wiser|woman in question sympathetically]], and [[The Unfair Sex|vilifies whatever man]] drove her to hate the rest of his gender. The Spear Counterpart likewise is most commonly seen in romance fiction, where the male hero has had some bad past experience with women (either [[Mommy Issues|his]] [[My Beloved Smother|mother]] or a [[The First Cut Is the Deepest|faithless lover]]) and blames the entire gender - until the heroine comes along to change his worldview. Outside of a romance, an adult male who does not like women can be painted [[He-Man Woman Hater|as a complete villain]]. Only little boys are allowed to believe that [[Girls Have Cooties]].
 
Other times it's just [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshading]] to explain why a character isn't even seen with guys ([[Improbably-Fundamentally Female Cast|not even offscreen]]), to entice shippers, or just to extend the possibilities of romantic entanglement you can put into a story. It's frequent that eventually one character comments on this and takes it in its [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|most literal interpretation]]. Conversely, [[Bifauxnen]] and 'mundane' lesbian characters never seem to use this trope.
 
Compare [[Celibate Hero]], [[Licensed Sexist]] and [[Straw Feminist]].
Line 64:
* In [[Kaichou wa Maid-sama]]!, Title character and [[Student Council President]] Misaki Ayuzawa is seen as this, despite that she has a job as a maid, due to her flamboyant attitude towards the men and [[Straw Feminist|pro-female advocacy]]. {{spoiler|The reason she became this is because her father abandoned her and her family and disappeared due to tremendous debt.}}
* Arashiko Yuno from ''[[MM!]]!'' is similar to Mahiru in her actions, but not necessarily motivation. If a guy touches her, her reaction is a punch. Or a series of punches. Taro's a masochist, so he can take it.
* Mina Hazuki from ''[[Darker Thanthan Black]] '' is a Contractor who can turn anything into a [[Laser Blade]], and her renumeration for that power is to French kiss men, which she really doesn't like because she's a lesbian. She's not really as bad as most examples here since the most she usually does is keep her distance and "wash out the taste" by Frenching her [[The Team Normal|team's normal person]], Yoko.
* A male example occurs in the manga ''[[Usotsuki Lily]].'' En Shinohara is male, and loves girls, but absolutely hates men. It's to the point that he'll attack his ''own reflection'' out of pure reflex. His coping mechanism for this: [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Cross-dressing.]]
* Mayu Tsukimura from [[Goshuushou Sama Ninomiya Kun]] suffers from androphobia due to her uncontrollable ability as a Succubus to attract the opposite sex. However, her androphobia does not act up when it comes to the protagonist Shungo Ninomiya.
