Line 82:
* [[Abduction Is Love]]: An [[Always Female]] kidnapping is love scenario.
* [[All Amazons Want Hercules]], [[Best Her to Bed Her]], [[No Guy Wants an Amazon]]: Strong women can only find their fulfillment with stronger men.
* [[All Lesbians Want Kids]]: A so-called [[Truth in Television]] that is, in many or even most cases, just not true at all. But enforced many times and often focusing mainly on [[Did Not Do the Research|the difficulty of finding a semen donor]], who invariably turns out to be a straight man. Usually stems from the fact that [[Most Writers Are Male|Most Writers Are Straight Males]] and have only a limited understanding (sometimes coloured by [[Fetish Fuel|unrealistic]] [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|fantasy]]) of how [[Useful Notes/The Bechdel Test|relationships]] between homosexual women work, and / or a desire to reassure themselves (and the male audience) that men still form a vital part in women's lives, even if the women in question are gay.
* [[All Women Are Lustful]]: Should normally be the [[Distaff Counterpart]] to [[All Men Are Perverts]] but is currently a [[Forgotten Trope]] that is almost never used, almost never played straight and almost never treated as negatively as the male version. Since women have no sexual potency, today's female wantonness is either seen as good service for males, or as a positive emancipation.
* [[All Women Are Prudes]]: Replaces [[All Women Are Lustful]] in all modern fiction. Women have absolutely no sex drive and do not want, desire, or even ''enjoy'' sex whatsoever. They only have sex with men to get men to marry them, do/buy stuff for them, or to [[Babies Make Everything Better|get pregnant]]. Having no sex drive also means pulling off a [[Lysistrata Gambit]] is cakewalk to them.
