Line 253:
* [[Tsundere]]: Goes both ways. On one hand, a [[Tsundere]] will be hailed and fetishized as a "strong female character" whether she truly is or not and used by the [[Fan Dumb]] to bash other female character types [[Real Women Don't Wear Dresses|seen as "girlier, thus weaker"]]. At the same time, said [[Tsundere]] will almost always be [[Flanderization|flanderized into]] being [[Ax Crazy]] or [[Does Not Like Men|misandrist]] towards [[The Unfair Sex|her love interest and/or other men]], bringing up how [[Domestic Abuse|violence against men coming from women]] is either "justified", "cute", or "for laughs."
* [[Ugly Cute]]: '''MUCH''' more likely a reaction is said ugly person is male. Because ugliness in a woman is just unacceptable.
* [[Unrequited Love]]: Not in itself but more often are female characters tarred with unrequited romance than male characters, for it is [[Rated MforM for Manly|"manly"]] and normal for men to have [[Celibate Hero|no romantic]] [[Chaste Hero|desires]] whatsoever but all women should have feelings for at least one of the male characters.
* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]: A man going there is likely to be clobbered, whereas a woman who goes down the [[Trouser Space]] is at most frowned or yelled at.
* [[Wangst]]: The trope itself is gender neutral, however, you may notice that both in fiction and real life, people are more likely to call "Wangst" on ''men'' than they are for ''women'', although women aren't immune from wangst either.
