* Discussed in ''[[Misfile]]''. One day at school, Ash, a ''very'' reluctant male-to-female [[Gender Bender]], punches a long-standing male rival in response to extreme—but purely ''verbal''—provocation. A physical confrontation results, and the rival gets a severe punishment, while Ash gets off very lightly. Ash irritably notes that this is [[Double Standard|completely unfair]], since ''he'' threw the first punch, and was only treated differently because he is "female". Ash is upset both about yet another reminder that he's "a girl", ''and'' the sexist [[Double Standard]] . |

* In ''[[Twokinds]]'', [[The Chick|Flora]] ripping through [[Chivalrous Pervert|Eric]]'s shirt and leaving bloody gashes on his chest is played for laughs. Eric's brother pulling his slave [[Ms. Fanservice|Katharine]]'s hair makes him a dickhead. |

* In ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', the female mercs often send male mercs to the infirmary needing ''reconstructive surgery'', in response to accidental insults or reflexive lechery. The reverse never happens, and the women are never punished. And on occasion the female doctor performs said reconstructive surgery without pain relievers because of finding out about said "chauvinism". |

* Subverted in ''[[Questionable Content]]'' when a woman who drives around in a vespa attacking boys who are awful to their girlfriends is stopped by Martin and Faye. When they ask her to imagine a guy doing the same to women who treat their boyfriends like crap, she says that she'd have no problem with that...and ask for his phone number. In the same comic, the fact that Faye uses Martin as a punching bag is shown to be the result of severe mental trauma, and she gets called out on it more than once and tries to be better about it, mostly shifting to [[Deadpan Snarker|snark]] as the comic goes on. |
