Fundamentally Female Cast: Difference between revisions

{{quote|'''Yukinari:''' Man, and I thought there were too many girls here ''before...''|[[Girls Bravo]]}}

AnA '''Fundamentally Female Cast''' is when a work's cast is dominated by women in a situation where this is incredibly unlikely. This can range from males being present in the setting but not given screen time or importance to the story, to literally the majority of the people in the main setting are female. As a side effect, you can expect any male characters that do appear to gravitate to [[Satellite Character|satellite status]]. Older women (where "older" can mean "[[Christmas Cake|over twenty-five]]") don't tend to fare much better.

* ''[[Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure Dual]]'' enagaged in a bit of [[Lampshade Hanging]] with this trope, by claiming that only females were capable of piloting the series' [[Humongous Mecha]]. The lone male exception was a special case.

* In the ''[[Discworld]]'' book ''[[Discworld/Monstrous Regiment|Monstrous Regiment]]'', it's implied that a good majority of the Borogravian military consists of cross-dressing females who have fooled almost everyone, including each other. In fact, only three soldiers are confirmed male: Lieutenant Blouse, who tells the other regiment members that they could never pull off dressing as female; Paul, Polly's older brother; and the man who supposedly got Shufti pregnant (though she rejected him). Everyone (except Blouse) in the eponymous regiment is female. Hell, it's revealed at the end of the book that {{spoiler|the masculine Jackrum is actually a woman and has been faking for so long that she's more comfortable as a male. S/he even goes to visit his/her son and tell him that s/he is his father}}. At first, you're led to believe that it's really a [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys]], but nope. This is possibly because the war (wars?) has been going on for so long that there aren't any men ''left''.
