* In ''[[Silicon Wolfpack]]'', [[Nice Guy|Murgatroyd]] gets KO'd by an [[Action Girl]] because she thinks he's trying to steal her car. His friends naturally think this is hilarious, and one of them points out that speed and flexibility count for more than power.

* When Margo and Malcolm spar in ''[[Time Scout]], their first two bouts go to Malcolm. The last two go to Margo.

* Gerald Tarrand, [[Villain Protagonist]] of ''[[Coldfire Trilogy]]'' is not remotely pleased to learn that the [[Evil Sorcerer]] who defeated him in the first book is actually a woman using a masculine title. Of course, the fact that he's a vampire who normally prefers to feed on young women makes it a particularly galling role reversal for him.
