Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Difference between revisions

Quite naturally, inverts classical gender stereotypes.

 

{{examples}}

 

* Andre and Oscar from ''[[Rose of Versailles (Manga)|Rose of Versailles]]''. Perhaps not a textbook example, since Andre is not tremendously effeminate. But Andre is the more sensitive and people oriented one, while Oscar is very direct and more goal oriented. Oscar is referred to as the "light", and Andre as the "shadow".

* [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Anime)|Junko and Tomohisa Kaname]]. Junko isn't a super tomboy (more of a [[Hot Mom]]), but she ''is'' the most straightforward of the two as well as a [[Bottle Fairy]], whereas Tomohisa is a levelheaded [[House Husband]] and a borderline male [[Yamato Nadeshiko]].

* ''[[Baka to Test To Shoukanjuu]]'' with the identical twins Yuuko (masculine girl) and Hideyoshi (feminine boy) Kinoshita. While Yuuko is typically feminine in traits (such as being good at cooking), her personality fit this trope because of her aggressive, prideful, arrogant, quick-to-anger, and competitive behavior. Hideyoshi on the other hand is calm, helpful, and supportive. Ironically, he is also much more popular than Yuuko, much to her dismay, because of [[Attractive Bent Gender|his]] [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|looks]].

* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' has the title's [[Battle Butler|Hayate Ayasaki]] being quite feminine and being domestic enough to make women around him feel as if their femininity is challenged and has so far attracted at least one guy who was completely straight before (and fell in love when he thought Hayate was a woman only to later decide it didn't matter). {{spoiler|He does, however, possess some masculine traits, such as his strength and skill at swords and firearms}}. Matching him is the pink-haired swordswoman [[Student Council President|Hinagiku Katsura]] who is intelligent, highly athletic, and cooler than any guy at school...making her the idol of the school and attracting both guys and girls alike, and possibly the manliest character in the whole series. {{spoiler|However, telling her that she can't do something that would be called girly (cooking, housework, etc.) and/or her chest isn't feminine (at least two times) (i.e. she is flat-chested), or just groping it just once [[Berserk Button|would make her rage]].}} However, each is a bit of a blend in traits, with Hayate trying to be more blue to impress her and Hinagiku trying to be more pink to catch his interest.

* ''[[Coraline (Film)|Coraline]]'' and Wybie. While [[The Woobie|Wybie's]] not girly per se, [[Kid Hero|Coraline]] is definitely the more aggressive of the two.

* There was a short film featured on [[Logo]] that showed a [[Gender Flip]] of a heterosexual wedding. The bride wore a black pantsuit; the groom wore a white tuxedo and veiled top hat, and held the bouquet as his mother walked him down the aisle. He was also kind of short. Even among the wedding-goers, all the men wore different suits while the women were dressed more low-key. The whole thing was brilliant.

* In the movie ''Lover Come Back'', Jerry Webster is emotional and intuitive, while Carol Templeton is logical and reserved. This is taken [[Up to Eleven]] when Webster pretends to be a chemist to trick her.

* [[Kung Fu Panda]] has Tigress and Po, who aren't an [[Official Couple]] but have plenty of [[Ship Tease]]. Tigress is a tough-as-nails warrior who lacks [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]], while Po (who is also a skilled fighter, mind you) has a more cheerful and spirited personality and is an excellent cook.

** Yellow Racer and Blue Racer from ''[[Gekisou Sentai Carranger]]''

** Gokai Yellow and Gokai Green from ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (TV)|Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]''

** The Doctor lampshades it by referring to them as 'the Ponds' after their marriage, instead of 'The Williams'. Rory doesn't seem very bothered by it.

** And although Rory [[Took a Level In Badass|has taken NUMEROUS levels in BadAss]] to the point of becoming a [[Memetic Badass|Memetic version]], he still remains by choice utterly under his wife's thumb. Hell, managing to spend two thousand years waiting and not going insane was [[Undying Loyalty|for her benefit]].

** Meryl and her partner Dave in ''[[Policenauts]]'' also qualify.

* ''[[Persona 4]]'' has Kanji Tatsumi (master tailor) and {{spoiler|Naoto Shirogane}} ([[Bokukko]] and {{spoiler|[[Sweet Polly Oliver]]}}) The fact that the first has a crush on the 2nd both before and ''after'' the reveal makes his [[Ambiguously Gay]] natures [[Internet Backdraft|much worse, or better, or whatever.]]

* [[Super Mario Bros|Luigi]], the [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man|sensitive guy to Mario's manly man]] and Daisy, the [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|tomboy to Peach's girly girl]], whenever they're paired.

* From ''[[Phoenix Wright]] [[Ace Attorney]]'': [http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/6123/desireeyrondelitebylawy.jpg Ron & Desireé DeLite]. Ron's an effeminate, shy, lovestruck man who looks way younger than he is. Desireé's a fun loving, motorbike riding, adventurous woman.
