[[Pirate|Pirates]]. Villains of the seven seas, lovable rogues who rob other pirates, or what have you. Strong or handsome men, with ladies either afraid of or swooning over them...

Can be [[Truth in Television]] -- historically, a number of female pirates did plough the seas along with the men, sometimes rising to positions of authority. However, most of them did by disguising themselves as men; Carribean pirates codes often called for the death penalty or marrooning for any pirate who brought a woman onboard. In the modern world, women might have a place on pirate ships (often referred to these days as maritime terrorists) depending on the local culture.
Line 63:
* ''[[Dread Mac Farlane]]'', a French comic about a girl who goes to Neverland and grows up among the Lost Boys (let's not explore exactly how she, y'know, GROWS UP in Neverland), then leaves them to join Captain Hook and his crew in the exciting life of a pirate.

** In the [[Big Finish]] audio adventure ''[[Big Finish Doctor Who (Radio)/043 Doctor Who and the Pirates/Recap|Doctor Who and the Pirates]]'', the Sixth Doctor attempts to pass off his companion Evelyn Smythe as 'Evil Evelyn, the Pirate Queen'.

Line 281:
