▲[[File:real-women-dont-wear-dresses_silent-hill_5621.png|link=Silent Hill (Film)|right| Guess which of these women is the tough, competent one.]]
A woman is shown as weak, incompetent, and ineffectual in this trope unless she dresses and behaves like a man. A common variation on this is to present a woman as superior because she's "not like other women." Another variation is a [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]] scenario, where the tomboy is presented as superior.
