[[Alice and Bob|Alice (or sometimes Bob)]] is trying a bit too hard to make herself look good at the expense of other women (and maybe men), claiming superiority on the ground that she doesn't have as much sex as they do, doesn't dress as sexily as they do, or something like that. Accusing other women (or sometimes men) of being "skanks", "sluts", "cheap" and whatnot.
Often a tragic character portrayed as being overly prudish as a kind of [[Sour Grapes]]: "I deny myself my sexuality, so why don't these people do the same thing?". Thus "Sour Prudes". For extra irony, Alice might be pulling the [[Entitled to Have You]] card, based on being such a good girl. This can be especially tragic if she lives in a society where women are economically dependent on men, making her come across as justified -- or at least as a [[Troubled Sympathetic Bigot]] who is only trying to survive in [[No
''If'' this Alice has taken a vow of chastity (and she usually hasn't), she might ''also'' be a [[Strawman Political]] of the conservative kind. Note that a character who chose to be chaste -- without being a [[Jerkass]] about it -- is ''not'' this trope. If a character is accused of being this trope by another character, without being portrayed as such by the narrative, it counts as "[[Playing With a Trope|invoked]]" and does not go on character sheet pages.
