{{quote|''There are now women politicians, women soldiers, women scientists, women astronauts. But our mission is only half-done: we still haven't prevented men from doing those things!''|'''April June''', ''Chilly Beach''}}

 

A character whose feminism is drawn only for the purposes of either proving them wrong or ridiculing them.

 

More likely to fight an [[Windmill Political|imaginary male conspiracy]] rather than actually helping disadvantaged women, often [[Does Not Like Men|being an out-and-out misandrist]] and often have exaggerated beliefs.

== Anime ==

 

* [[Royal Canadian Air Farce]] did a bit called "Man Bash", a mock [[Game Show]] featuring a [[Straw Feminist]] host who made the male contestant's life hell, while overly praising and helping the female contestant.

 

== Tabletop Games ==

* Wendy Testaburger in ''[[South Park]]'' can sometimes be this, depending on how Parker and Stone portray her in an episode (combined or not with her already being a [[Soapbox Sadie]]). This trope also can apply to portrayals of the other female characters, though Wendy is usually the only one you see mentioned as one by certain fans not fond of the character. But when she's not a Straw Feminist? She's portrayed too "[[Real Women Never Wear Dresses|sickeningly weak and girly]]" for fans.

* Numbuh 86/Fanny from ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' came off as this in her first few appearances, where she would blame any problems on the boys and refused to share credit with them. Later episodes [[Characterization Marches On|revised her characterization]] to be less sexist and more just generally unfriendly.
