Straw Feminist: Difference between revisions

* Women from [[Marvel Comics|Thundra's future]] fit this trope to a 'T'. After their reality merged with its [[Spear Counterpart]] the result had both sexes living together in peace. Thundra later found another such reality, basically the copy of her original one, lived there for awhile and then came back to present leaving there a daughter Lyra who grew up into another [[Straw Feminist]] but [[All of the Other Reindeer|for a number]] [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much|of reasons]] [[Character Development|changed for better]].

* Parodied in a [[Gail Simone]] issue of ''[[Wonder Woman]]'', in a [[Stylistic Suck|really bad movie]] of Diana's life (actually created by a villain):

'''Old Amazon''': They love war! Them, and worse, [[All Men Are Perverts|their women!]] And worst of all...<br />

'''Wonder Woman''' ''([[Thought Caption]])'': Please don't say it, please don't say it.<br />

* The "Womynists" in ''[[PCU]]''.

* ''[[The Hairy Bird]]'':

Verena: I know, but I've been thinking, perhaps they are like dogs. If we don't take them in, they run wild and are a danger to society. }}

 

* Jade from ''PvP'' once qualified as a Straw Feminist. This was most notable when she left [[PvP]] to start up her own women's gaming magazine, where she even drove her fellow female writers insane.

* No stranger to Strawfolk, ''[[Nip and Tuck]]'' has Hortense, perpetually angry lizard womyn (although she seems to exist less to potshot Feminism, as to piss off the local [[Jerk Jock|Troglajocks]] so Tuck can swoop in play the badass, and to give Tuck's girlfriend Thelma someone to look good next to).

* ''[[The Wotch]]'' has [http://thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2006-07-03 D.O.L.L.Y.] a militant feminist terrorist organization led by {{spoiler|Ms. Natasha Dahlet}} who want to [[Lady Land|eradicate men from the world]]. Not by [[Gendercide|killing them]], but by turning them female via [[Magitek]]. They try to recruit Anne who is well known for using her magic for [[Gender Bender|gender bending]]. {{spoiler|While [[Literal Split Personality|a physical personification of Anne's anger]] does join them, Anne herself turns the tables on them by [[Karmic Transformation|turning many of the members of D.O.L.L.Y. male]].}} Notably, most the members of the group {{spoiler|are actually brainwashed, only really Natasha and her [[The Dragon|Dragon]] (of sorts) Cory are really committed to the "cause"}}. The author actually precedes the arc with a strip where she appears and explains that there really isn't suppose to be any political message or anything.

* ''[[The Japanese Beetle]]'' has the New Order of Women, a fusion of the real NOW and the [[WCW|NWO]] - literally, since the members were all combinations of feminists and wrestlers, like "Hollywood" Dworkin. In their initial appearance, they attempt to put Die-Agra, a "male potence cure", in the city's water supply. At one point, they're beating on the Beetle (whose pained cries make it sound like they're raping him), as the two leaders look on and nod approvingly.
