Line 94:
* This trope is carried out in the [[Clint Eastwood]] film ''The Rookie'' as a punishment to the tied up relentless tough cop by his captor woman. His sole reaction was insisting "she did not sit on my face" after his partner ridiculed him about it.
* In ''[[40 Days and 40 Nights|Forty Days and Forty Nights]]'' the protagonist vows not to have sex or masturbate during Lent. During said period, he meets and falls in love with a girl. Just to be sure, he spends the last night of Lent chained to his bed, falls asleep {{spoiler|and awakens being raped by his EX-girlfriend. His girlfriend walks in and [[Sincerity Mode|quite naturally]] assumes he's being lying to her the whole time. To top it off he later has to ''apologize'' to his girlfriend for this, and the ex both wins a bet and gets off scot-free. The protagonist's best friend even says, "This doesn't seem like one of those 'truth shall set you free' situations", when, actually, it seems like precisely that type of situation}}. Woo, boy were people ''pissed''.
* In ''[[Reefer Madness (Film)|Reefer Madness]]'', either on stage or the Showtime adaptation, a male character tries to use marijuana to seduce an ingenue. Things go drastically, [[Black Comedy Rape|hilariously]], [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|sadomasochistically wrong for him]]. The audience doesn't really have much sympathy for him, even as he cries out, "Help, this crazy tomato is raping me!" Definitely a case of [[Laser-Guided Karma]], but, presumably, would have been less acceptable had the genders been reversed.
* In the [[Jim Carrey]] film ''[[Yes Man (Film)|Yes Man]]'', the protagonist promises to say yes to everything. He is propositioned by an old woman who lives in his building, and when he tries to say no, he is karmically punished. Think for a second about how this would be treated if the protagonist was a woman.
* This trope is played for laughs in [[Hamburger The Movie]]. A woman pulls a machine gun on the main character while wearing nothing but a pair of panties. She forces him on the bed and demands to have sex with him. He gets out of the situation by pretending to be a homosexual, making her leave. [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|Oddly enough, neither character mentions this throughout the rest of the film]].
Line 158:
* In ''[[Farscape]]'', Grayza seems to be a believer in this trope: when about to rape Crichton, she boasts that her interrogations are ''so'' much better than those of Scorpius. Crichton doesn't agree in the slightest, and takes the time to remind her during Grayza's [[Villainous Breakdown]].
* 70s soap opera parody ''Soap'' has a plotline in which Danny Dallas breaks into the house of Mafia boss Charles Lefkowitz only to be caught by his daughter, who demands sex from him at gunpoint. This is played for comedy, [[Sarcasm Mode|naturally]].
* ''[[That '70s Show]]'', Kelso is essentially cornered in his van by Laurie and she forces herself on him while he protests, but gradually the nos turn to yeses. The entire incident is [[Played for Laughs]]; Hyde listens outside casually, even pulling up a chair, and later on Kelso is laughing happily that he got to have sex with her,
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': Xander, a while after consensual sex with Faith in "The Zeppo", goes to visit her in "Consequences" and she pins him to the bed and almost rapes him, before deciding to strangle him instead. Although Angel, who rescues him, is clearly outraged at Faith, there's no reference to the incident after the episode in question except a small "hear, hear" of agreement from Xander when Giles says he doesn't want Faith in combat around civilians in "Doppelgangland". Buffy even assigns Xander to go-look-for-Faith duty in "Consequences" itself after the incident. One wonders if he told anyone about it. When Faith reappears near the end of the series, Xander never once says "Wait a minute, she sexually assaulted me, I don't want her on my team."
** Another Xander example is the second season where, with Amy's help, he tries to cast a love spell on Cordelia, his ex. Unfortunately, it backfires, and every woman in Sunnydale BUT Cordy is now madly in love with him. None of them succeed, and it was his fault, but it's still a little unnerving.
Line 218:
 
== Music ==
* Somewhat of a subversion in [[Pink]]'s music video for "Please Don't Leave Me", where the singer holds her boyfriend captive after he attempts to leave her. Although rape isn't explicitly shown, it's strongly implied. She's portrayed [[Yandere (disambiguation)|as a total madwoman]], but at least gets her comeuppance at the end.
* INXS' video for "Taste It." It's either this or some particularly bizarre BDSM. It does not help when Hutchance is screaming "Never! Never! Never!" as his clothes are being cut off.
* In [[Britney Spears]]'s "Womanizer", the singer seduces her husband using several disguises, possible to test his fidelity. Nothing too bad at first. But her advances gain force as the video progresses, till she's violently taking him against his will. At the end of the video, she beats him into submission, and all three of her personas rape him.
