Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male): Difference between revisions

* Averted in ''[[Sensitive Pornograph]]'' with Mari. Ten days after his wife's accidental death, he's still badly bruised. His childhood friend Gouzou is worried and somewhat shocked when he hears of the domestic abuse. Also [[Played for Drama]] and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]] as Mari's little twin sons ask Gouzou to not hurt Papa.

 

* ''[[V for Vendetta]]'' : No one felt sympathy for Conrad Heyer, the abused husband of the domineering and ruthless [[Manipulative Bitch|Helen Heyer]] but everyone felt sorry for the equally abused Rosemary Almond whose horrible husband would neglect and batter her at the drop of a hat. The characters in-universe likely didn't care about either case due to it being a [[Crapsack World]]. The reader, however, is meant to feel just as sorry for Conrad as Rosemary. Whether or not they actually do is obviously up to the reader.

* ''[[The Flash|Impulse]]'': This in a one-issue story where Impulse noticed one of his male classmates turning up with suspicious injuries. It actually did get remembered for a (little) while, as in a later issue {{spoiler|the boy's mother gets visited in the mental hospital she was put in.}}

** [[Cool Big Sis|Sheyla]]'s violence on her brother Razzia was slightly played for laught in a flashback, though it was justified; she had just rescued him from bullies, and was mad he didn't defend himself. {{spoiler|Ironically enough, he eventually learnt how to fight and became stronger than her, only to end up killing her by mistake when they ended up on opposite sides.}}

** Tenebris has moments hitting Razzia during Book 13 when [[Clingy Jealous Girl|he start displaying peeping moments when seeing Jadina in underwears]]. This is gradually deconstructed as the book goes however, with her becoming more and more aggressive as the story goes, in a less and less funny way (she ends up treathening him to cut his other arm off when he [[What the Hell, Hero?|call her out for trying to kill Kasino's assassins and taking pleasure to it]]). {{spoiler|It's eventually revealed to be justified, due to Abyss [[Brainwashed and Crazy|brainwashing her]] with his [[Puppeteer Parasite]] abilities}}.

* The "free comic day" [[Scott Pilgrim]] [[Department of Redundancy Department|comic]] surprisingly confronts this; Scott is attacked by female ninjas and, much to the chagrin of Ramona and Wallace, ''refuses to defend himself because he doesn't want to hit a girl''. Despite its somewhat important message, '''''it should be noted it's [[Played for Laughs]].'''''
