Line 10:
In the rare cases where the genders are inverted, the angel will be indeed more masculine than the usual standard but he will mostly be here to highlight that [[Good Is Not Nice]] and will often be [[The Stoic|cold and unemotional]]. The demoness, on the other hand, will mostly be a [[Slut]], at best a [[Manipulative Bitch]] if non-sexualized, but she will seldom be portrayed as ''physically'' dangerous as her male counterpart. And don't expect any [[Dating Catwoman|romance]] between them if they ever happen to be on "friendly" terms because [[My Girl Is Not a Slut]].
 
Naturally, this trope often carries the [[Unfortunate ImplicationImplications]] that [[Double Standard|women are good and men are evil]]. Additionally, it could be said that [[Wish Fulfillment]] may come into play as well when there's romance involved ie the classical - read overused - plot of [[Reformed Rakes|a caring and merciful woman who redeems an evil man with love]]. And since the reverse doesn't exist in fiction, the message is clearly that [[Broken Aesop|a good man would never bother with redeeming an evil woman, or give her any time of the day to begin with.]] Or arguably, this is where [[All Men Are Perverts]] meets with [[Horny Devils|if she ain't broke, don't fix her]].
 
Notice [[Evil Sounds Deep]].
