Line 44:
* Gerald Tarrand, [[Villain Protagonist]] of ''[[Coldfire Trilogy]]'' is not remotely pleased to learn that the [[Evil Sorcerer]] who defeated him in the first book is actually a woman using a masculine title. Of course, the fact that he's a vampire who normally prefers to feed on young women makes it a particularly galling role reversal for him.
* In the ''[[Encyclopedia Brown]]'' series it is a constant source of embarrassment for [[The Bully|Bugs Meany]] that he got beat up by [[Cute Bruiser|Sally Kimball.]]
* [[Older Than Feudalism]] example, from ''[[The Bible]]'' no less, Judges 9:23-27. Short version, Gideon had a son named Abimelek who decided to murder his siblings (all 70 of them) in order to be ruler of Israel, but one of them, Jotham, escaped. The two brothers fought for control of Israel, Abimelek ultimately winning. Which God did not like at all. So he sent a “spirit of ill will” to convince everyone in the city to revolt against Abimelak. He slaughtered all but a thousand of these revolutionaries, the survivors taking refuge in a tower, and when Abimelak found them, he had his men set fire to it. But as a final act of defiance, a woman at the top of the tower dropped a stone that fell on Abimelak, mortally wounding him. Realizing he was dying, he ordered a soldier nearby to kill him, as he refused to let the records show that he had been killed by a woman. Of course, if we take the Book of Judges to be face value, this attempt to preserve his legacy failed.
