Line 2:
In some settings, it is taken as a given not only that [[All Men Are Perverts]] who think about sex constantly, but that the average man will immediately attempt to force himself upon any woman who isn't sufficiently protected. Simply ''not raping'' a woman is therefore in itself a sign that a man is a pure and noble hero.
 
Particularly common in [[Low Fantasy]] settings whose writers are trying too hard to avert [[Politically -Correct History]] or Anvilicious [[Straw Feminist]] works. Also often goes hand-in-hand with a [[Sweet Polly Oliver]] heroine, as this is the only way a woman can leave her home in one of these stories without being set upon. Strangely, ''men'' are rarely seen as targets for this rampaging rape culture, except in [[Prison Rape|prison movies]] where it's likely to be used as [[Double Standard Rape (Male On Male)|comic relief]].
 
Also shows up in old-fashioned [[Romance Novel|romance novels]], perhaps as an attempt to demonstrate the desirability of the heroine. In some of these, the only one who will ''succeed'' in raping the heroine will be [[Victim Falls For Rapist|the hero!]]
 
See also [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It]]. Obviously packed to the gills with [[Unfortunate Implications]], and needless to say ''not'' [[Truth in Television]], '''[[No Real Life Examples, Please]]!'''
