[[Testosterone Poisoning|Misguided masculinity]] says that a man cannot be beaten by a woman. Of course, any such man who is beaten by a woman is pretty unhappy.

** Debatable whether this is an example of this trope. {{spoiler|He seems more upset to have lost to a kid than to a woman.}} Viral doesn't seem to have much of a misogynistic streak if his respect/fear towards Adine is anything to go by.

* Averted in ''A Scandal In Bohemia'', [[Sherlock Holmes]], who [[Does Not Like Women]], finds out that the adversary who managed to tail him home, then escape from him, is a woman named Irene Adler. He is greatly impressed and a little bit smitten.
* In ''[[Edward Eager|Half Magic]]'', Katharine wishes to beat Sir Lancelot in a joust, and then has to unwish it when Lancelot is mocked by the other knights because he was beaten by a girl.

* When Margo and Malcolm spar in ''[[
* The reason why [[Mistborn|Elend]] refuses to spar with [[Action Girl|Vin]]. Though this has less to do with Elend being macho (he's not, particularly) and more to do with the fact that he's king and Vin is ''tiny''. Knowing full well that she'd beat him, he'd rather not get curbstomped in front of his subjects by someone who's barely five feet... ''and'' his girlfriend.
* 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.

* At the end of the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Utopia", the Master utters his anger at having been fatally wounded by {{spoiler|Chantho}}. His [[The Nth Doctor|next self]] is killed in a similar fashion by {{spoiler|Lucy}} in "Last of the Time Lords" and jokes that women often do that.

* Prince Arthur from ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' is not at all happy to find that the masked figure who bested him in battle was actually Morgause in disguise. He instructs Merlin to spread the word that he purposefully threw the fight because he knew she was a woman.

* On ''[[The Amazing Race]]'' 17, men from two different teams made a number of comments about how they felt of the possibility of losing to either of the female teams, Nat & Kat or Brook & Clair. Thomas, who finished third behind the two female teams in the finale, averted this, as he admitted that the female teams were the two best teams.
** Harlem Globetrotters Flight Time & Big Easy begrudgingly acknowledged sisters Kisha & Jen's racing skills in the Season 18 finale, though their hyper-competitiveness meant they probably would have had this reaction to any team beating them.
** Chip (Season 5) had this reaction after getting smoked by the Bowling Moms in what he described as "putting together a car," but was really just decorating it by attaching a bunch of pieces to it.
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' - The Winchesters are hunting a monster who assumes the form of its victim's idol. Its most recent victim was a teenage girl. The fight ends with Sam cutting its head off and a beat-up Dean on the ground.
