It's not easy being [[The Chick]] and [[Action Girl]] at the same time, you are often the target of being attacked by the bad guys and having next to no self-defense ability. And then there are the times where the only thing between [[The End of the World
Who knows why the device won't work for guys, a slight technical oversight perhaps, maybe because it runs on certain sources of energy? But who knows. The Girl Powered Device ain't going to work on men at all, for some reason, and no attempt is made to get it to do so.
Line 8:
See [[Virgin Power]] when not only is being a girl a requirement to use said powers, but she must also stay relatively chaste.

* The [[Humongous Mecha]] of the [[Alternate Universe]] in ''[[Parallel Trouble Adventure Dual
* Only girls can be [[Sailor Moon|Sailor Senshi]], end of story. Tuxedo Kamen is the closest the series has to a male Sailor and represents Earth in the lineup, but his power comes from the Golden Crystal, the counterpart to the Silver Crystal, not a Sailor Crystal like the rest of the Senshi. This is what justifies the idea of [[Sailor Earth]].
* Only girls can become magical, well, girls, in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]. There's no specific reason why there ''couldn't'' be a magical boy, but {{spoiler|Kyubey and the rest of his alien race specifically target pubescent girls because their emotional output is much higher than any other human demographic; it's just not worth the investment for them to try to harvest anyone else.}}

* The priestesses of the [[Fushigi Yuugi]] stories are, as the name implies, all female, for no other reason than the four gods just aren't into guys. Most of the Seishi are men, however.
* Name a Comic Valkyrie Manga such as ''[[Freezing]]'' for example, the Pandoras (aka girls) are the actual combatants in the [[Battle Couple]], the guys only purpose is to hold the bad guys down to allow the girls to beat them up

* In ''[[VITA Sexualis]]'', Shirou acts a conduit for allowing the already powerful [[Action Girl|female cast]] to transform and fight.
* ''[[Strike Witches]]'' is a subversion as non magic powered weapons can damage the Neuroi, but because it takes longer and more ammo to kill them, Witches are needed to quickly finish them off.
* The titular ''[[Infinite Stratos]]'' combat exoskeletons are only usable by women, with the sole exception of the main male protagonist. Apparently according to the inventor, this wasn't intentional, but she won't care to fix this, nor find out why the main character can use it despite his gender.
* ''[[
* [[Gender Inverted Trope|Gender inverted]] in ''[[D.N.Angel]]'' since only males can bear the "Dark" gene that allows them to take on their magical boy form.

* Questionably present in ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]''. It's explained that only children can be turned into cyborg, and never explicitly stated that they have to be girls, but we never see any sign of a male cyborg.
