The DistaffCounterpart to a Cuckold is called a "Cuckquean". However, due to [[DoubleStandard gender stereotypes]], cuckqueaning is not nearly as invested a trope as cuckolding. For one thing, there's the male > female [[EntitledToHaveYou sense of "ownership"]] that fuels the trope. Further, in many circles, men were almost ''expected'' to have mistresses, but women were punished harshly for straying. MamasBabyPapasMaybe is yet another factor -- many cuckold stories involve a man raising a child that isn't his without ever knowing his wife had an affair. That's not possible with a cuckquean without either some real clever plotting, or delving into SpeculativeFiction. In UsefulNotes/{{Pornography}}, women being forced to watch their husband cheating with another woman scenarios do exist, but tend to just parlay into ThreeWaySex anyway.
