History Main / DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale

* ''Literature/Idol2022'': Discussed and deconstructed every which way. Lisa is revealed to struggle ''hard'' with what happened between her and Sam, while Sam regards it as one of the most romantic experiences of her life. When Lisa's accusation about Sam comes out, this trope is discussed in-universe, with several otherwise "social justice" minded influencers defending Sam on the grounds that it's "different for women" and/or LGBT people. [[spoiler:Finally, Sam's justifications are revealed to be a combination of SelfServingMemory and perhaps literal amnesia from Sam's years of drug abuse. She really ''did'' rape Lisa, and she gradually reveals herself to be a bullying {{Narcissist}} with a perpetual victim complex.]]

** This is a complicated case. Like, really complicated. It's not a double standard, because what the boys at the academy are doing and what Sora's doing are motivated by different things. Sora's assault is done specifically so she can save a battered, abused girl because there is no other way out for that girl. It's very different than one of the boys molesting their possessions. Molestation itself is portrayed distinctly as a bad thing and acknowledged as assault by Sora and the girl while discussing it, which is why Sora is able to use it in her attempt to save this girl. She flat-out explains what she's doing to the girl beforehand, so the girl she's molesting knows why this is happening and that Sora wants to save instead of hurt her. The girl is scared when it starts, having not been expecting it, but Sora even says "This is the least painful way of assaulting," meaning she's doing it specifically to try not to hurt her.
** At this point in the story, [[spoiler:Reiko was trapped in a contract with the most insane, violent boy in the school. That boy was under orders never to fight with or release her. She was badly beaten and in the infirmary when Sora found her and basically begging/challenging Sora to find some way to save her from this boy. Sora took advantage of the rule that if someone's owned girl is being beaten or molested-- aka /hurt or assaulted in any way/-- by someone who isn't their owner and it continues for too long without the owner saving their girl, there will be a severe penalty. She had to hurt Reiko somehow to save her, and Reiko was already badly injured. It's clear that molestation here is bad even though it's a girl doing it to another girl, but Reiko is intelligent and likely knows that Sora has to do this to her to save her,]] and Sora's using it as a more compassionate form of assault than beating an already badly injured girl. At WORST, it's portrayed as better to do than to continue beating the girl and risk possibly permanently breaking her or forcing much more time to recover. It's not a good thing or acceptable because it's a girl doing it, but because there isn't anything else save beating her Sora can do to rescue her from someone much worse. That's why there's no real repercussions for Sora: [[spoiler: Reiko]] knows this happened only as a method of rescuing her and is intelligent enough to know it's for the best.

RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil--but not if only women are involved.

# Lesbian sex is [[GirlOnGirlIsHot hot]] and/or [[BlackComedyRape hilarious]], but doesn't count as "real" sex, especially if it's non-penetrative.

* In ''Manga/LoveHina'', male characters generally get pummeled for just touching female characters [[AccidentalPervert whether they mean to or not]], yet intentional female on female assault gets brushed aside or completely overlooked (like what Kanako does to Motoko).

* Zigzagged in ''Anime/Macross7''. Mylene Jenius in the second ''Dynamite'' OVA gets drugged by her producer, with the episode cutting away from it and making in ambiguous exactly what occurred, though it's clear Mylene is terrified. The companion manga ''Mylene Beat'' expands on this by showing that she was indeed sexually assaulted, but Mylene's Zentradi instincts kick in halfway through thanks to a nearby dragon-like creature attacking the colony, sending her into a blind, feral rage and giving her the strength to fight her attacker until the others are able to break in to help her. Ultimately played straight however, as while her friends are rightfully incensed at the attempted rape, once Mylene comes back to her senses and the dragon is taken care of via ThePowerOfMusic, she treats the woman as someone who just came on a smidgen too strong with a LoveConfession instead of an attempted rapist.
* In ''Anime/CosplayComplex'', lesbian pedophile Jenny tries to sneak into the bed of the TokenMiniMoe Athena to sleep with her. However, she ended up in the bed of Chako's mom, Sachiko who says that she is a lonely widow that is glad to have some company in bed. She then rapes the now reluctant teenager.

** At this point in the story, [[spoiler: Reiko was trapped in a contract with the most insane, violent boy in the school. That boy was under orders never to fight with or release her. She was badly beaten and in the infirmary when Sora found her and basically begging/challenging Sora to find some way to save her from this boy. Sora took advantage of the rule that if someone's owned girl is being beaten or molested-- aka /hurt or assaulted in any way/-- by someone who isn't their owner and it continues for too long without the owner saving their girl, there will be a severe penalty. She had to hurt Reiko somehow to save her, and Reiko was already badly injured.

That's why there's no real repercussions for Sora: [[spoiler: Reiko]] knows this happened only as a method of rescuing her and is intelligent enough to know it's for the best.

** The series illustrates the double standard extremely well one with one character--Paio Zi, the breast-obsessed bounty hunter. When first encountered, Paio makes no attempt to hide what will follow if Nodoka is captured, and the scene is played out every bit as seriously as you would expect AttemptedRape to be played out. Then in a later chapter Paio makes a return, except in this case [[TheReveal it is revealed]] that ''she'' is a girl as well, and her subsequent groping of all the girls in the bathhouse is played up for pure comedy value.

* Zig-zagged in ''Anime/{{Penguindrum}}'' with the adult [[spoiler:Yuri]]'s attempted rape of [[spoiler:Ringo]], an underage sixteen-year-old girl. The rapist's actions are not framed in a positive light, but she is given a sympathetic backstory and significantly more focus than her victim. The details of the rape are inconsistent between episodes, being portrayed as rape one episode and as a titillating seduction in another, and whether or not the rapist actually went through with it or not is ambiguous. The attempt to rescue the victim is played for laughs, and neither the victim nor rapist are seriously affected by the events, save for being the subject of a brief joke about it a couple of episodes later.

* ''Manga/MakenKi'' has two separate incidents of {{attempted rape}}, that're both treated as heinous since it was guys doing it. Yet, the incident where [[TheVamp Love Espada]] forcibly stripped Takaki, Haruko, Minori, and Aki, then raped them, is treated [[GirlOnGirlIsHot as fanservice.]] Not only was Takeru A-OK with it, he and Usui lamented not being there to see it.

* Nyu in ''Manga/ElfenLied'' will go after pretty much anything that moves, so long as it has breasts. In the anime, it's mostly restricted to [[SkinshipGrope groping Yuka]], much to the latter's annoyance. The manga takes it ''much'' farther, particularly with poor Nozomi. Despite this, Nyu never receives anything more than a mild scolding from the other characters for her actions (partially justified, or as much as it can be at any rate, by Nyu having the intellectual capacity of a two-year-old).

** Ginko's sexual assault on Kureha in episode 2, which involves Ginko pinning Kureha down onto a couch, choking her with her tie, and giving a confused Kureha no leverage or way out whatsoever, and would've continued if it hadn't been for Mitsuko interrupting them; all while a seductive voice and music plays in the background. Ginko doesn't get called out at all for this, either by the narrative or the characters, and the incident is quickly dropped upon the arrival of the next plot development and forgotten -- except for the one time the scene is brought up again, where it's used as part of a montage of Kureha remembering all the things Ginko did for her out of her love for Kureha. Essentially, the show sees Ginko's attempted rape on Kureha as a ''good thing''.
** The adult [[spoiler:Yurika]]'s attempted rape of the underage [[spoiler:Kureha]], which includes explicit focus on the victim getting sensually stripped of her clothing. While the rapist does get mortally wounded during the attempt, it's not part of a narrative/character-related call-out, merely a way to remove her from the story. The rapist's dying moments are portrayed in a sympathetic light, yet she never shows remorse for her attempted rape and said dying moments involve her being held by the victim, who never holds any ill will towards her, as well as being spiritually forgiven by the woman she previously murdered. Like the Ginko example before, this incident is quickly forgotten by the story and never brought up again. Furthermore, the sex scene is in fact completely unnecessary, as the scene in question is a symbolic framing of the rapist, as a bear, attempting to eat her victim — which could've been portrayed as simply that, a bear attempting to eating her prey, rendering the sexuality pointless and a waste of time.

* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': Yayo, Reo, and Matoi have all groped other female characters with little consequence. Overlapping with DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale, the usual victim is Matsuri, [[GenderBender who is female but was originally male]]--something his mother confirmed by [[CrotchGrabSexCheck sticking her hand down his underwear]]. Despite responding with little more than passive-aggressive discomfort (and not even noticing the sexual nature of Reo's advances), Matsuri gets absolutely livid at any ''boy'' hitting on or starring at him or other girls.

** Shiori spends one chapter [[CassandraTruth unable to convince]] the school's reporter Tokuda she was originally male. When Tokuda is confused and thinks Shiori is a crossdressing boy, he confirms Shiori's breasts are real by grabbing another girls' arm to put her hands on them. [[DiscussedTrope Shoiri is shocked, but Tokuda's claims his method put him in the clear]].

* In ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'', when the girl who will later take up the identity of Ocelotina and her brother kidnap Emp, she gets into the boot of the car with a near-naked Emp and proceeds to grope her, with the dialogue suggesting full-blown forcible digital penetration. This is played totally for laughs at the time and retrospectively in later stories. Similarly the backstory references to Ninjette [[BedTrick successfully impersonating]] the husband of a rival ninja on their wedding night.

* This trope was invoked by the audience in the ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' fanfic ''Fanfic/CheerUpEmoGirl.'' Bridgette is raped by a female OC named Brittney, and it was intended to be taken as seriously as male-on-female rape. However, every single review that referenced to that scene called it [[GirlOnGirlIsHot hot,]] and suggested a [[AThreesomeIsHot threesome]] take place between Bridgette, Brittney, and Bridgette's then-boyfriend. This resulted in a rather scathing author's note at the beginning of the next chapter, [[DearNegativeReader lashing out at the people who wrote this.]]

* Averted in the ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' fic, ''Fanfic/StressRelief''. Agent South Dakota regularly and violently molested Agent Connecticut and it is played for all the horror and drama it should. The effects of South’s abuse of C.T. is explored in full and never downplayed or treated as okay and sexy. The scene of South molesting C.T. is played for FanDisservice and makes it clear that C.T. is not into it. [[spoiler: When the other Freelancers and the Director find out, they all react appropriately. Carolina doesn’t even think to make gender a factor in how she feels about the abuse (and she is ''livid'' when she finds out).]]

* Averted in ''Fanfic/SunLight''. Sunset becomes a vampire, which lowers her [[TheUnfettered moral inhibitions]], [[VampiresAreSexGods heightens her sex drive]], and amplifying her romantic feelings for Human Twilight. After catching Twilight alone, Vampire Sunset feels Twilight up a bit. Twilight, despite knowing Sunset wasn't in control of herself, still feels angry and traumatized at Sunset for violating her.

--> '''Natsuki''': Is it even sensible to begin with, thinking of dating someone who pretty much raped you? If Shizuru was a man, wouldn't that be beyond messed up? So isn't it just the same anyway? The fact that my fear and resentment isn't overwhelming is certain, and I can find a lot of comfort in her warmth and hesitant affection. But does that make me the wrong one? Am I weird for forgiving her like this?

* In ''Film/BloodNightTheLegendOfMaryHatchet'', [[CuteAndPsycho Alyssa]] cracks a long joke about being beaten, gang-raped and branded in the girl's shower room in high school.

* In ''Literature/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool'''s flashback arc, when Maya was raped by her male kidnappers, it was a traumatic event which her family to seek vengeance for and sent her to a hospital to heal from. When the woman Honami sexually assaults Miyuki, it's PlayedForLaughs, and- despite her ongoing and vocal fear of the act- Miyuki never even thinks of telling her family about it. The implication is that they wouldn't do anything about the assault even if they knew it occurred.

* Largely [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in George RR. Martin's ''Literature/AFeastForCrows''. Cersei finally has sex with a female friend that's been fawning over her the entire book (as an act of intrigue). Although consensual at first, Cersei soon starts causing pain to the woman and being from her point of view the readers can tell she's reenacting the MaritalRapeLicense that Robert had with her. None of this is portrayed as comical or sexy and is meant to depict Cersei's cruel tendencies as an AssholeVictim. Conversely, a lesbian relationship between Daenerys and one of her handmaidens is cut short because Daenerys realizes that the handmaiden is only participating out of servitude and is not deriving pleasure from the intimacy.

* In ''Series/{{Hex}}'', the lesbian ghost Thelma is seen on-screen to impose a dream of making out with her on her best friend Cassie, and implied to have gone much further with the AlphaBitch Roxanne. This is played entirely for laughs. (Although it's left vague how much the living girls could have resisted [[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalisation if they'd wanted to]]).

* Averted in ''Series/{{CSINY}}'', where a woman forces her female employee to have sex with her. When she quits and joins another company, the rapist woman threatens the victim that she would make use of her influence to make the victim lose her job and make sure she stays unemployed until she continues to give into her. Eventually, the victim makes use of the rapist's foot fetish to kill her by mixing poison in her nail polish.

* In one episode of ''Series/TheNanny'' Fran ends up in prison after accidentally kidnapping a child (she just wanted to hold the baby for the busy mother, but then a lot of people moved out the subway and pushed the mother away). She heard that she was going to be stripped search, but sees a handsome policeman, and becomes much less upset about it, and goes to the room where it happens (offscreen). Then we see a big, burly looking woman putting on gloves, and then goes to where Fran went. Fran is later seen looking upset.

* A '''very''' downplayed and ultimately subverted example happens in an early episode of ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend'', Rebecca is convinced she has some sort of crush on Josh's new girlfriend Valencia but is really just insanely jealous of her. Near the end the two of them dance and Rebecca abruptly gives Valencia a ForcefulKiss. Valencia immediately takes offense at this and storms off complaining about how [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer everyone is always throwing themselves at her.]]
* In Russian sitcome "Univer" Lilya the {{Cloudcuckoolander}} and Alla are roommates. In one episode Lilya starts questioning her sexual orientation and becomes obsessed with the idea of having sex with Alla(literally the closest female to her and so[[DropDeadGorgeous beautiful]], only straight woman wouldn't desire her) in order to test it. She started stalking her. Alla got so scared she asked her boyfriend to share the bed with her at nights. Lilya tricked said boyfriend into leaving room and locked the door. Next we switch to Alla's boyfriend and we don't see what happened in the room but we hear Alla crying for help. Considering Lilya's previous actions such as grabbing Alla's covered butt, lying down on the bed Alla was sleeping on, hugging her without content, what was happening off-screen was something even less family-friendly (something like talking Alla's clothing by force and uncovering or even touching her genitals). After this all three remained friends, Alla's boyfriend merely yelled at Lilya angrily (but not hatefully) and throughout Lilya is treated as cute and quirky character. Just switch Lilya with a gay male that tests his bisexuality the same way...

* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'', Strangelove performs unwanted, dubiously sexual acts on both Paz (a young teenager) and Cécile (her captive) - she forced Paz to let her give her a massage, and gave Cécile daily sponge baths. Both seem to enjoy it, Cécile even teasing Big Boss for getting aroused by the mental image, and the event with Paz being played for pure fanservice.

* ''VideoGame/RabiRibi'' takes place on an island populated entirely by women, so the various times characters try to molest, rape, or sexually harass Erina and Ribbon (both of whom are underage) are treated as eccentricies at best or annoying at worst by everyone in the game. By contrast, the constant harassment from the male otaku Erina and Ribbon encounter in the Warp Dimension deeply disturbs and upsets them during their stay, and the otaku are definitively identified by the narrative as stalkers and creeps.

* One ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' episode has Francine recall a horrific bullying incident she was involved in as a teenager when a group of girls held her down in the locker room shower and vigorously lathered every inch of her body with soap. Francine recalls how they didn't miss a single spot on her, making it clear they sexually molested her by groping at her breasts and lower region and asks Stan in a pained voice if he can imagine something so awful. Stan's showing sitting down, sweating, [[SomethingElseAlsoRises his jacket covering his lap]], and asking Francine for more details. Stan later pulls out a yearbook asking Francine to point out the girls who attacked her, hopefully pointing to some prettier ones.

* A '''very''' downplayed and ultimately subverted example happens in an early episode of ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend'', Rebecca is convinced she has some sort of crush on Josh's new girlfriend Valencia but is really just insanely jealous of her. Near the end the two of them dance and Rebecca abruptly gives Valencia a ForcefulKiss. Valencia [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome immediately takes offense at this and storms off]] complaining about how [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer everyone is always throwing themselves at her.]]

In one episode Lilya starts questioning her sexual orientation and becomes obsessed with the idea of having sex with Alla(literally the closest female to her and so[[DropDeadGorgeous beautiful]], only straight woman wouldn't desire her) in order to test it.

Just switch Lilya with a gay male that tests his bisexuality the same way...

* ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'': Haruhi habitually sexually harasses Mikuru, grabbing her breasts and [[ShamefulStrip stripping her]] to put her in sexual outfits, but since they're both girls it's usually PlayedForLaughs and/or {{Fanservice}}. The one time it's portrayed seriously is when things reach its breaking point when Haruhi outright ''drugs'' Mikuru for her movie, causing the normally laid-back Kyon to [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness erupt into rage]] and [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu have to be restrained from slapping her]].
* ''Literature/StrawberryPanic'' pulls this off with Kaname (and to a lesser extent Momomi) on Hikari. The solution to many troubles Kaname had throughout the series was, "Rape Hikari!" [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin She never succeeds]], and while it's clear other people disapprove, she faces no consequences for her obviously creepy intentions.

* Violent, PsychoLesbian [[MsFanservice Ume]] from ''Literature/BenTo'' seems to be present to cater to a number of fetishes, including [[AttemptedRape forced yuri]] and [[AbductionIsLove kidnapping]].

* In ''Literature/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool'''s flashback arc, when Maya was raped by her male kidnappers, it was a traumatic event which her family to seek vengeance for and sent her to a hospital to heal from. When the woman Honami sexually assaults Miyuki, it's PlayedForLaughs, and- despite her ongoing and vocal fear of the act- Miyuki never even thinks of telling her family about it. The implication is that they wouldn't do anything about the assault even if they knew it occurred.

* Ambiguously played in another ''Series/{{Degrassi}}'' fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1780356/1/Bias Bias]]'' seems headed toward Manny/Ellie femslash. The chapter started off with some boys coercing Manny into raping Ellie (it was either rape Ellie herself or they rape Ellie). What happened to Ellie is treated like a random drunken encounter and not much else. Neither the male nor female characters involved are given much blame (so far).

* Invoked in ''Literature/{{Aimee}}''.

* Violent, PsychoLesbian [[MsFanservice Ume]] from ''LightNovel/BenTo'' seems to be present to cater to an number of feitishes, including [[AttemptedRape forced yuri]] and [[AbductionIsLove kidnapping]].

* In ''LightNovel/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool'''s flashback arc, when Maya was raped by her male kidnappers, it was a traumatic event which her family to seek vengeance for and sent her to a hospital to heal from.

* ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'': The bath scene in episode 6 combines NotWhatItLooksLike with NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization. Rei [[SkinshipGrope decides to see]] if Shizuka's GagBoobs are real, prompting Shizuka to try to escape by getting out of the tub. When Rei pounces her, Shizuka braces herself against the side of the tub. Except it's animated to make it seem as if Rei's screwing her doggy-style, while her breasts appear to be bouncing from Rei's 'pelvic thrusting'. When Saya looks over her shoulder and sees what's going on, she blushes and quickly turns back around. Two scenes later, Shizuka is shown slumped back in the tub, as if she'd been worn out...

* Averted in ''[[https://a-student-out-of-time.tumblr.com/ A Student Out of Time]]'': [[VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpaAnother2 Hibiki's]] fears that she had been sexually abused by [[VillainousIncest her own twin sister]] while she was in her [[TraumaInducedAmnesia puppet state]] are treated with complete seriousness and they leave her with deep emotional scars.

** The adult [[spoiler:Yurika]]'s attempted rape of the underage [[spoiler:Kureha]], which includes explicit focus on the victim getting sensually stripped of her clothing. While the rapist does get mortally wounded during the attempt, it's not part of a narrative/character-related call-out, merely a way to remove her from the story.

The fact that this was intended to be a symbolic rendition of attempted murder (namely, a bear eating her prey) is also largely ignored.

By contrast, the constant harassment from the male otaku Erina and Ribbon encounter in the Warp Dimension deeply disturbs and upsets them during their stay, and the otaku are definitively identified by the narrative as stalkers and creeps.

* A bit of a ZigZaggingTrope in ''Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden''. [[spoiler: Chikane does rape Himeko, yes, and makes a rather dramatic FaceHeelTurn in the process]], but [[SadisticChoice the circumstances]] were [[BecauseDestinySaysSo more than a little contrived]], making for [[BrokenBase ample debate]] on whether or not she should still be held accountable. However, there is a notable lack of repercussions or even disapproval of her acts in-universe. Less of a DoubleStandard than most examples since a male villain (Miyako's brother Girochi) tries to rape Himeko at one point but is treated no less sympathetically in the end when everything gets set straight again and everyone is given their happy ending. [[GratuitousRape For whatever that's worth]]... and yet it's zigzagged ''again'' when [[spoiler:''Chikane herself'']] is molested and almost raped by [[spoiler:Miyako]], but the viewer is NOT supposed to be on her side, contrasting by how the audience's supposed to root for [[spoiler:Chikane]] despite being a rapist]]- and ''even then'', [[spoiler:Miyako]] is treated somewhat sympathetically due to her tragic past and unrequited love for Tsubasa, and [[spoiler:she also gets her happy end alongside Girochi]].
