History Main / FemaleMisogynist

* The Panther Girls in the ''Literature/{{Gor}}'' series. They despise the female slaves, seeing them as weak and inferior.

Subtrope of BoomerangBigot. In the rare case that she also applies the misogyny to herself as well (through self-hatred and/or needless self-imposed limitations) it also becomes InternalizedCategorism. Can overlap with DoesNotLikeMen, despite the two tropes often considered polar opposites. Compare and contrast with EffeminateMisogynisticGuy, except that the contradiction is much more direct. See also TerritorialSmurfette, where the female lead will act antagonistic towards a new woman in the group.

* '''[[SourPrudes The Sex-Negative Nelly]]''' -- A StrawFeminist who believes AllMenArePerverts and that male sexuality is inherently degrading to women, so she sees femininity and female sexual freedom itself as nothing but a detriment to women. Her views of [[NoTrueScotsman what a "true" independent woman should be]] revolve around this mindset, and any woman who doesn't fit her narrow standards is, in her eyes, a deluded victim of the Patriarchy at best, or a pandering sellout who is only interested in male validation at worst. Expect SlutShaming and [[StopBeingStereotypical distaste for more]] [[RealWomenDontWearDresses traditionally feminine women]].

* Bella of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' fame is very much this - she loathes any women who ever acts on her emotions ([[{{Hypocrite}} despite acting almost exclusively on her own emotions]]) but excuses any inappropriate male behavior with the "he was angry/upset/overwhelmed" excuse. Women are expected to act rationally every single time, but men are allowed to indulge in their emotions. The only female characters who escape this are ones who worship her (and even then, only female vampires).

* In ''Manhwa/TheRemarriedEmpress", Rashta has shown shades of this, despite genuinely [[IJustWantToBeYou admiring]] and [[IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery copying everything Navier does.]] She definitely prefers male company due to the fact that she is used to manipulating them with her looks and fake attitude, to the point of excluding noblewomen from her parties as an empress. In the game, she thinks to herself that she likes spending time with men more, since women are jealous of her beauty. When her second child turns out to be a girl, she initially wishes it was a boy, though this has more to do with HeirClubForMen issues than her own views, and she is very happy when Glorym is declared the crown princess. [[spoiler:Ironically, every person responsible for her final fate is a man.]]

* Some critics believe Music/TaylorSwift is an example due to her bashing a romantic rival for [[RealWomenDontWearDresses wearing high heels and skirts]] in "You Belong With Me" and SlutShaming another in "Better Than Revenge".

* '''[[YouAreACreditToYourRace The "Honorary" Dude]]''' -- A [[TheLadette Ladette]] who is [[OneOfTheBoys One Of The Guys]] and a firm believer of RealWomenDontWearDresses. When she wants to insult a man she'll call him a "girl," "sissy," "bitch," "pussy," and so on. She also will make and laugh at overtly misogynistic jokes (possibly in a misguided bid for male approval, possibly because she actually feels that way). She likely also prefers traditionally masculine pursuits, and will denigrate women (and men) who don't enjoy the same. People will remind her that she's a girl herself, but she will deny it -- or consider herself an "honorary dude" because she's NotLikeOtherGirls (i.e. she's [[MoralMyopia "better" than the other girls]], in her mind). She's also known as a "pick-me girl" if she's acting this way in a misguided attempt at seeking male approval.

->''"I am most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights,' with all its attendant horrors...Were women to 'unsex' themselves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen, and disgusting of beings and would surely perish without male protection ."''

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Toph has shades of The Honorary Dude variation, particularly in her "Blind Bandit" wrestling persona (which is barely an act), but also in general. Though, instead of targeting other females directly, she displays it mainly via her interactions with male characters. She's quick to toss out "girly" as an insult, putting them in place by demonstrating that she's more traditionally manly.
* Louise Belcher on ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' doesn't get on with most of the girls her age, and finds her mother and older sister boring and annoying. Oddly enough, this seems to be more out of immaturity than her usual malice and notably in later seasons, she does start spending more time with Tina and Linda and even has moments where she isn't so different from them. Her brother Gene is a milder gender-flipped example. He gets along with the guys in their group and admires his dad, but has stated he prefers being friends with women and likes to see himself as [[OneOfTheBoys one of the girls]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'' episode "The Old Sugarman Place," we are introduced to Joseph and Honey Sugarman, the parents of [=BoJack=]'s mother, Beatrice, who grew up in the 1940s. In Honey's case, InternalizedCategorism is in full effect, as she shares her husband's beliefs that women are only good for being [[StayInTheKitchen good little housewives who have children]]. As a result, she forbids Beatrice from eating foods like pancakes and ice cream, and even tells her daughter she'll "rupture her uterus" when she tries to lift a heavy suitcase. [[spoiler:And this is all before her older child [=CrackerJack=] [[OutlivingOnesOffspring died in WWII]], and then everything ''really'' [[DespairEventHorizon went]] [[EmptyShell to]] [[DeathOfPersonality hell...]]]]

* Chloe Bourgeois of ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' has shades of this - she was responsible for all the akumatizations of Marinette's female classmates.

* '''[[NerdyBully The Nerdy Bully]]''' -- A woman who leans towards more intellectual interests and hobbies (often in male-dominated fields), viewing herself as superior to other women for embracing intellectualism. Particularly prone to blanket black-and-white categorism -- women who prefer more traditionally feminine pursuits are dumb Stepford robots; women who prefer the same kind of things that they do but also embrace feminine pursuits [[NoTrueScotsman are fake and only superficially interested in what they like for the purposes of receiving male attention and validation]]; women who like more traditionally masculine pursuits (particularly athletic ones) are {{Dumb Jock}}s, and so on and so forth. May exhibit some StrawFeminist tendencies, but in a very immature and self-centered way -- they claim to back female empowerment and breaking down gender-based barriers, [[OriginalPositionFallacy but only in a way that does not make them feel threatened and allows them to continue to maintain their adolescent sense of superiority]].

* '''The YaoiFangirl''' -- They think GuyOnGuyIsHot and far more idealized than heterosexual relationships. May overlap with NerdyBully but the major differences between the two are their interests and their friends circle: the female nerd bullies are {{Insufferable Genius}}es who only hang out with TheSmartGuy and fandom culture isn't a major requirement, meanwhile the fangirls choose to [[FagHag hang out with gay guys]] (which may overlap with EffeminateMisogynisticGuy) or fellow fangirls with [[DieForOurShip similar ships.]] Their view on femininity is varied from neutral to positive depending on their favorite ships, even glorify if it's done for TheWoobie {{Uke}} SensitiveGuy, but on the other hand, [[DoubleStandard women with stereotypically uke traits]] [[HetIsEw are portrayed negatively]] for ruining their {{Wish Fulfillment}} of their perpetually single status.

* YouTube channel Just Pearly Things is open about her dislike and disdain for women, blending standard opposition to feminism with more extreme MGTOW-adjacent positions. Her focus on Creator/JerrySpringer style content has led to her being controversial within even her own community. She's enough of a BoomerangBigot that she considers herself a low value woman.

* In Creator/WilliamShakespeare's ''Theatre/TheComedyOfErrors,'' Luciana tells her sister that wives should be obedient to and not complain about their husbands. The sister has none of it, calling her a hypocrite for being unmarried, a cuckold for advocating obeying unfaithful husband, and so servile that no man would marry her anyway.

* Daniella from ''VideoGame/HauntingGround'' has shades of this, she’s literally the only other woman in the castle besides Fiona but instead of being a source of comfort she spites and mocks Fiona calling her a “precious little princess” who apparently [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming lures]] men into her “filthy body”. The reason for her cruelty is actually jealousy as Daniella was created to be the perfect woman, yet is unable to give birth like Fiona thus hates her for being a “real woman” and covets Fiona’s womb ''which she tries to take by force''.
* Alice from ''VideoGame/Persona5Strikers'' was [[spoiler: bullied by other girls in high school for supposedly seducing a man she was in love with.]] Since then, she considers every girl in Shibuya to be just like them and just one of them being happy is enough motivation to steal the guy they love. She's especially hostile toward Ann, one of the more attractive female members of the party, and specifically taunts Ann when the Phantom Thieves face Alice's Shadow as a boss.

* Yoruka in ''LightNovel/UndefeatedBahamutChronicle'' starts out as this, due to serving the will of the Old Arcadia Empire (in which women were treated as second-class citizens). She prioritises Lux over Lux's sister Airi, despite both being survivors of the Empire. Ironically, she shows herself to be vastly more competent than her previous masters (the Arcadian emperor and Dobar, both men) and slightly superior to her current master Lux in combat. She grows out of this with time.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' has Aunt Miriam. She's already [[{{Jerkass}} unpleasant to begin with]], but when talking to Didi, she asks the latter when she is going to quit her job and [[StayInTheKitchen become a full-time mom]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'' episode "The Old Sugarman Place," we are introduced to Joseph and Honey Sugarman, the parents of [=BoJack=]'s mother, Beatrice. Because Beatrice grew up in the '40s, {{Deliberate Values Dissonance}} is in full effect. Honey shares her husband's beliefs that women are only good for being [[StayInTheKitchen good little housewives who have children]]; as a result, she forbids Beatrice from eating foods like pancakes and ice cream, and even tells her daughter she'll "rupture her uterus" when she tries to lift a heavy suitcase. [[spoiler:And this is all before her older child [=CrackerJack=] [[OutlivingOnesOffspring died in WWII]], and then everything ''really'' [[LoveMakesYouCrazy went]] [[EmptyShell to]] [[DeathOfPersonality hell...]]]]

* In ''Literature/{{Carrie}}'', the title character's mother, Margaret, is a loony religious fanatic who believes that all women are sinful and processes such as puberty, physical maturation, and menstruation are all signs that a woman has sinned and needs to repent. She abuses Carrie and locks her in a prayer closet frequently to pray for forgiveness, citing delusional interpretations of the Bible to justify her belief that Carrie is evil.

* '''[[YouAreACreditToYourRace The "Honorary" Dude]]''' -- A [[TheLadette Ladette]] who is [[OneOfTheBoys One Of The Guys]] and a firm believer of RealWomenDontWearDresses. When she wants to insult a man she'll call him a "girl," "sissy," "bitch," "pussy," and so on. She also will make and laugh at overtly misogynistic jokes (possibly in a misguided bid for male approval, possibly because she actually feels that way). She likely also prefers traditionally masculine pursuits, and will denigrate women (and men) who don't enjoy the same. People will remind her that she's a girl herself, but she will deny it -- or consider herself an "honorary dude" because she's NotLikeOtherGirls (i.e. she's [[MoralMyopia "better" than the other girls]], in her mind).

** ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': Alicent Hightower is an interesting internalized version of "The Reactionary". Although she and Rhaenyra Targaryen - her childhood friend and later stepdaughter - both must navigate their positions in a male-dominated political structure, over time she resents the fact that Rhaenyra constantly flouts their society's expectations of female behavior and is seemingly rewarded for it. Meanwhile, everything Alicent does from being married to King Viserys (Rhaenyra's father) onward is in service to the men around her, be it her husband, her father Otto, or her son Aegon, who is Rhaenyra's rival for the throne. Acting the ProperLady, she constantly debases herself and puts herself in deliberately vulnerable positions, allowing her male cohorts to take advantage. An example; she choses to exchange sexual favors with Larys Strong when she could easily overpower him with her position in the monarchy.
