* Kameron Hurley wrote Nyx in ''Literature/BelDameApocrypha'' as a female version of the ActionGenreHeroGuy. She felt that the ActionGirl protagonists of ScienceFiction and UrbanFantasy were too often written in what she felt were sexist ways that fixated on their gender, so she thought it would be a fun experiment to write an action heroine who really was a female version of a typical contemporary male action hero, the only change being the pronouns used to describe her.

* Janie Orlean in ''Film/DontLookUp'' is a female {{Trumplica}}, a [[BrainlessBeauty vapid]], [[AlphaBitch bullying]], {{corrupt|Politician}}, peroxide-blonde United States President who entered politics through the entertainment industry (in her case, it's implied that she was a former model) and whose every action reflects any number of criticisms that UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump's opponents had of him. Given the film's cynical attitude towards the political establishment in general, however, her characterization also includes criticisms of a number of Trump's opponents, most notably UsefulNotes/HillaryRodhamClinton, Trump's rival in the 2016 Presidential election.
