* EdgarAllanPoe's story ''Doctor Tarr and Professor Feather''. It involves inmates taking over an aslyum which "coddled" them and treating their former doctors, now the inmates, in a BedlamHouse way. It has a kind of FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: If you treat those weaker than you with kindness, they'll just take advantage of you and then do worse. One interpretation of the story is that it's a metaphor for Poe's views of American blacks (which, considering that he was a proponent of slavery, isn't terribly implausible).

* Sexism and Gender Stereotypes are played with in the weird little German-UK SF series from the 1970's - Star Maidens. In which, two men escape from the planet Medusa which is ruled by women and where men are badly mistreated and head for Earth because one of the men has heard it's ruled by men. They are pursued by a couple of their female mistresses. Let's just say it wasn't subtle and leave it at that.

* In the manga ''{{Ooku}}'', after [[{{Gendercide}} a disease kills off a large percentage of the male population]], feudal Japan becomes a female-dominated society, with women as leaders and warriors and men viewed as sex objects too delicate to fight (or farm, or fish, or...).
* In ''[[JyuOhSei Jyu-Oh-Sei]]'', the PenalColony planet of Chimera is controlled by four "Rings" (Night, Ochre, Sun, and Blanc) which are primarily divided by skin color. When Thor and Rai are sent there, the Blanc Ring is least powerful of the four, and thus the formerly pampered twins (who are about as white as one can possibly be without having Albinism) find themselves at the bottom of the social ladder.
