* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14199641/1/Spider-Ninja Spider-Ninja]]'': [[GenderFlip Petra Parker]], after losing her aunt and uncle when she was four, was taken in by Master Splinter and raised alongside his four sons. She didn't have a female role model until she met April O'Neil when she was ten. Considering her unusual upbringing, she's a ''mostly'' mature young woman with a strong moral compass and sense of responsibility.

* Alexis in ''Series/{{Castle}}'' was raised primarily by her single father who has sole custody. She is emotionally stable and intelligent. Though this is partially averted by the fact that her grandmother was also around for the majority of her life.

* Most ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' fanworks revolving around Guts and Casca raising their son involve Guts being rather uncouth when dealing with babies and small children due to his rough, militaristic upbringing ([[StayInTheKitchen and sometimes traditional gender roles]]). However, Guts is often shown to be genuinely committed to raising his child with affection because [[GenerationXerox he does not want to become]] [[AbusiveParents the sort of father that Gambino was to him.]]
* ''Homestuck'' fanworks frequently have Karkat Vantas be raised by the Midnight Crew, a group of gangsters albeit [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain fairly incompetent gangsters]]. ''Cities In Dust'' and ''Troll Cops'' are notable examples. This is less of a problem than many examples; while [[{{Jerkass}} Spades Slick]] and [[DiagnosedByTheAudience Clubs Deuce]] aren't fit to raise children, the more level-headed [[OnlySaneMan Diamonds Droog]] and Hearts Boxcars are able to serve as decent parental figures.

* ''Film/LaCageAuxFolles'' and its American remake ''Film/TheBirdcage'' star a man who was raised by [[HasTwoMommies a gay couple]] an is a perfectly normal adult.

* In ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' Keel is introduced as a young boy but eventually revealed to be a girl. She was completely unaware of this as her father, having no idea how to raise a daughter, had simply raised her as a boy and said that gender was a "state of mind".

* ''ComicBook/Batgirl2000'': Cassandra Cain was raised by only her biological dad and is the only girl in the immediate ComicBook/{{Batman}} family and is portrayed as being an absolute slob. Though given who [[ProfessionalKiller her dad was]], as well as [[Characters/BatmanLadyShiva her absent mother]], Cass was never going to have a normal childhood; presumably household cleanliness isn't a priority for someone raised to be a LivingWeapon.

* ''ComicBook/Batgirl2000'': Cassandra Cain was raised by only her biological dad and is the only girl in the immediate ComicBook/{{Batman}} family and is portrayed as being an absolute slob.

* ''Film/{{Armageddon}}'', has Grace raised around roughnecks her whole life, a point of contention as her father doesn't want her to marry one. She's a perfectly well-rounded and psychologically sound woman.

* ''Franchise/DocSavage'' was raised by his father and a handpicked team of male tutors. It is mentioned in the novels as being why he has a poor understanding of the psychology of the female mind; one of his few weak spots.
