History Main / StrawMisogynist

* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' has General Adon, an incompetent Tudor soldier who slings [[StayInTheKitchen whatever sexist slander]] he can think up at [[ActionGirl Casca]] every chance he gets. [[spoiler:[[IWasBeatenByAGirl He ends up getting his head slashed open by Casca during their final confrontation]].]]

** ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer:'' In the episode "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E6Family Family]]" [[spoiler:Tara]]'s father reveals that demon blood runs through it on the female side so all female members of the family must stay home to avoid revealing the curse. Though by the end of the episode, everyone discovers that this is just a lie to make sure the women stay subservient.

** "[[Recap/FuturamaS6E20Neutopia Neutopia]]" turns all of the men on the Planet Express team into Straw Misogynists when Hermes points out a clause in their employment contract which requires all women to pose nude if requested (in this case, to publish a sexy calendar in hopes of saving the company from bankruptcy), and the other male employees support it.

* In ''Anime/{{Shirobako}}'', Hiraoka is one of the biggest jerks in the cast, and has a bit of a sexist streak. In his first conversation with Aoi, he remarks that Segawa, a freelance animator, is nicer to other women than she is to men. After he nearly runs into Aoi's friend and [[SenpaiKohai kohai]] Midori, he complains that women only have to make "googly eyes" for men to forgive them.

* ''Series/TheBoys2019'': Soldier Boy is intended as a deconstruction of RatedMForManly superheroes, and of course has the accompanying chauvinism and misogyny to prove it. In a flashback, he flirts with the only female CIA agent right in front of his girlfriend, telling her she should smile more and be nicer, and assuming she's a lesbian when she shuts him down.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' was flanderized into one. Though it was eventually reversed.

** "[[Recap/FuturamaS2E8RagingBender Raging Bender]]" introduces Fnog, Leela's former martial arts instructor who claims that women lack the "will of a warrior".

** ''Series/{{Angel}}'' had a character that unleashed the latent violent misogyny. Apparently, ''all'' men have one of these inside them, they're just repressed. And that sociopathic vampires are above such petty concerns.

** "[[Recap/FuturamaS3E1AmazonWomenInTheMood Amazon Women in the Mood]]" has Fry, Bender, and Zapp Brannigan brazenly insult the giant women who inhabit the planet Amazonia -- women who could [[IdiotBall crush them like bugs, and who at the time have them in chains]]. Justified for Brannigan (for whom "womanizer" is a major part of his identity) and Bender (for whom {{Jerkass}} is a major part of his identity). Fry, not so much.

* Vault from ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'', if his motive of creating TheEmpire where every woman is a SexSlave isn't blatantly clear enough, even though him being the BigBad who kicks off the plot means that being "proven wrong" is [[DownplayedTrope not his one and only purpose in the story]].

* ''Film/ThreeHundred'' makes the Persians into a race of these, with a Persian diplomat making a sexist comment to immediately mark them as villains. By contrast, Leonidas treats his wife with respect, allows her to voice her opinion on diplomatic matters, and even seeks her approval before [[ShootTheMessenger killing the messenger]]. It's kind of funny since [[AdaptationalVillainy this is an exact inversion of real life]]; while Spartan women did enjoy more rights than in other Greek city-states, the Persians were some of the most egalitarian societies in the ancient world, and women were allowed to serve as administrators, and lead troops in battle. Seems to be subverted in the sequel, where a woman is both in charge of the Persian fleet and shown to be TheWomanBehindTheMan to the emperor. She's also the diplomat's adopted daughter of whom he's very proud, suggesting his comments in the first film were just to be annoying.

* In the stage version of ''Theatre/BeautyAndTheBeast'', Gaston becomes more misogynistic than his animated counterpart. His song "Me" features lines like Belle becoming his "property", "helping him extend the family tree" and "keeping house". He also forces a kiss on her in one scene, also making him a sexual assailant.

** ''Fanfic/TheLastWar'': Ron abuses [[{{Chickification}} Hermione]] and the kids before suffering a KarmicDeath. ''The Last War'' also goes UpToEleven by revealing ''the wizarding world'' [[NoWomansLand to be made up of this character type]].

** ''FanFic/BecomingFemale'': Several characters are "sexist", obviously including Ron. Basically, ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' with "sexists" in place of "preps"
** ''Fanfic/HogwartsSchoolOfPrayerAndMiracles'': Downplayed; Draco thinks women are stupid and beneath men and is treated as wrong for thinking this...except the heroes wholeheartedly believe in StayInTheKitchen.

Compare and contrast StrawFeminist, its usual inversion. Strangely, it's a rare story where both the StrawFeminist and the Straw Misogynist meet. The result of such an encounter is often HilarityEnsues, as both archetypes are natural enemies but in a SitcomArchnemesis flavor.

* Played with in ''FanFic/TotalDramaChris'': One challenge has the campers pretending to be ''other'' campers. [[spoiler:Justin]] is assigned Ezekiel, and takes advantage of this to rattle off a constant litany of sexist remarks, based off the ''[[NeverLiveItDown one]]'' [[NeverLiveItDown sexist comment]] Ezekiel had made in ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''. (Meanwhile, the [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation Zeke seen here]] is a FishOutOfWater NiceGuy who's mortified at this portrayal.)

* Draco in ''Fanfic/HogwartsSchoolOfPrayerAndMiracles'' serves as straw misogynist in order to make Harry's (and all other "positive" male character's views) seem woman-friendly.

* Snotlout in ''Fanfic/LostBoy'' makes it glaringly clear that he does not care whether Astrid would want to marry him or not, thinking that as heir to Berk's chiefdom, he is [[EntitledToHaveYou entitled to own her as his property]].

* The villainous organization in the Franchise/{{Pokemon}} ROMHack ''Pokemon [=PurePink=]'', Team Xeno, aim to create a masculine world where women StayInTheKitchen.
