History PlayingWith / NoWomansLand

** Women are forced to be naked 24/7, locked outside chained to pole, made to crawl around naked on leashes held by men and participate in shows. Meanwhile [[TreatedWorseThanThePet dogs are allowed]] to vote and own property.

** The women of Mansworld themselves decided that they should have to be naked.

** It was a decision made under the influence of a FantasticDrug, or just under duress, or during a period now considered to be rife with ValuesDissonance. By now, the AppealToTradition is the only "reasoning" offered for why women should always have to be naked.

** The men of Mansworld are all ([[CampGay hilariously sterotypical]]) homosexuals hell bent into making women's life an unbearable tribulation... Except their methods to pull it off aren't [[PokeThePoodle all that villanious nor destructive]], so women just consider them a minor nuisance at worst, and quite amusing (and kinda cute) at best.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Depending on the king they have at any given time and how he feels women are to be treated, the society fluctuates between treating women as sub-human just because they are women, women are seen as [[HystericalWoman inferior]], but tolerated and not treated too badly, and women are seen as just as valuable and competent as men and treated accordingly.

** The writer DoesNotLikeMen, and [[AuthorPhobia fears]] that NoWomansLand is what happens when they are in charge.

** The laws (religious or secular or both) of that society specifically state that men and women are equal and are to be treated as such, and the society does just that.

* '''Conversed''': "And I thought writers had grown beyond the "virility = misogyny" canard..."
* '''Deconstructed''':
** Mansworld was started by a bunch of [[StrawMisogynist straw misogynists]], who believe mistreating and beating up women ensured the men would have a happy life. The abuse gets so bad that their women suddenly decide to [[{{Gendercide}} mass-suicide themselves]], leaving only men and boys in Mansworld.
** Mansworld‘s women revolt, massacring every man and boy they find.
** Mansworld’s men balk when their mothers, wives, sisters and daughters get abused by society and reform their country.

* '''Played For Laughs''': Since Mansworld only allow men to live but not require what kinds of men that they accept, Alice uses LoopholeAbuse to PaperThinDisguise [[SweetPollyOliver herself as a]] [[DudeLooksLikeALady flawlessly female-looking]] [[RecursiveCrossdressing male crossdresser]], and it surprisingly works!
* '''Played For Drama''':

** President Bob grows [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horrified]] at Mansworld's treatment of women but refuses to reform the system due to fearing that women will wreck revenge on men if they regain power, that the more misogynistic men will kill him if he attempts and that he will lose his cushy job.

** Higher-class women [[{{Bifauxnen}} dress and behave like men]]

** It was a decision made under the influence of a FantasticDrug, or else it would be hard to justify intellectually and morally why women should always have to be naked.

** Inferior women are required to wear leggings with an unsightly crease down the front and a matching ceremonial leash around their necks at all times. A suit and tie in other words. As the superior gender the ruling men all wear far less restrictive floral dresses.

** It was a decision made under the influence of a FantasticDrug, or else the fact that SocietyMarchesOn makes it hard to justify intellectually and morally why women should always have to be naked.

** This state is a form of StepfordSuburbia; a woman who does not conform to accepted standards of beauty, lifestyle, personality, aspirations, etc. (i.e. a HollywoodHomely {{Tsundere}} who wants to be a scientist rather than a housewife) is killed (or brainwashed) by her nearest male relative.

** "We, the inclusive Mansworld, don't allow women but we accept all kinds of men, including our team, Joe the [[RidiculouslyAverageGuy Average]], Warren the WorldsStrongestMan, Patrick the [[RealMenWearPink pink-wearing brutal boxer]], Steve the SensitiveGuy, Larry the LovableJock, Nate the Nerd, Keith the [[ProfessionalKiller killer]], Greg the {{Gentleman|AndAScholar}}, Shawn the SharpDressedMan, Colin the CampGay, [[AgentPeacock Captain Peacock]] the CampyCombat master, Harry the HouseHusband, Tyler the UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}}, Dave the DudeLooksLikeALady, and [[SweetPollyOliver Oliver]] the...[[LoopholeAbuse obviously]] [[BreadEggsMilkSquick female-looking]] [[PaperThinDisguise self-identified]] [[RecursiveCrossdressing male crossdresser]].....err....[[BlatantLies there are only men in Mansworld!! I swear!!]]"

** Alternatively, Mansworld originated as a refuge for men from a StrawFeminist society that DoesNotLikeMen to the point of violent fanaticism.

* '''Downplayed''': While women aren't treated horribly in this foreign land, there is noticeable prejudice.
