* ''Series/WorldOnFire'': Mr. Rossler unhesitatingly kills a Nazi woman who threatened to out his daughter for being disabled, which might have got her killed. Given that, it's understandable.

* ''Series/StarTrekPicard'': Because Elnor was brought up by the [[AmazonBrigade Qowat Milat warrior nuns]], any ActionGirl who attacks him or his allies is fair game. He kills one of Narissa's female mooks in "Nepenthe", and he doesn't hesitate to start pummeling Narissa when she initiates a fight with him.

* ''Series/StarTrekPicard'': Because Elnor was brought up by the [[AmazonBrigade Qowat Milat warrior nuns]], any ActionGirl who attacks him or his allies is fair game. He kills one of Narissa's female mooks in "Nepenthe", and he doesn't hesitate to punch or kick Narissa when she initiates a fight with him.

* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': In this show, where both Kira and Jadzia are [[ActionGirl Action Girls]], few villains have any obvious compunction about fighting them hand-to-hand. In [[BattleCouple Worf and Jadzia's first sparring match]], Worf needed a little encouragement, but he quickly rallied and took her down:
-->'''Dax''': I hope you're not going easy on me because I'm a woman. If it makes it any easier, think of me as a man. [[GenderBender I've been one]] [[TheNthDoctor several times]].

* ''PowerRangers'':

* ''Series/{{Danger 5}}'': In the episode "Fresh Meat for Hitler's Sex Kitchen", Jackson decks a Nazi woman who is trying to kiss him.

* ''Series/DeadliestWarrior'': William the Conqueror is momentarily shocked when he realises he's fighting [[UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc a teenage girl]], but he doesn't let that stop him. [[spoiler:Said teenage girls winds up beating him.]]

* ''Series/HemlockGrove'': Roman hits Destiny near the end of the series and [[spoiler:accidentally kills her]]

* ''Series/{{Wonder Woman|1975}}'': Every [[{{Mook}} mook]] was perfectly willing to hit Wonder Woman, although very few of them were able to do so. In "Going, Going, Gone" a BruceLeeClone became one of the few [[{{Mook}} mooks]] to actually hit her - twice in the stomach. His fists bounced off her abs to no effect leading to [[OhCrap his own re-evaluation of the situation]]. In "The New, Original Wonder Woman", Count von Blasko goes through the motions of a "...but you insist" justification only to find out exactly how overmatched he is.

* ''Series/{{The 100}}'': None of the characters show any concern with harming women vs. harming men. Most notable when Octavia challenges a male Grounder to a sparring match and gets the crap beaten out of her.

---> '''Dr. Spaceman''': GO TO SLEEP! SLEEP, JENNA! SLEEP! IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!

** In the episode "X-Force," both Malloy and Reed spot an unconscious 6-year-old girl in the living room of a suspected child rapist; the girl is not seen explicitly on screen, but the reactions of our two protagonist officers make it clear what they witnessed. (Malloy is so disgusted that later, when the suspect makes a smart remark about how his victim got what she wanted, he blows his top.)

-->'''Buffy''': You hit me.
-->'''Angel''': Not to go all schoolyard on you, but you hit me first. In case you've forgotten - you're a little bit stronger than I am.

** In the 14th-season opener, "Forever," Little Joe finally gets married to a beautiful young woman named Alice. However, Alice's brother is an indolent gambler being stalked by a ruthless gambler named Sloan and his thugs ... and they eventually learn that Alice has married into the wealthy Cartwright family and have more than enough money to pay off Sloan. When Alice refuses and one of Sloan's stooges tries to steal a music box, she resists and flees to the bedroom ... only for the designated giant of the group (a 6-foot-8, 300-pound muscle man) to stalk Alice. Although not seen on camera, it is later implied that the giant brutally beat Alice (5-foot-5 and 120 pounds tops) by slapping and punching her repeatedly and crushing her ribs, before breaking her neck and killing her ... all this before the baddies burned down the house that she and Joe shared. (Incidentally, "Forever" was meant to showcase Dan Blocker as Hoss was the intended bridegroom, but Blocker's sudden death in May 1972 forced hasty rewrites by episode writer Michael Landon ... and his decision to put Joe in the shoes of Alice's husband-to-be.)

--> '''Jackson:''' Get your fascist mouth away from me!
--> '''Nazi Woman:''' You hit a woman!
--> '''Jackson:''' I hit a '''''Nazi'''''.

* ''[[Series/GameOfThrones Game of Thrones]]'': Being a CrapsackWorld, there are many men, even supposed chivalrous [[KnightInShiningArmor knights]], who are ready, willing, and able to hurt women. To be fair, some [[ActionGirl women]] in the series are able to hit back.

* ''Series/{{HemlockGrove}}: Roman hits Destiny near the end of the series and [[spoiler:accidentally kills her]]

-->'''Kristin Gilles:''' "Who the hell are you?!"
-->'''Methos:''' "A man born ''long'' before the age of chivalry."

** Similar to Buffy, none of the monsters in any of the series have any problem attacking the female rangers. This is likely helped by the fact that in many ''Franchise/SuperSentai,'' the [[ShesAManInJapan Yellow Rangers are male]], so a monster hitting a man in Japan is only hitting a girl in America. In one rather infamous example, when the Evil Green Ranger hijacks the Megazord cockpit, he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56XvIHaFiWo punches Trini across the face so hard]] she flies across the cockpit.

* ''Series/StargateSG1'': PlayedForLaughs in the episode "Prometheus Unbound." Vala expresses surprise that Daniel hit her during a fight she started and he replies, with understandable annoyance, "You hit ME!"
** Played much more seriously in ''Line in the Sand'' when Vala is captured by her former husband (and TheDragon to the BigBad), Tomin. Tomin is ordered to instruct Vala in the teachings of Origin as a punishment for allowing her to deceive him into marriage. When Tomin tries to give Vala sermons, she talks over him, pointing out all of the horrible things he's done (mostly mass murder) in the name of the Ori and finally shouting "The Ori are not gods!" Tomin snaps and slaps her, though he quickly shows remorse.

--> '''Dax''': I hope you're not going easy on me because I'm a woman. If it makes it any easier, think of me as a man. [[GenderBender I've been one]] [[TheNthDoctor several times]].

* ''[[Series/WonderWoman1975 Wonder Woman]]'': Every [[{{Mook}} mook]] was perfectly willing to hit Wonder Woman although very few of them were able to do so. In "Going, Going, Gone" a BruceLeeClone became one of the few [[{{Mook}} mooks]] to actually hit her - twice in the stomach. His fists bounced off her abs to no effect leading to [[OhCrap his own re-evaluation of the situation]]. In "The New, Original Wonder Woman", Count von Blasko goes through the motions of a "...but you insist" justification only to find out exactly how overmatched he is.
--> '''Count von Blasko:''' I prefer not to soil my hands on female flesh. But if you insist.
--> '''Wonder Woman:''' ''Knocks him out with one punch''

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone'': In the episode "Two," the man gets into a fistfight with an enemy soldier, who happens to be a woman. He knocks her out cold.

** Similar to Buffy, none of the monsters in any of the series have any problem attacking the female rangers. This is likely helped by the fact that in many ''SuperSentai,'' the [[ShesAManInJapan Yellow Rangers are male]], so a monster hitting a man in Japan is only hitting a girl in America.

* ''Series/{{Merlin}}'':

* The ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' ones pose a threat to every demon in existence so any worries they have about hitting women goes out the window, especially when one of them is trained in martial arts. Cole shows no problem training hand-to-hand with Phoebe and he eventually does hit her in the fifth season (in a bad future where they're still together but miserable).

* ''Series/{{Alphas}}'': Both Bill and Cameron have no problem beating up {{Dark Action Girl}}s, which is a good thing as until the second season all of the women with combat powers are evil.

** In "Blackwater", Sandor Clegane notes that he has put several women in the ground, and that Bronn has too.

* ''HumanTarget'': Guerrero pretty much introduced himself to Ames by punching her in the face. (It wasn't totally unreasonable in context, but it also wasn't his only option.)

** Bronn admits that the first person he killed was a woman who attacked him with a weapon. Shae still doesn't approve.

* ''DogTheBountyHunter'': Several of the bail jumpers pursued are alleged to have committed violence against women. One of them even threw Lyssa Chapman to the ground when she attempted to apprehend him.

* ''Series/{{Community}}'': Jeff and Troy in the episode "[[Recap/CommunityS2E06Epidemiology Epidemiology]]", if that girl were a zombie.
