1->''"Oh, poppycock! ''Female'' bandits? What next? Rubbish!"''
2-->-- '''Prince John''', ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973''
3
4An AlwaysFemale, or AlwaysMale, trope that is applied to the opposite gender.
5
6While it's not possible to pull off with many of these tropes, due to some of them requiring certain biological features, and others are automatically seen in a different light when gender-inverted, (like the MamaBear and the PapaWolf), making them an entirely different trope, others are only based on certain generic concepts associated with the gender, and nothing stops the writers from playing with them.
7
8It might be PlayedForDrama, PlayedForLaughs as a character's unique quirk, or even [[AchievementsInIgnorance not intended at all]]: For example, maybe a writer simply thought that gypsy men are hot, and didn't even realize that HotGypsyWoman is a lot more common trope.
9
10Conversely, it can be our own fault, due to ValuesDissonance, as our trope definitions are largely based on Western and Japanese works, so it is possible that for example an Indian or Latin American show's characters can be only described with our vocabulary as "Like this trope, but male", even though it could be considered a different trope over there, but none of us knows enough about the culture to make a page for it. If the two tropes are indeed separate, they can have separate pages created.
11
12In trope lists, it is often referred to as Rare Male Example and Rare Female Example.

21* In ''Literature/HarukaNogizakasSecret'', Shute Sutherland is a {{Rich B|itch}}astard with a [[GirlPosse Boy Posse]], sporting a [[NoblewomansLaugh Nobleman's Laugh]].
22* The relationship between ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' and Kyon is sometimes described as BelligerentSexualTension, but with a male {{Tsundere}}, and a female {{Jerk|WithAHeartOfGold}}.
23* In ''Literature/IsThisAZombie'', the male lead gets MagicalGirl powers.
24* In ''Manga/{{DNA2}}'', Kotomi is a rare female example of a GassHole with her frequent [[{{Fartillery}} farting]].
25* In ''Manga/IonoTheFanatics'', the protagonist is a young queen of a [[{{Ruritania}} foreign country]]. She likes girls, too: [[TheCasanova she has 1000 courtesans]]. She goes so far as to call herself a "skirt chaser".
26* In ''Literature/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'', it is the heroine Nyaruko who is the perverted one and the male protagonist Mahiro punishes her for indecent behaviour by stabbing her with a fork, [[PlayedForLaughs making her bleed and squick]].
27* In ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}'', three of the protagonists are a male version of TheThreeFacesOfEve: Innocent and not so bright Son Goku (the Child), patient HouseHusband Cho Hakkai (the Wife) and flirty stud Sha Gojyo (the Seductress).

29** ''Every'' Clan has a male TeamMom.
30* ''Music/{{Tsukipro}}'' does this in so many ways. Like K, every unit has a male TeamMom; male characters wear skirts, hair decorations, and [[PimpedOutDress impossibly frilly clothes]] often; male performers model for womens' products without a second thought, etc.
31* In ''Manga/TheWeathermanIsMyLover'', Amasawa is a {{Cosplay Otaku G|irl}}uy.
32* In ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' Poland, Finland, Sealand and Prussia have many characteristics of a PluckyGirl. Albeit their versions are highly flamboyant (Poland), [[CloudCuckooLander Finland]], [[BrattyHalfPint childish]] (Sealand) and/or narcissistic (Prussia) ones.
33** And let's not forget that Germany and England are male versions of the {{Tsundere}} trope.
34** Austria and Hungary meanwhile invert the LadyAndKnight trope, with Hungary more often than not being the knight.
35** Norway's hair-clip proves that it's not just the girls who are cuter with hair decs.
36** Japan ([[NationalStereotypes fitt]][[NationsAsPeople ingly]]) is a male YamatoNadeshiko.
37* Brock from the ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' is TeamMom supreme. He cooks, cleans, [[TheMedic heals injured Pokémon]], and even Ash's mother praises his domestic skills ("He's a better seamstress than ''I'll'' ever be"). It's overt from his first episode, as we first see him taking care of his nine brothers and sisters in their parents' absence, and his stated goal is to be a Pokémon Breeder (one who raises/cares for Pokémon). [[spoiler:Eventually he leaves to become a Pokémon Doctor.]]
38* [[spoiler:Kamille Bidan]] from ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'' and [[spoiler:Dilandau Albatou]] from ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'' are male versions of TheOphelia at some point of the story.

39* Ishida and arguably Yumichika from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' are also genderflipped {{Plucky Girl}}s.

41* Misaki from ''Manga/OnlyTheFlowerKnows'' is an [[CuteClumsyGirl endearingly clumsy]] boy who initially behaves [[{{Tsundere}} irritably]], but gradually [[DefrostingIceQueen warms up]] to his love interest over time, acting more shy and [[LuminescentBlush easily]] [[CrushBlush flustered]] around him. Said love interest also finds his teary face adorable. Unsurprisingly, he's from a BoysLove manga.
42* Eco from ''Manga/PlusSi'' is a male {{Kawaiiko}}.
43* Night from ''Manga/AbsoluteBoyfriend'' is a MagicalBoyfriend.
44* Kuranosuke from ''Manga/PrincessJellyfish'' is a male NerdNanny, and a [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Manic Pixie Dream Guy]].
45** Not to mention a {{Bifaux|nen}}jo.
46* In ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'', Sirica wants to kill Meta Knight because [[YouKilledMyFather he killed her mother]] (the normal version of the trope was played straight earlier by Knuckle Joe).
47* Erza Scarlet from ''Manga/FairyTail'' is TheBigGuy of her FiveManBand as she's one of the strongest female wizards of the title guild; notable because her team group is ''not'' an AmazonBrigade.
48* Similarly to Erza, Kagura from ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' is TheBigGuy too due to her immense strength (she is a Yato, a clan of incredibly strong Amanto). And she's younger than the guys in her group.
49* ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'' has an example of [[VillainessesWantHeroes Villains Want Heroines]], and an example of [[UnluckyEverydude Unlucky Everydudette]].
50* ''Anime/KillLaKill'':
51** Aikuro Mikisugi is a male version of a ShamelessFanserviceGirl in a VaporWear.
52** Nui Harime is a female version of a SissyVillain.
53* ''VisualNovel/{{Happiness}}'' is a rare series where a boy wears ProperTightsWithASkirt.
54* In ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'', Emperor Hotohori is very elegant and handsome swordsman [[LongHairedPrettyBoy with long hair]] - this makes him a male LadyOfWar.
55* In ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'', Bart is a [[SpaceshipGirl Spaceship Boy]].
56* The self-proclaimed Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka is a [[SenseiChan Sensei-kun]].
57* In ''Literature/MoribitoGuardianOfTheSpirit'', badass ActionGirl Balsa is the bodyguard of the young [[ShelteredAristocrat Prince Chagum]], in a gender inversion of the classic BadassAndChildDuo.
58* Sho from ''Manga/SkipBeat'' is a male IdolSinger.
59* An episode of ''Anime/HellGirl'' features a woman who [[PaterFamilicide killed her son out of greed and got away with it]]. She blackmails a girl who she thinks found out about it by holding the girl's dogs hostage. Unlike most examples, the woman also killed the boy's grandparents to get at their inheritance money. [[DraggedOffToHell She gets what's coming to her in the end.]]
60* ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'' is a [[MagicalGirlWarrior Magical Boy Warrior]] show, and also has male versions of PhoneaholicTeenager and CuteSportsClubManager.
61** The sequel, ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubHappyKiss'', throws a [[MagicalGirlQueenlinessTest Magical Boy Kingliness Test]] into the mix.
62* ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys'' and ''Anime/{{Tsuritama}}'' are [[SchoolgirlSeries Schoolboy Series]]. Ditto for ''Manga/YouAndMe'' and ''Manga/SeishunKouryakuhon''.
63* ''Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying'' has a [[YaoiFangirl Yaoi Fanboy]] and a {{Deconfirmed Bachelor}}ette.
64* Miss Kobayashi of ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' (by the same author as the above) is a [[{{Salaryman}} Salarywoman]].
65* Takeo Goda from ''Manga/MyLoveStory'' is basically a [[StockShoujoHeroine Stock Shojo Hero]].
66* ''Anime/SanrioBoys'' (especially its [[WebOriginal/SanrioBoys web incarnation]]) is probably the closest thing there is to a Rare Male Example of an OtakuSurrogate, being about a [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys group of pretty boys]] who like Creator/{{Sanrio}} [[Franchise/{{HelloKitty}} products]]. Although to be fair, it does have a [[PeripheryDemographic basis in reality]]. It also has a big helping of [[SchoolgirlSeries Schoolboy Series]] tropes as well.
67** ''Manga/FudanshiKoukouSeikatsu'' is another OtakuSurrogate, this time concerning a handsome [[YaoiFangirl Yaoi Fanboy]] and his dealing with loving the genre.
68* ''Manga/SaintSeiya'' has a male version of FrillyUpgrade, as the Bronze Cloths eventually become "Divine Cloths".

72* In the ''Literature/InfiniteStratos'' second season OVA, Charlotte has a dream in which Ichika and she are [[MistressAndServantBoy Master and Servant Girl]] respectively.
73* ''Manga/MagicalGirlOre'' is about girls becoming SuperGenderBender [[MagicalGirlWarrior Magical Boy Warriors]].
74* ''Literature/FateApocrypha'' has WholesomeCrossdresser Astolfo, who is described as 'beautiful beyond compare', which could reasonably be taken to see him as the [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman World's Most Beautiful Man]].
75* ''Manga/KomiCantCommunicate'' has an inversion of PantyShot - while climbing with Komi, Tadano's pants slip down to the point where she can see the top of his underwear, and struggles to avert her gaze.

77
78[[folder:Comic Books]]
79* Superhero's dads/paternal figures tend to be an example of [[DisposableWoman Disposable Men]].
80** ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': During his lifetime, Thomas Wayne tries to turn the corrupted Gotham City into a better place to live. His son Bruce Wayne, tries to do the same, but in a less diplomatic way. Despite some works casting doubt on how morally correct Thomas was, most of them represent him as TheGoodKing who always did the right thing in favour of his city despite his failures, and his death by the hands of the crime he used to fight is the principal motivation why Batman exists.
81** ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Uncle Ben is the main reason why Peter Parker is a hero. It's not surprising why the sentence "with great power comes great responsibility" [[note]]Despite popular belief, he didn't say the phrase first in the comics. It was the narrator, probably ''Creator/StanLee'' , inspiring by his experience as a screenwriter for the U.S army world war II propaganda. It wasn't until the [[{{Film/SpiderMan1}} Sam Raimi film]] when the character himself said it [[/note]] is associated with the character, and he also serves as a reminder of why Spider-man doesn't follow his selfish desires and instead become an altruist who tries to do the right thing for others.
82* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': In ''ComicBook/WhateverHappenedToTheManOfTomorrow'', Pete Ross suffers a male version of StuffedIntoTheFridge.
83* ''ComicBook/PlasticMan'': Plastic Man is a male version of a NavelDeepNeckline.
84* BattleCouple ComicBook/GreenArrow and ComicBook/BlackCanary often gender flip GuysSmashGirlsShoot, with Canary being the hand-to-hand expert and Arrow being, obviously, an archer, though they are both highly proficient in their opposing skill as well.
85* ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' has a male example of TheSmurfettePrinciple -- the Mighty Defenders team is made up almost entirely of female superheroes, with Spider-Man (a.k.a. Spider-Hero) as [[TheOneGuy the only male on the team.]]
86* In ''ComicBook/TheGatherersSaga'', Proctor is an example of [[WomanScorned Man Scorned]]. In his world, he married Sersi, but when she lost interest in him, he killed her, and now wants to kill all Sersis from all alternate universes.
87* In ''ComicBook/AlsBaby'', Al becomes a male PregnantBadass, and Al Jr. is a male DaddysLittleVillain.

97* ''Fanfic/HuntingTheUnicorn'' {{Cerebus Retcon}}s Blaine Anderson into either TheIngenue or the PrincessClassic. Despite also fitting the PrinceCharming or KnightInShiningArmor archetypes, Blaine's [[WideEyedIdealist optimism and naivete]] inevitably ''[[BreakTheCutie breaks him]]''.
98* Benedict (the hotheaded aggressive Out of Town), Tank (the smart easygoing Downtown) and Kidd (sarcastic style-oriented Uptown) of Fanfic/PokemonCrossing are [[TownGirls Town Boys]].
99* In ''Fanfic/MissingLinc'', Rusty shows signs of being a [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Violently Protective Boyfriend]] when he threatens to beat up Papa Wheelie and Flat Tire upon learning that they threatened his girlfriend Polly.
100* ''Fanfic/CodeGeassPaladinsOfVoltron'': Has a grandmother and grandson LikeFatherLikeSon. Lelouch rebelled against Britannia for their mistreatment of others and himself, [[spoiler: just like his grandmother did with the Galra Empire.]] In fact, [[spoiler: if Lelouch's maternal grandmother actually is Krolia, then she is the one person in his family he most takes after, choosing to battle a seemingly insurmountable foe to improve the lives of others even though doing so would likely be to his detriment.]]
101* In Chapter 4 of ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/30195933/chapters/74401440 Run to You]]'', [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Starscream]] has a male LingerieScene when he admires the lingerie he bought for his tryst with Skyfire.

104
105[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
106* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'' features a teenage couple making out in their car when [[TerrorAtMakeOutPoint the giant robot probe arrives]].

107* In ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman'', Sherman is a [[CuteClumsyGirl Cute Clumsy Boy]].
108* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', [[BroodingBoyGentleGirl Ming is a Brooding Girl to Jin's Gentle Boy]].

114-->That was a 'girlfriend' part, really ... That's a part that a lot of women end up playing, the 'why aren't you home more,' the naggy wife.
115* Janie Orlean in ''Film/DontLookUp'' is a female {{Trumplica}}, a [[BrainlessBeauty vapid]], [[AlphaBitch bullying]], {{corrupt|Politician}}, peroxide-blonde United States President who entered politics through the entertainment industry (in her case, it's implied that she was a former model) and whose every action reflects any number of criticisms that UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump's opponents had of him. Given the film's cynical attitude towards the political establishment in general, however, her characterization also includes criticisms of a number of Trump's opponents, most notably UsefulNotes/HillaryRodhamClinton, Trump's rival in the 2016 Presidential election.
116* Ash from the ''Franchise/EvilDead'' series started out as a [[FinalGirl Final Boy]].
117* Candace in ''Film/FinalDestination5'' is a female JerkJock, a gymnast who [[YouAreFat chides Olivia for her weight]] despite Olivia being the film's main MsFanservice character. (Olivia's response: "Sweetie, it's not fat. [[BigBreastPride They're called tits.]]")

123* In ''Film/AKnightsTale'', Kate's husband serves as a male version of TheLostLenore.
124* ''Film/LawrenceOfArabia'':
125** As an inspirational leader of [[HeroicBastard less than exalted origins]] who brings together warring tribes in their [[FightingForAHomeland fight for an independent homeland]] and affects an aura of mythic heroism, Lawrence plays the Arab Revolt's JeanneDArchetype. However, the homeland he's fighting for is not his own, which leads to [[ConflictingLoyalty complications]] most Jeannes don't have to deal with.
126** ''Lawrence of Arabia'' also features a man doing a GirlySkirtTwirl and a RapeAndRevenge subplot with a male victim.
127* ''Film/Lifeforce1985'' features a gender inverted take on the ''{{Dracula}}'' model by having a female vampire, the beautiful Space Girl, manipulating the desires and ultimately dominating WeakWilled men while being aided by two male brides.

Same goes for ComicBook/SpiderMan in [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spider_man_far_from_home.jpg this poster]] of ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', despite the fact that he is [[ValuesDissonance a teenager]] (although, his [[Creator/TomHolland actor]] is [[DawsonCasting not]]).
130** ''Film/{{Thor}}'' has what can best be described as a [[MagicalGirlQueenlinessTest Magical Boy Kingliness Test]] for the title character, who is also a [[MagicalGirlfriend Magical Boyfriend]] to a nerdy [[UnluckyEverydude Unlucky Everygirl]]. His brother Loki is a BrainyBrunet (magic and science are the same thing on Asgard), a CuteMonsterBoy (when Odin finds him as a baby), a [[DarkMagicalGirl Dark Magical Boy]], a male GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe (when he's exposed to the Jötnar's power) and a VainSorcerer. [[PeripheryDemographic Is it any wonder this]] [[EstrogenBrigade movie was a hit with the ladies?]]
131* ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves'' has a gender-reversed instance of OutdoorBathPeeping.
132* ''Film/TheRoom2003'' inverts TheUnfairSex by seeming to make out that the affair is all Lisa's fault, even though Mark was having it just as much as she was To be fair, Mark at least feels a pang of guilt about what's going on. But that's not enough to dissuade him until [[spoiler:Johnny commits suicide]].
133* May Day (Creator/GraceJones), from the Film/JamesBond film ''Film/AViewToAKill'', is a [[ScaryBlackMan Scary Black Woman]].
134* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':

152** Collin Creevey is arguably ''the'' example of a male FanGirl.
153* Kameron Hurley wrote Nyx in ''Literature/BelDameApocrypha'' as a female version of the ActionGenreHeroGuy. She felt that the ActionGirl protagonists of ScienceFiction and UrbanFantasy were too often written in what she felt were sexist ways that fixated on their gender, so she thought it would be a fun experiment to write an action heroine who really was a female version of a typical contemporary (late 2000s/early 2010s) male action hero, the only change being the pronouns used to describe her.
154* ''Literature/{{Holes}}'' has a rare female example of an [[WardensAreEvil Evil Prison Warden]] as the BigBad. There is also, in the backstory, Kissin' Kate Barlow, a woman who takes revenge for the murder of her beloved by becoming a bandit.

160[[/folder]]
161
162[[folder:Live-Action TV]]

170* Renn Kousaka/Go-on Blue from ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger'', a near-perfect example of a male YamatoNadeshiko and TeamMom.
171* Matilda from ''Series/EverythingsGonnaBeOkay'' is a rare female example of an autistic character, and her characterization averts the HollywoodAutism trope.
172* ''Series/FantasyIsland'' invoked it in an episode where a secretary, feeling like a sexual bargaining chip for her boss (Quote: "What am I, a piece of meat?") is given a chance to be CEO with a male secretary. She ends up promising a client a dinner date with her secretary in exchange for a lucrative business deal. Cue the IronicEcho about pieces of meat, coming from him.
173* Manipulative bully "King" Ralph from ''Series/FreshMeat'' is a male version of the AlphaBitch and RichBitch archetypes, complete with a [[GirlPosse Boy Posse]].

213* An InUniverse example in the ''Franchise/MagicTheGathering'' plane of Amonkhet. In Magic, [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angels]] are AlwaysFemale, with the only exceptions being one EarlyInstallmentWeirdness character and two from alternate dimensions. Amonkhet is the first plane where male angels are the default. This is foreshadowing, as angels in Magic are manifestations of [[WhiteMagic white mana]], and are arbiters of justice and administers of mercy. Their gender being reversed from the rest of the Multiverse is the first clue that the system of order and justice they uphold might be [[GodIsEvil similarly inverted]].

235** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' offers another White Magical Boy in the form of Brady, but due to the reclass system, he doesn't have to remain one. Conversely, Kellam starts as a MightyGlacier, but can be reclassed into a White Magical Boy (bonus points if he's Brady's father). [[SquishyWizard Tharja on the other hand starts as a]] DarkMagicalGirl, but can turn into one of the best GlacierWaif Great Knights, with her CuteAndPsycho daughter Noire able to get the same thing.

266* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has a male example of BeautifulAllAlong.
267* From ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', John's relationship with Vriska could be seen as a gender-flipped version of the "JerkWithAHeartOfGold AntiVillain {{Woobie}} meets [[ThePollyanna eternally-optimistic]] [[MessianicArchetype good girl]] [[LoveRedeems who redeems him]]'' trope. [[spoiler:If so, it's ultimately subverted when Vriska meets [[RedemptionEqualsDeath death by redemption]] and John later admits that in retrospect Vriska was just kind of crazy.]] That this particular relationship was especially good (likely [[TheyPlottedAPerfectlyGoodWaste by design]]) at inciting a BrokenBase may or may not be relevant.

332* Frank Butler gender inverted QuittingToGetMarried when he retired from performing shortly after marrying [[Theatre/AnnieGetYourGun Annie Oakley]].
333* If the United States ever elects a female or gay male president, then (unless the president is unmarried) the nation would have a first gentleman instead of a first lady, the title bestowed on the president's spouse who often takes a largely ceremonial role as one of the nation's leading socialites and influencers. Oddly enough, the closest the U.S. ever came to having a first gentleman was UsefulNotes/BillClinton, a former president himself, when his wife UsefulNotes/{{Hillary|RodhamClinton}} ran for president in 2016, leading to a lot of jokes about a [[SwappedRoles role reversal]] should she have won the election. It's not as much of an oddity at the state level, though, where many states have had female governors and, by extension, first gentlemen (as well as in Colorado, where Gov.
