Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': A negative song about [[HeManWomanHater women]].
2* '''Straight''': Bob writes a song about how AllWomenAreLustful.
3* '''Exaggerated''':
4** Every song Bob writes is like this.
5** The song is particularly dark and even glorifies {{Gendercide}}.
6** The song is about [[CripplingCastration genital mutilation]].
7** It's not only Bob's musical persona, but Bob himself that holds this ideology.
8* '''Downplayed''': An angry breakup song about Bob's ex-wife has sexist stereotypes in it, but is still mostly about a specific person.
9* '''Justified''':
10** Bob is being {{satir|e}}ical or {{iron|y}}ic.
11** The song is from the perspective of a character (either Bob's musical persona or another character he's created).
12** Bob really just is a misogynist.
13* '''Inverted''': Bob writes a FemaleEmpowermentSong.
14* '''Gender Inverted''': Alice writes a song about how [[DoesNotLikeMen men suck]].
15* '''Subverted''':
16** The song is about a ''specific'' woman in Bob's life, such as [[BreakupSong his horrible ex]], [[MyBelovedSmother his overbearing mom]], [[AllLoveIsUnrequited his unrequited love interest]], etc., not women in general.
17** In the bridge of the song, the song is directed ''specifically'' at Alice, not the female gender as a whole, and it uses no sexist terms.
18* '''Double Subverted''':
19** But the last line admits that he told other girls to StayInTheKitchen to not end up like them.
20** Despite the song having no sexist terms, the lyrics still admit that MenAreBetterThanWomen.
21** But Bob just replaces sexist terms with the name "Alice" to describe all women, and later [[Music/SirMixALot this name becomes a slang term for a narrow-minded woman]] [[BabyNameTrendKiller and it lessens the usage of this name since then]].
22* '''Parodied''':
23** The song is about how women smell funny.
24** The song is about GirlsHaveCooties
25* '''Zig Zagged''': The lyrics are very cryptic and interpretations vary from person to person. Also, [[FlipFlopOfGod in some of Bob's interviews he says it is a sexist song, and in others he denies it.]]
26* '''Averted''':
27** Bob doesn't write any sexist songs.
28** Bob isn't a musician.
29** None of Bob's music has any lyrics of any kind; they're all {{instrumentals}}.
30* '''Enforced''':
31** Bob is being satirical and trying to make a point about the view of women.
32** Bob is just sexist.
33** Bob originally just wanted to make a BreakupSong condemning his cheating ex, but the execs insisted he can make it edgier to receive more attention from [[BileFascination how horrible the lyrics are]].
34* '''Lampshaded''': "Warning: this next song may offend some people of the female gender."
35* '''Invoked''': Bob's 5-year relationship with Alice ends on a sour note when he catches her in bed with Charles. Crappy relationships tend to be a pattern for Bob.
36* '''Exploited''': Bob makes the song to ride the NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity wave.
37* '''Defied''':
38** "Just because I have a bad experience with some women doesn't mean I gonna write the song that blames all women."
39** Instead of directly blaming women through his song, Bob invokes ViewerGenderConfusion by using gender-neutral words and pronouns to describe horrible people in his life and/or become an EqualOpportunityOffender by using terms that are against ''both'' men and women.
40* '''Discussed''': "Well, that song's [[SarcasmMode totally not sexist]]."
41* '''Conversed''': "Why do we have so many songs talking about why women suck? It's offensive!" "Plenty of songs speak poorly of men, so I guess it's only fair to avoid a DoubleStandard."
42* '''Deconstructed''':
43** Bob's profits begin to drop because it as it turns out, the majority of his fans are female and even 'they're'' getting sick of his shit, with all of his songs [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks being really samey in the lyrical department]].
44** Bob gains the hate of women everywhere.
45** Bob goes on to say that condemning fully half of humanity isn't working out too well for him, especially since he's heterosexual.
46** Bob does gain a fandom. Either they're far-right incels who use his songs as anthems for their own rampages, self-loathing women who are starved for affection and use his songs to justify their self-loathing or an ironic fandom who see Bob as a joke and deliberately egg on him while trolling him so he'll [[BileFascination continue to make more songs]].
47** During one song, he goes [[MoralEventHorizon way too far]] and ends up with [[GoneHorriblyWrong so many complaints that the police wind up on his doorstop]] and [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome arrest him for inciting violence]] on not only his ex but every woman he believes to have wronged him. This one hit ends up demolishing Bob's reputation completely and he's forced to leave the industry.
48** Bob becomes a transgender woman himself, only for his previous songs to [[LaserGuidedKarma come back and haunt him]]. He's accused of faking his new gender to run away from his old controversies or being transphobic in addition to his misogyny.
49* '''Reconstructed''': Bob couldn't care less.
50** Bob after being arrested for inciting violence goes to prison. Inspired by his time in the slammer, he creates a new album, attracting a set of new fans and expanding his musical horizons in the process.
51** Bob decides to embrace his reputation and makes [[SpringtimeForHitler even more money than he did before]], becoming #No.1 in the music industry and all his songs becoming platinum.
52** Bob releases his song via limited distributors and gives an age-restrict with caution, so it lessens the fanbase but he receives less backlash either, causing his songs to become CultClassic.
53** Bob realizes that he can rework all his songs as parodies, causing him to be seen as a feminist icon who's done more for women in the music industry than anyone else.
54* '''Played For Drama''': The song describes [[SexualHarassmentAndRapeTropes rape]] and DomesticAbuse from a CrazyJealousGuy.
