History Main / StrawFeminist

* In ''Adventure Comics'' #326, the female members of the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes are brainwashed by a [[LadyLand planet of women]] (who banished all their men for not fighting for sport) into wanting to kill the male Legionaires. Then [[ComicBook/{{Valor}} Mon-El]] saves their planet and they realize men are okay, really. The name of the planet is Femnaz. No, really.

* The Johnny Hunter in ''Anime/EdenOfTheEast'' is a female SerialKiller whose quest to "save Japan" is motivated by her country's hideously misogynistic culture. She seduces or kidnaps rapists and other cruel men, takes them back to the seclusion of their apartment, and then [[GroinAttack uses a cigar cutter to remove their johnnies]]. Perhaps {{Subverted|Trope}} because she is presented very sympathetically when we actually meet her.

** It also mildly deconstructs the notion. A large reason for their zealous vitriol against men is out of never interacting with one. Most don't even seem to understand them as being much like fellow human beings. They try and use ''Luffy'', the first male they met, as an example, which leads to HilarityEnsues, especially when they assume that all males are also made of rubber (they have no understanding of Devil Fruits and believe the Boa sisters' powers were the result of a curse.) Even those that go out on crews and see the outside world, only have a basic understanding, which is not much. The only ones that have a decent understanding of the outside world, the Boa sisters, also influenced the society because the first men they met were unfortunately the World Nobles (who are scumbags supreme). Despite this, they are civil when on the job (namely when Hancock is performing her duty as Warlord.)

** Arcs like ''ComicBook/AmazonsAttack'' and the AlternateUniverse of ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' show them at their most monstrous. Although they were out for the blood of ''anybody'' who was not an Amazon, it could be told in all seriousness that men had it ''worse''. As in "secret experimentation camps created without Diana's knowledge ([[EvenEvilHasStandards because they were too horrible even for her]])" worse, in ''Flashpoint''.

* The villains of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10278178/1/Girls-und-Panzer-The-Eagles-of-Oarai?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=O4y6RXX3uEywNayf7e3q6IpkGO.nAqTc_e5kJIIIUe4-1641508933-0-gaNycGzNC-U Girls und Panzer: The Eagles of Oarai]]'', are a group of female pilots known as Retribution, who hate the idea of men getting involved in tankery. Of course, it turns out that the leader [[spoiler:wants revenge on the main character for her grandfather's death in World War II]]. Similarly, Shiho despises boys getting involved in tankery so much that she [[IHaveNoSon disowns her younger daughter Miho over it]](Shiho doing so for this reason is a common plot element in ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'' fan fiction) and even says she intends for men to be slaves to women.

* This was a recurring theme in the more old-fashioned and politically unaware comedy shows of TheSeventies. Both ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'' and ''Series/TheTwoRonnies''[[note]]Both noted for relgating female performers to the "totty" role[[/note]] had mini "comedy-dramas" based on the theme of extremist feminists in jackboots taking Britain over and reversing the roles, where humourless feminists forced men into subordinate positions.

* [[http://lashings.org Lashings of Ginger Beer]] parody the stereotype of lesbian separatist straw feminists in their song [[http://youtu.be/Q_4yCm6DZp8 Vagina Dentata]] Warning: this link is not suitable for work as it contains strong language.

* ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'': Lady Anita, an over-the-top parody of Anita Sarkeesian from ''WebVideo/FeministFrequency'', is an insane cult leader who plans to takeover Website/{{Tumblr}} with an army of Social Justice Warriors and establish a male-hating feminist dictatorship.

* ''WebAnimation/MoniRobo'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww0Gk35nQao Ms. Yabami]] and her group force the men to work themselves ragged while the female employees slack off, using women's rights as an excuse. Furthermore, she is willing to bully other female employees if they dare to work hard like the men, like Ms. Tanaka. Turns out Yabami and her posse got where they are because [[spoiler:she blackmailed Executive Yakamashi after getting him drunk and sleeping with him.]]
* ''WebAnimation/TheMostEpicStoryEverToldInAllOfHumanHistory'': The trope gets explicitly {{Defied}}. Ridiculously Epic intends to invoke this on Epically Avoids You by painting her idea that women should be allowed to vote as something absurd, but then she shoots down his accusation with sound logic for her arguments.

-->'''Ice''': Well, ''being'' a woman helps...

-->'''Nameless mouse''': I'm not helpless! It's nearly the twenty-first century! Shame on you for teaching your son to be a sexist pig! I don't need a man getting in my way! I'm fully capable of opening a door!

* Parodied in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4uuP12vuH0 this video]]. Still, some people [[PoesLaw believed that it was real]].
* Web-comedian Pia Glenn lampoons the trope [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anjxU7ma9Z8 here]] as well.

* Episode 7 of the fictional [[CoveredInGunge mess-as-penalty]] television series, [[https://tellygunge.wordpress.com/2016/04/14/comeuppance-episode-7-introduction/ Comeuppance]], features a power-mad fun-hating straw feminist student union officer as one of the contestants, who argues that having 50.3% of cis-males in Larchester University's student body proves how 'privileged' they are, and bans males from taking the officer role. [[https://tellygunge.wordpress.com/2016/04/17/comeuppance-episode-7-update/ The update]] ([=NSFW=] due to nudity) also features another straw feminist who argues the director is a pig for gunging women only, calls him 'a misogynist and a perv', and promptly takes off her shirt to show she wears no bra to protest. Naturally, she's shown as a joke.

** ''Stan Knows Best'': Haley originally believed that women at a strip club were being exploited. However, when the (female) club owner argued that it was the male customers who were exploited, Hayley seemed to have no problem with that and ended up working as a stripper herself. This is somewhat PlayedForLaughs, and it's implied that most of the other strippers aren't really emotionally stable... So, ZigZaggingTrope?

** ''Pulling Double Booty'': Haley's longtime on-and-off boyfriend (and later husband) Jeff Fischer had always been puppieishly devoted to her, but for a long time she found his behavior annoying/suffocating and treated him rather shabbily. While it's dryly remarked that she breaks up with Jeff every other week, when he has the perceived gall to break up with ''her'', she goes on such a violent rampage that people flee in terror, and it takes nearly 20 tranquilizers to subdue her.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': [[Characters/BatmanPoisonIvy Poison Ivy]] is sometimes portrayed this way. In one famous episode, she goes on a crime spree with Harley Quinn and claims it's all about female empowerment. The episode ends with her being arrested by Detective Montoya and another female cop. For added irony, this is just after Ivy taunts that "[[NoManOfWomanBorn No man alive can capture us]]!"

** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS30E18BartVsItchyAndScratchy Bart vs. Itchy & Scratchy]]": Bart flirts with this tope when he falls in with three girls who like to "drop awareness bombs" about feminist issues. While he's deeply impressed with their dramatic – and sometimes violent – displays of activism, Lisa calls him out for not truly caring about the underlying cause, saying "You just want to spray-paint the world and watch it drip!" (This is somewhat ironic, considering Lisa's frequent flirtation with the trope, but not incorrect either).

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': Parodied when a parody of the [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo the Scooby Gang]] shows up in the episode "Viva Los Muertos!" Parody-Velma (a Valerie Solanas {{expy}} named Val) is constantly spouting this talk, going so far as to actually tell Parody-Daphne that men are "walking abortions".

* Military science fiction ''Literature/{{Victoria}}'' has a literal [[ANaziByAnyOtherName "feminazi"]] example in the Azanian Democratic Republic, a high-tech fascist LadyLand that treats men as an undesirable minority, has outlawed pregnancy and motherhood and reproduces through [[HomosexualReproduction eugenic cloning]].

* In the various Website/GoAnimate "[[YouAreGrounded Grounded]]" videos involving ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'', the title character's little sister, Rosie, is infrequently portrayed as this, spouting the stereotypical phrases used in their portrayals and attempting to do harm to Caillou or their father, Boris.

* The supervillain Superia wants to either eliminate, enslave, or [[GenderBender feminize]] all men -- and doesn't mind sterilizing 90% of Earth's women to make it happen. As Anaconda of the Serpent Society puts it, "What'samatter, you didn't get asked out to the prom or somethin'?" Despite this, she was able to gather enough followers to put together one of the largest all-female teams of superhumans to date (actually, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femizons one of the largest teams of superhumans]] ''period''). Superia seems to have dropped this in her later reappearance; she has both men and women in her employ and treats both her male and female mooks like crap and now mainly focuses on her own selfish goals. This is probably because her previous schemes usually were foiled with the help of other female characters. (Many of them on the aforementioned large team, Anaconda included.)

* The Johnny Hunter in ''Anime/EdenOfTheEast'' is a female SerialKiller whose quest to "save Japan" is motivated by her country's hideously misogynistic culture. She seduces or kidnaps rapists and other cruel men, takes them back to the seclusion of their apartment, and then [[GroinAttack uses a cigar cutter to remove their johnnies]]. Perhaps {{Subverted|Trope}} because she is presented very sympathetically when we actually meet her.

* Tina the Tech Writer from ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}'' is an unorthodox variation. Far from being the stereotypical butch lesbian, Tina is, if anything, the [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl girly girl to Alice's tomboy]]. Nevertheless, Tina sees imaginary sexism everywhere and blames her [[NeverMyFault mostly self-inflicted problems]] on it. Generally, when Scott Adams wants to make a point about actual sexism, it will happen to Alice, who will respond with snark and/or her [[MegatonPunch Fist of Death]]. As a result, it seems that all the real sexism happens to Alice, but never to Tina.

* ''Fanfic/MRATrilogy'': In the ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' fanfic ''The Most Men's Rights Activist Fanfic Ever Made'', the antagonists (including Elsa) are stereotypical Tumblr feminists and do fall into several feminist stereotypes, like being pagan and sexually progressive.
* ''Fanfic/HogwartsSchoolOfPrayerAndMiracles'': Aunt Petunia has short hair and "never wears any makeup". The author goes on to describe her in negative terms, and it is pretty clear she is meant to be viewed as an ugly, mannish feminist.
* The ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' version of Rip Van Winkle is an in-universe version. She spouts a lot of stereotypical feminist and social justice terms, but it's clear that to her they're just more memes that she can mindlessly repeat as a form of attention-seeking with no real idea what they mean. The result is a literal Nazi who calls people racist, misogynistic, and homophobic with no trace of irony.

* ''WebVideo/MyHeroAbridged'': Ochako complains about Deku's rescue of her because she didn't consent to it. It reaches such a degree of ridiculousness that [[AdaptationalNameChange Yomama]] (Yaoyorozu) finally shuts her up with an epic TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about how these give ''real'' feminists a bad name. It's subverted in [[CerebusSyndrome Season 2]] when it's revealed [[spoiler:Ochako doesn't actually hate men. She just hates ''Izuku'' for what she saw as him stealing Katsuki from her when they were children. The feminism thing was just a convenient excuse to make his life miserable]].
* Subverted in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12907687/1/The-Wings-of-Lilith The Wings of Lilith]]''. While Peggy Quinn and her clients view Lilith, a baby-murdering demoness, as a feminist icon, it’s only because they believe that the more monstrous elements were added in as an anti-feminist propaganda to a fictional character who could promote such a movement, and are depicted as normal and friendly people. Peggy even helps Kolchak destroy Lilith after seeing that Lilith is real and a legitimate threat to innocent people.

%%* Jailbreak from ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie'' is a ''thoroughly'' unintentional example.

* Early in ''Film/TheBoondockSaints'', the brothers show a rather butch female employee around their job (a meat-packing plant). The woman goes off on them for using the phrase "Rule of Thumb", citing the (apocryphal) origin of the term, and things soon escalate to the point where she kicks one of them, Connor, in the balls, followed by the other brother, Murphy, laying her out on the floor with one punch, leading to [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale both of them getting fired]] for [[WouldntHitAGirl hitting a girl]].
* Hayley and ''especially'' her mother in ''Film/TheSandlot 2''. The movie is set during the 2nd wave of feminism and it does not let you forget it. Hayley's mom bitches at her husband for daring to call their daughter ''sweetheart'' since it's demeaning and later gives Hayley the advice "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." They even have a cat named Miss Susan B. Later we find out Hayley grew up to become both a baseball player and a model and her equally feminist friends became housewives.
* Parodied in ''Film/DownWithLove'', in which Barbara, Vicki, and most of the other female characters zigzag alarmingly between this trope, at least in its early 1960s equivalent, and 'submissive housewife doll' mode, while the men also frequently veer wildly between stereotypical thoughtless pigs and over-sensitive new age guys. The movie ends with the main characters of both genders [[TakeAThirdOption reaching an accommodation]] with each other and settling into happy and satisfying relationships based on equal terms.

* One of the Women's Studies professors in ''Film/SororityBoys'', who also doubles as something of a SternTeacher based on the absurd amounts of work she assigns. One shot during a montage shows her underlining "THE VAGINA IS ERGONOMICALLY SUPERIOR TO THE PENIS" in [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation willy-shrivelingly huge]] letters on the chalkboard. The same montage has her talking about the "myth of the male orgasm". PlayedForLaughs, [[PoesLaw hopefully]].
%%* The plot of the Polish {{dystopia}} flick ''Film/SexMission'' is all about an underground society ruled completely by this trope.

* ''Film/TheHairyBird'':
-->'''Odie:''' You hypocrite. I thought you hated boys.\\
'''Verena:''' I know, but I've been thinking, perhaps they are like dogs. If we don't take them in, they run wild and are a danger to society.
* The divorce court run by women in ''[[Film/TheNakedGun Naked Gun 33 1/3]]''.
* ''Film/CarryOnGirls'': The feminists in the movie are a mild version and not as misandrist as typical characters of this trope, as their main concern is making sure that the beauty queens in the Miss Fircombe Contest aren't leered over by {{Dirty Old M|an}}en. It should also be noted that even Mildred Bumble, the Mayor's wife, is one too, even though these typical characters would be unlikely to get married.
* Maude from ''Film/TheBigLebowski''. It's less her (largely mainstream) feminist beliefs that are PlayedForLaughs, and more the fact that [[RuleAbidingRebel she seems convinced that she's somehow being subversive and revolutionary by stating them]]. There's also an element of blatant projection and hypocrisy; for instance, she has a whole spiel about how men are pathetic for being awkward about the word "vagina" and then visibly winces when she hears the word "penis".
* In ''Film/MaryPoppins'', Mrs. Banks is the rare First Wave Feminist portrayal; she's a suffragette who gets a whole song about campaigning for women's rights (which is then played for HypocriticalHumor when she puts her sashes away as soon as her husband comes home because "the cause infuriates Mr Banks"). She also happily joins in with the impromptu CrowdSong of chimney sweeps happening in her house as soon as they sing "votes for women!"
* ''Film/{{Bit}}'': Duke espouses a view that blames men for most problems society faces and feels they oppress women collectively. Her goal however is not simply to make them equal. Rather, she wants to make all women into vampires and have men be their prey, so they'll know how it feels being on the bottom. Unsurprisingly, she hates men and forbids any male vampire in her group (on pain of death). This was given an explanation in her past as a {{sex slave}}. However, at least one member of her group defied the rules, with Duke punishing her. At first the rest appear to agree, though later it turns out they were mentally compelled to go along. Laurel rejects this view, instead advocating making everyone vampires so they're equal.
* ''Film/AirplaneIITheSequel'': On Public Broadcasting one is hosting a talk show who claims the entire disaster is the fault of meat-eating men (she also doubles as a straw vegetarian), saying this could have been avoided if a vegetarian woman were in charge. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent The sign language translator]] thinks she's full of it.
* Kris of ''Film/BlackChristmas2019'' is an outspoken student activist who DoesNotLikeMen, claims "men have all the power", throws drinks in the faces of {{Straw Misogynist}}s and [[BerserkButton flips out]] when another character paraphrases "not all men". She could however count as a subversion, as she's intended to be a ''sympathetic protagonist'' (and is the rare non-white variant). She does still stand out as, while her friends are all feminist activists, she's by far the most outspoken and aggressive.

* The character of Miss Western in the novel ''Literature/TomJones'' is a proto-feminist who believes women are men's equals. At first this seems to the modern reader to be a remarkably progressive expression on the part of the author, but reading further, it becomes clear that a contemporary reader would have found the idea to be very humorous and inherently ridiculous from the outset. As the novel progresses, it becomes clear that Miss Western is tyrannical and only feels this way because she doesn't have a man of her own.
* General Jinjur from ''Literature/TheMarvelousLandOfOz'' plotted the overthrow of King Scarecrow because she thought the Literature/LandOfOz was ruled by men for too long. Hypocritically (and cluelessly given half the countries in Oz are matriarchies complete with AmazonBrigade that promptly hand her army their ass) her entire plan relied on exploiting the double standard in her favor, namely in guys not willing to fight them. May have actually been an AffectionateParody of the early women's movement, as Creator/LFrankBaum was actually the son-in-law of one of the movement's prime movers (whom he greatly respected), and advocated it himself. Elsewhere he portrays female rulers positively, along with women doing traditionally masculine activities. [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._Frank_Baum#Women.27s_suffrage_advocate has more on the subject]].

* Akasha in ''[[Literature/TheVampireChronicles Queen of the Damned]]'' by Creator/AnneRice. Though she does not use politically correct terms, since she's supposed to be an {{ancient Egypt}}ian, she believes all violence on Earth is caused by men. Her plan is to use her near-omnipotent powers as mother of all [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]] to [[{{Gendercide}} destroy almost all the world's males]] and create a utopia run by women, with herself as benevolent queen and goddess. In the end [[spoiler:she is destroyed by female twin vampires Mekare and Maharet, for personal reasons as much as to stop her plot]]. She may or may not really be a straw feminist since it's unclear whether or not the author agrees with her (persistent AuthorAvatar Lestat seems very ambivalent).
* Sisera Catheter in ''Postmodern Pooh'', who dissects ''Winnie the Pooh'' from the standpoint of "gynocritical discourse". Though the book is an obvious exaggeration, the footnotes quoting RealLife academic feminists suggest that PoesLaw applies to some extent.
* In Creator/HarukiMurakami's ''Literature/KafkaOnTheShore'', two such beings visit the library where Oshima works, explicitly to find how the organization of the library is unfriendly to female patrons. They are shocked into silence when Oshima gives them an interesting [[TheReveal heart-to-heart]].
* Jane Rizzoli in Tess Gerritsen's ''Literature/RizzoliAndIsles'' series dislikes beautiful women (partly because she isn't) and is all too eager to assign a negative characteristic to them, and she often expresses disgust and contempt for the men who have fallen in love with them, dismissing them all as shallow and foolish-[[{{hypocrite}} but it's okay for her to instantly fall in love with a handsome man]]. She also has a chip on her shoulder about being the only female detective in the homicide department and is quick to interpret all criticism and praise, for that matter-as sexist. And in a scene where she visits a bar, she views nearly every man there as a potential rapist and every woman as an idiot willing to put herself in danger.
* {{Subverted|Trope}} in J. Courtney Sullivan's ''Literature/{{Commencement}}'' with a ''sympathetic'' portrayal of a radical feminist: April, one of the main characters, is a self-described [=MacKinnonite=] who sees organizations like NOW as "not doing enough." However, she's shown to be more of a WellIntentionedExtremist, a good person who perhaps is a bit too idealistic [[spoiler:which she's abandoned by the end of the novel after she learns the hard way that some people like to take advantage of wide-eyed young guns]]. Even the de rigeur anti-male attitude gets a FreudianExcuse in April's case: her father [[DisappearedDad abandoned April and her mom]], and when April was 13 [[spoiler:a middle-aged family friend [[BreakTheCutie raped]] and [[CrossesTheLineTwice impregnated]] her]]. The other three main characters, April's friends, each represent more moderate variations on feminism (one even works for NOW). April's boss, Ronnie Munro, could be seen as a straight-playing of the trope if the novel didn't go out of its way to acknowledge that her brand of "feminism" is far from the most prevalent or consistent one.

* [[WifeBasherBasher Niklas]] from Jens Lapidus' ''Literature/AldrigFuckaUp'' is a rare male Straw Feminist. He beats up his neighbor's boyfriend for hitting her, stalks several men whose names he stole from a women's shelter, shooting one and torturing another to death, and at the finale, blows up a CorruptCorporateExecutive who organizes orgies for the upper class.
* ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'':
** Circe believes that all men are pigs, and…considering [[ForcedTransformation her powers]], and [[Literature/TheOdyssey the work in which she originally appeared]], you can see where she's going with that (though for the sake of convenience, she currently uses guinea pigs). She believes that women are so oppressed that they can only achieve power through magic (a belief later expressed by her niece Medea in the sequel series ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus''). She's so bad that even [[SoapboxSadie Annabeth]] thinks she's a bigot.
** Most of the Hunters of Artemis all [[DoesNotLikeMen don't like men]], and have [[CelibateHeroine sworn off any romantic relationships]] (including with men), but unlike Circe, they don't ''harm'' guys unless provoked. [[note]]Which isn't very reassuring, considering that Greek deities like Artemis are infamous for DisproportionateRetribution and often consider small, harmless, and usually unintentional actions to be legitimate "provocation." Artemis claims to have turned guys into {{jackalope}}s and other animals just for ''stumbling upon their camp''.[[/note]] Zoë Nightshade, the lieutenant of the Hunters, hates guys at first, but Percy's actions gradually cause her to respect them. It's worth noting that at least ''part'' of Zoë's distrust for the male gender is actually just a ruse for the ''real'' reason why she doesn't want Percy on her quest: [[spoiler:he carries the sword of the man who broke her heart]].
* Katie from ''Literature/TheFabulousFive'' series sanctimoniously declares that she would never be a cheerleader, as she finds it degrading to women (and doesn't give a crap that she's essentially insulting her two friends who are joining the cheerleading squad). When another friend gushes about her boyfriend, she haughtily insists that the boy's gentlemanly gestures (holding the door for her, etc) are in fact sexist and patronizing, but she later ends up with the most macho guy in school as her boyfriend.

* The title character of ''Literature/ThePostman'' is caught between the Scouts and the Holnists ([[ProudWarriorRaceGuy straw masculists]].) The Scouts come off better, but they're still slightly crazy. The main difference between the Scouts and most examples on this page is that they are more or less egalitarian feminists that both know of the progress made towards gender equality in the USA during the 20th Century as well as recognize the fact that in the post-apocalyptic present all those achievements are being eroded. Furthermore, they realize that within a generation or two women could be in the same situation they were two centuries ago, or if the Holnists win far far worse. This possibility they really want to avoid. The "slightly crazy part" is that the Scouts are mostly from a pocket of civilization centered on a surviving university campus, so they're long on ideology and commitment but short on practical solutions. Although they earnestly try to train and prepare for the coming conflict, battle between the Scouts (in their current form) and the Holnists would be a lot like an armed hiking club trying to repel a Cossack raid. [[spoiler: Perhaps unsurprisingly, their plot against the Holnists fails.]]

* [[Literature/CiaphasCain Amberley Veil]]: Cain's wonder that a female techpriest is doing something called "multitasking" with her electronically-enhanced brain, something all women have always been able to do to the befuddlement of men, or that an all-female Guard regiment would likely not tolerate a mere male as their commissar. The latter turns out to be true when his regiment serves on a matriarchal world and the women there have the same StayInTheKitchen attitude towards the men in his regiment as the patriarchal Tallarns had to the women in an earlier adventure, and he gets to deal with open jokes about being there as his Colonel's eye candy.
* The Literature/{{Gor}} series has a number of these, usually, Earth women who don't realize [[AuthorTract how enlightened Gor is]] in terms of [[NoWomansLand not trying to violate human nature.]] They inevitably find HappinessInSlavery, once they are broken of their "feminist" nonsense.
* Marie Croswell's self-published novel ''Literature/SexBrood'' has an ostensibly progressive, positive female protagonist, Gabriel. Gabriel is not only a PI of questionable ethics, but she is also frankly dismissive and callous towards other female characters, regarding them as little other than sex objects and victims incapable of making adult decisions about their own lives.
* ''Literature/HowNotToWriteANovel'' has a section on avoiding using your novel as a [[AuthorTract soapbox to profess your political views]]. One of the examples features a man who lives next door to a group of these, who berate him for keeping one of their toddlers from falling into a swimming pool, live like animals, and advise their male children to "remember to be ashamed of your penis".
* In ''Literature/TheVoyageOfTheDawnTreader'', Eustace tries to use his mother's feminist arguments to claim Lucy shouldn't get a cabin to herself on the ''Dawn Treader''. However, it's clear that Eustace is motivated less out of any concern for gender equality and more out of affront that Lucy or anyone else should receive any privileges that ''he'' doesn't. (He also shows no awareness whatsoever of the reason why Lucy, the only girl amidst the ship's crew, might need a lockable room of her own.) He certainly doesn't object later when Lucy suggests girls need less water than boys.
* J. Neil Schulman's ''Literature/TheRainbowCadenza'' has a good case of Straw Feminists repeatedly ''shooting themselves in the foot.'' After the development of an over-the-counter drug that suppresses the production of X-chromosome sperm, Earth has a "[[WorldWarIII war to end all wars]]" and 20 men to every woman. To deal with this, the new world government changes the draft, conscripting all women from 18-21 for state-sponsored prostitution. As compensation, at age 22 a woman's vote is worth 20 of a man's. As a result, Earth is a LadyLand... as long as they keep supporting the system of institutionalized rape. As you'd imagine, a lot of female political figures in this setting cannot really be considered ''[[ShellShockedVeteran sane]]''. And men who partake of the system can't really be considered ethical, either.
* Military science fiction ''Literature/{{Victoria}}'' has a literal [[ANaziByAnyOtherName "feminazi"]] example in the Azanian Democratic Republic, a high-tech fascist LadyLand that treats men as an undesirable minority, has outlawed pregnancy and motherhood and reproduces through [[HomosexualReproduction eugenic cloning]].
* ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'': The Red Ajah of the Aes Sedai consider it mandatory to hate men on principle (they focus on [[DePower gentling]] male channelers, who all go mad and pose a threat otherwise). Even those who don't actively hate men frequently refer to them all as essentially dumb children who need to be led. In a Q&A, when someone asked Robert Jordan why these female characters are so obnoxious, he denied they were and said all women really act this way in private (based on observations of [[CreatorProvincialism his family]] as a boy).
* Manda from the ''Literature/JessicaDarling'' series considers herself [[GoodBadGirl a strong woman in charge of her sexuality,]] and will justify that position with any number of references to prominent feminist thinkers. The narrator (who is, admittedly, of the [[UnreliableNarrator slightly unreliable variety]]) considers her a pretentious AlphaBitch who uses feminist rhetoric to justify doing things like sleeping with the boyfriend of one of her supposed best friends.

* ''Literature/TheAnderssons'': The women in a typical 1970s commune refuse to do things like cleaning up their own messes around the house, because "we women have to start caring about more important things". It is up to newcomer Nina to point out that ''somebody'' has to clean the house. And as there are no men in the commune, the women have to help each other with all the chores. It is implied that they get better after Nina had to tell them off, but they still are extreme by the standards of most other people in the area.
* The totalitarian [[PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny Republic of Anglia]] in ''Literature/WhoNeedsMen'' is "Feminazi" in the sense that it is a LadyLand ruled by people who are ANaziByAnyOtherName, only with the [[OneGenderRace racism]] aimed against men.

* The "Womynists" in ''Film/{{PCU}}'' -- PlayedForLaughs, though, as ''everyone'' was a [[StrawCharacter Strawman Political]].

** Liz Lemon uses feminism to cover for her insecurity about being single. She refuses to celebrate Valentine's Day and tells Pete's daughter "I will buy some cookies, but not for Valentine’s Day. Instead, these cookies celebrate the February 14th birthday of Anna Howard Shaw, famed American suffragette. Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day to you, Evelyn. A happy Anna Howard Shaw Day to us all!"

* The third-party [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons D&D 3e]] book ''The Slayer's Guide to Amazons'' has amazons who view men as only good for [[LadyLand siring daughters]] [[spoiler:(and for [[BlackWidow sacrificing to their goddess after the fact]])]], [[OffingTheOffspring bash in the skulls of any unlucky sons]], have estrus cycles like [[{{Pun}} bitches]], and are classified as {{Neutral|Evil}} {{Evil|IsSexy}}.

* Throughout ''Series/CoppersEnd'', Sergeant Pringle runs a Women's Lib campaign, which she intensifies in the final episode, "Caught Him - For a While!".

* ''Nightstand'': This 1990s parody of daytime talk shows had the recurring Straw Feminist guest Dr. [[JustForPun Sans-Peen]]. A [[DoesNotLikeMen man-hating lesbian]], the one time she agreed with her male chauvinist counterpart was wanting to see a nubile female guest jump up and down some more.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'': Ms. Janet Barch. It's apparently got something to do with a previous husband; she often goes on rants about wasting "twenty-two thankless years" with him, and at times will start screaming at other men as if they were actually him. She eventually [[DefrostingIceQueen mellows out]] a bit... [[PitbullDatesPuppy at least with]] [[HippieTeacher Mr. O'Neill]]. The example can count as a deconstruction of the trope since WordOfGod says that Barch served as a way of showing how ridiculously unrealistic the straw feminist character really is when compared to the more moderate feminist Helen, and non-feminist woman Daria.

* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': Dr. Janice Lester, appearing in the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E24TurnaboutIntruder TurnaboutIntruder]]" starts off ''claiming'' to be frustrated that [[BlatantLies women can't be Starfleet captains]][[note]]supposedly, Gene Roddenberry meant for that to be true (he was going through a nasty divorce at the time the episode was produced), but the appearances of female captains in other ''Trek'' works, some even [[Series/StarTrekDiscovery predating TOS]], indicate that that isn't the case. Currently, the official line is that Lester was barred from captaincy because she was too unstable for the position, which is hard to argue with given her actions in the episode[[/note]], but quickly reveals herself to be AxCrazy and hijacks the ''Enterprise'' [[GrandTheftMe in Kirk's body]]. Once she's in the captain's chair, she turns into a straight-up GodSaveUsFromTheQueen. Then, Kirk speculates that the real reason behind her actions is her hatred of being a [[{{Irony}} woman]].

* In ''Series/TheMorningShow'', Alex's personal assistant Isabella has this vibe, [[AcceptableTargets with some Gen Z stereotyping as well.]] When [[spoiler:Alex leaves the show and disappears to Italy without telling anyone and stops answering all attempts to communicate with her]] in Season 2, Chip drops by Alex's penthouse on orders from Mia to get some answers, and finds Isabella. In addition to being barely capable of having an adult conversation with Chip -- being first uncooperative, then disrespectful, then silently pouting -- Isabella responds to his pressing her for info with...a bizarre and totally out-of-left-field lecture about the faults of "mediocre white men." [[DontShootTheMessage Even if you happen to agree]] with her assessment of men and/or of Chip ([[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMorningShow/comments/qh7c8i/mediocre_white_men_scene_major_cringe/ and]] [[https://www.npr.org/2021/10/22/1045977613/the-morning-show-recap-season-2-ep-6-alex-is-gone-and-so-is-bradleys-privacy many]] [[https://www.vulture.com/article/the-morning-show-recap-season-2-episode-6-a-private-person.html didn't]]), having her rant about it in an unrelated conversation this way -- combined with the fact that she works for (and ardently defends) Alex, herself a white woman who doubles as one of the most toxic characters on the entire show -- makes her supposed progressivism come off as childishly immature and hypocritical, which, in a bit of comic relief, Chip actually lampshades.
