Okay, I found this in the PlayingWith entry under \\\"subversion\\\":
* Alice kicks ass and takes names, but is shown to have a softer (and perhaps more \\\"feminine\\\") side to her personality, or like \\\"girly\\\" hobbies such as baking cakes and cross-stitching off the battlefield.
I don\\\'t think this would count as a subversion, because the idea is that an ActionGirl is simply a girl who \\\'\\\'kicks ass.\\\'\\\' If she happens to be feminine, then it\\\'s still this trope because said femininity doesn\\\'t detract from her {{badass}}ery. That section sounds like (or at least is encouraging) RealWomenNeverWearDresses to me. We should take that one down.
A \\\'\\\'true\\\'\\\' subversion would be FauxActionGirl, since it sets up the expectation for [[ActionGirl one trope]], and [[FeetOfClay then falls flat when called to act]]. Please, please someone change that.
EDIT: It\\\'s potentially HilariousInHindsight when you consider the trope GirlyBruiser. But it\\\'s still pretty sad when far too many people on ThisVeryWiki are firm believers in RealWomenNeverWearDresses.
