This page needs some work. The description states: \\\"An Improbably Female Cast is when a work\\\'s cast is dominated by women in a situation where this is incredibly unlikely.\\\"

What exactly is an \\\'unlikely\\\' abundance of females? Does this mean that only shows/films that try to be somewhat realistic can be listed as examples eg. a show about a submarine in the 1920s that\\\'s staffed entirely by women?

Most of the examples on this page are fantasy, if the characters exist in a completely made up world where magic or superpowers exist then why would an all female police force or an all female army-unit be \\\'unlikely\\\'.

I\\\'ve been going through the examples and \\\'\\\'a lot\\\'\\\' of them are just where the story follows a female and her (predominantly) female friends and there\\\'s little mention of why their presence is \\\'improbable\\\' or \\\'highly unlikely\\\'.

I propose that we change the trope so that it\\\'s specifically for works that are heavily influenced by real life and take place in historically male-dominated areas (1900 navy, etc) because as it stands it seems to be implying that any work with more females than males is \\\'improbable\\\'.
