Trope redirected per TRS
Can the trope cover instances where someone ridicules a man, not just a boy, for being physically weak, for just looking feminine (like what happened to Chihiro Fujisaki from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc), or for doing domestic duties instead of working to support the family?

I'd say no, since this is a subtrope of Coming of Age Story.

Pulled this from the Monty Python entry, because it just felt like a lengthy paragraph of explaining the joke.
- Arguably the Python sketch reflects a long-standing trend both in fiction and reality in Britain in the 20th century as a select few members of the working-class managed to break into occupations traditionally reserved for higher classes. One good example of this would be DH Lawrence in the beginning of the century, and by the 1950s there was a whole swath of "Angry Young Men" trying to reconcile their working-class backgrounds with their new educations- leading to the Kitchen Sink Drama.
Gah — this name doesn't work at all — those unfamiliar with the work Billy Elliot are left with zero info.

So the basic trope is that Billy wants to do something feminine, and his father wants him to do something masculine. One of the listed inversion is a female character wanting to do something masculine rather than something feminine. Is this a proper inversion, or just a Gender Flip? I think that a truly inverted example would be when a male character wants to do something masculine and his parents want him to do something feminine (This one is also listed).

I really don't like the alternative Reconstruction in the Playing With section. It's a Broken Aesop.
