Both WomenAreDelicate and EveryoneIsRightHanded fall under ubiquitous.  That's why they're omnipresent.  Because they occur constantly everywhere.  They're exactly the sort of trope that bit of the description is talking about it.

Most people don't makes a concious decision to use them.  Unfortunately, a lot of people have a hard time recognizing supertropes as tropes because they see them everywhere.  That would be the problem you seem to be falling into.

You appear to be one of the people causing the problem that we're trying to fix and your arguments indicate that you're missing the point of it entirely.  It's good incite into the thought process, but I'm not sure how to explain it to you in such a way that you'll understand.  You seem to be defining tropes entirely on a gut reaction.  You feel like something is chairs, therefore it must be.

What's very odd is that you dismiss tropes that are defaults as not being omnipresent and then say that's what you think that phrase means.  I'm quite lost.  There are far too many contradictions there.
