^^The problem with ActionHero is that the page only touches on the fact that most {{Action Hero}}es are male, and in a single sentence, too. If you read the description, it actually says, in bold print, that ActionHero applies to both males and females. The trope description is ''only'' about what an ActionHero is and what he does. And if you're referring to the usage of male pronouns, it's just a case of the MenAreGenericWomenAreSpecial trope for the sake of a simpler description.

^FatSlob is an entirely independent concept of what you're thinking of. The man who is past his prime is a trope in itself, called JadedWashout (which actually used to be named "The Al Bundy" in the past). And I'm still not convinced that MenAreTough is a better name than ActionGuy. MenAreTough ''would'' be a good name, but as you said earlier, "tough" is a fairly vague concept, and it doesn't explain some tropes. Now, I also proposed making a MenAreUncouth YKTTW, which would cover FatSlob and other related tropes.
